“Femina Ganja”: Feminine Hi-Fi brings together women from Jamaica and Brazil in new single and music video

Feminine Hi-Fi, a São Paulo-led project and label led by women and focused on the language of reggae and sound system, launched on October 10th the track “Femina Ganja”. The single, produced by Digitaldubs, features voices and composition from singers Lei Di Dai, Laylah Arruda, Mis Ivy, Shirley Casaverde and Jamaican Sister Carol.

Feminine power and awareness

Femina Ganja brings to listeners the format that became popular in Jamaica from the 1960s and spread throughout the world at sound system parties. In it, several singers deal with the same riddim (name given in Jamaica to the instrumental base), which inspired over time other genres and musical strands, such as rap and its cyphers.  

Jamaican Kingston-born Jamaican Sister Carol was raised in New York's Brooklin neighborhood and opened her own label called Black Cinderella in the 1980s. She is one of the pioneering female voices of world reggae. Also known as Mother Culture, it brings in its lyrics conscious messages on topics such as female power, ancestry and society. While in Brazil in 2018, Carol joined singers Laylah Arruda, Lei Di Dai, Mis Ivy and Shirley Casaverde under digital production from Digitaldubs, and the result was the single Femina Ganja. 

The range is available at all digital platforms, and the premiere is accompanied by a music video directed by Bianca Hoffmann. Watch below or clicking here!
