The Mighty Diamonds – When Harmony Becomes a Weapon | Reggae & Caribbean History Documentary

The Mighty Diamonds – When Harmony Becomes a Weapon dives deep into Caribbean history and Jamaican music, tracing how three Trenchtown youths—Tabby, Bunny, and Judge—turned sweet harmonies into a fearless weapon against Babylon, colonization, and social injustice. Guided by leading history experts and reggae scholars, this episode weaves black history, heritage, and untold truths with rare studio tapes, live‑show memories, and eyewitness interviews from Kingston to Angola and Trinidad and Tobago.

When lead singer Donald “Tabby” Shaw was tragically assassinated in 2022, the caribbean podcast scene—and the global reggae community—confronted a chilling question: Why do prophets pay the ultimate price for telling uncomfortable stories? From the streets of Jamaica to the wider caribbean diaspora, we explore cultural resilience, island life, and the enduring spirit that keeps these messages alive.

Whether you’re a traveler chasing caribbean vibes, a music lover digging into reggae and dancehall, or a history buff eager for candid history tales, this documentary delivers powerful storytelling, archived melodies, and a call to protect the voices that still sing for freedom.
