Beanji Meets Reggae – Rhythm, Roots & Rastafari




In Kingston’s Trenchtown, the birthplace of reggae, Beanji felt the bass before he even heard the music. Street murals of Bob Marley and Peter Tosh watched over as a group of locals passed around a hand drum and started to play.

What Makes Reggae So Powerful?

  • 🎶 Born in 1960s Jamaica — a fusion of ska, rocksteady, and Rastafari rhythm
  • 🪘 Defined by deep bass, syncopated guitar, and conscious lyrics
  • 🕊️ Reggae carries messages of peace, struggle, love, and unity

Beanji’s Reggae Essentials:

  • 🎧 Bob Marley – “Natural Mystic”
  • 🎧 Sizzla – “Thank You Mama”
  • 🎧 Protoje – “Who Knows”

“Reggae isn’t just music — it’s how Jamaica breathes.” – Beanji

One love. One vibe. And one more island checked off Beanji’s global flavor tour.

From bustling city corners to misty mountain villages, his teacup never stayed empty for long. Because here, chai isn’t just tea — it’s how India says “welcome.” 🫖 Stop #1: Mumbai — Street Chai & City Buzz His first chai came from a clanking stall on a street in Mumbai.

Instant hug. 🌄 Stop #2: Darjeeling — Chai in the Clouds In the cool hill stations of West Bengal, Beanji tasted first flush Darjeeling tea — delicate, floral, lighter than the masala blends.

  Beanji in Turkey: Tea, Talk, and Tulips When Beanji arrived in Turkey, he expected baklava. What he didn’t expect was how deeply tea — or çay — flowed through every corner of life. From the bustling bazaars of Istanbul to the tea-covered hills of Rize, Beanji quickly learned: in Turkey, you’re never alone with a glass of çay . 🕌 Stop #1: Istanbul — Street Tea & Simit Rings Beanji’s first encounter came in Istanbul. As he wandered through the Grand Bazaar, a shopkeeper waved him in — not to sell, but to share. A small, tulip-shaped glass of black tea arrived, hot and deep red. No milk. Just sugar cubes and warm conversation. “This,” the shopkeeper said, “is our welcome.” 🌿 Stop #2: Rize — Where Tea Grows Wild Curious where this magical tea came from, Beanji hopped a train east to Rize , Turkey’s lush tea capital along the Black Sea. There, he hiked through endless green hills covered in tea shrubs. Locals plucked leaves by hand. Beanji even helped — sort of (he mo...
