“Jab Jab” comes from the French Creole diable (devil) — a Carnival tradition born in the Caribbean, especially Grenada and Trinidad. Enslaved Africans, excluded from colonial celebrations, created their own. By painting themselves in oil and playing the “devil,” they mocked their masters, turned fear into power, and kept cultural memory alive.
Today, Jab Jab is not about evil — it’s about resistance, survival, and pride. A living link between Carnival, rebellion, and the Caribbean spirit.

Reclaiming a derogatory term:
The word "Jab" comes from the French "diable" (devil), a label used by colonizers to demean enslaved Africans. Freed slaves reclaimed this term to create a powerful symbol of their liberation from oppressors

Colossians 2:8
See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.
