Lyrics to Diaspora & Dishes (Jordan's Question)
Jordan, come over here and help me
Okay. So mom, where did all the slaves go that survived the Middle Passage?
Well, that's a long answer, baby. Um, basically, they go to the major slave port cities in the Caribbean or the Americas like Charleston, South Carolina or Baltimore, Maryland.
Mm
You've been to some of these places. Havana, Cuba, Caracas, Venezuela, San Juan, Puerto Rico, Port Royal, Jamaica, Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. Actually, 40% of all the slaves that survived the Middlе Passage went to Brazil -- isn't that crazy?
Really?
That's almost half, so you probably havе family there, ha-ha-ha! Amongst other places, um, so, yeah, we're basically everywhere, baby
