Notes from the Underground: The dance and my encounter with Ganja!

The show started late and I was there with my friend Mark, executive producer of RiseUp. This was a standard Jamaican dance, with selectors (disc jockeys) spinning the latest tracks but also aiding in the "clashes" between battling DJ's, who are the Jamaican artists who do Dancheall, the hard-sounding musical genre that has taken over Jamaica. It was in this dance that I first saw Ganja like I never had before. It is carried around in big bunches and sold at the dance. I was filming and as I panned the camera, I came into a close-up of a healthy bundle of the herb! Here is a short clip that shows what it was like being at that dance.
