About
The Jab Jab’s appearance is meant to represent defiance, resistance, and a connection to Grenada's history of slavery and emancipation. The character is known for its energetic dancing, drum rhythms, and use of props like whips, chains, and horns, which can symbolize a breaking of the chains of oppression. The "Jab Jab" often leads or participates in early morning celebrations called J'ouvert, marking the beginning of Carnival festivities with vibrant music, dance, and revelry.
