Reggae Roots: Chant Their Names

Jah’Mila with the NAC Orchestra
  Subtitles available in English

The song “Chant Their Names” is a cry for change in a system that has failed the Black community repeatedly. The lyrics beg for police accountability as singer-songwriter Jah’Mila implores us to keep the memory of these victims alive by chanting their names out loud.
