If I'm not mistaken it was through your mother. How are you enjoying life so far? Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day unless you have other plans? :)
Rima110 The only people who think Afrika is a country are ignorant & racist americans/europeans. Adding the country to the title isn't going to help the ignorant grasp that Afrika is a continent... Most culturally conscious people of Afrikan "ascent"[that means Black people] throughout the Diaspora know what regions/ethnic groups our dances & songs come from w/o having to state it in the title. Besides the person who uploaded the video says where the dance is from in the description below it.
I am a proud African living abroad yet Ive managed to keep the culture alive, I have with me some drums & all the traditional attire. It only takes a moron to think that being loyal to traditional values is primitivism. Pple go about vomiting rubbish on every video they see on youtube. These same people can dance any other kind of dance & are equally exposed to all the technology & modern entertainment, in this instance they are only but upholding their banner. @MLBinwa thanx for the video
I never understand why ppl click on these viedos if they say they hate black ppl. get over yourselves this is why there is so much violence in american and for that fact anyother part of the world. no i am not black but i am mixed and i am proud of it.i think the cultures of other contries r cool and we could all learn from them. and no i am not 70 years old i am only 13 so if i can a grown adult should be able to do it to so grow up and open ur eyes.
@52midnightmoon me i don't understand too. i have the same problem. i'm greek and when i click greek music on youtube the turkish people write bad things about greece. better you ignore people like this. i like african music too much:)
I love this video!! It's great, I wish people could be more respectful for such wonderful things. We all are decents of the africans on this planet, but some are closer, such as people like me who are half African American. Please someone delete those comments on here that use the unexceptable racist word beginnig with, 'n'.
i think it's sad that there are so many racists out there, i mean its just an old tradition and some of our own traditions are akward for others to. for exemple who in their right man would give his child to sit on the knee of a fat dude with a long beard that covers his whole fase and a drunk reindeer...i mean what the hell
i'm joking but we all have our traditions that may seem kind of funny to other people :)
I am so proud to be African when I see these dances, people who say that we are savages or we should go back to the jungle are just JEALOUS because the African culture is the largest culture and most beautiful of the world !!! Like Africans of France say," Haters will lose weight " !!!
@adyaH12 Yes, be proud of who you are...You have a nice culture and tradition...Some Americans call my people savages, they haters because they have no cultures.
@adyaH12 My ancestry lies in Greece, but I love this dance. It's just so alive ^_^ ... sometimes I feel like Africa is a different planet, because it's so different and diverse, and I mean that in the best possible way. And all the immature, insecure people saying "they should go back to the jungle" just don't understand the culture.
honestly i loved the video and was inspired i am learning how to dance kinda like this i am not trying to copy them but to learn from them it is so much fun but i will never be as these people.
After living in Accra, Ghana, West Africa for only 31 days over the summer 2010, I've grown a great deal of respect for my culture and ancestory!!! I came back to the USA with a total new outlook and aspect of life... The Ghanaian people were so insprirational, helping, encouraging.. They were so full of life! I wish everyone in America could visit a country in Africa... It would teach us a great deal of respect for different cultures... BTW (By the way) I love the traditions!!!
I take great pride in my culture, beautiful exotic dance moves instead of the gross stripper dances we have in the black community (shaking the booty etc.)
I think this is lovely, thank you for posting, People all over the world dance to celebrate many things, were really not so very at all. It is my hope that the internet and websites like youtube not only allow us to learn about one another but maybe, just maybe we can learn to appreciate one another even if its for our differences.By the way (and sad I feel I need to post this), but I am a 41 yr old female Christian Amercian.

ok punkass white ppl u ruin the earth we dnt we choose to be tribal so stop talkin shit. nd we fucked up the cracker ass british with spears nd shields when they had guns so i think we are far superior warriors so fuck skinheads D.O.A
i have an interest in watching native dancing and i really enjoyed your clip. it's like looking at a whole new world through different eyes. i bet it was awesome watching it in person.
this makes me feel proud 2 be a black godess from the mother land. thank you africa 4 giving me all you had 2 offer though some of your children are ignorant to who they are as they have forgotten that they were once kings and queens b4 the white man came and raped the continent, but we your awakend chidren cherish and love you and will always honour and be thankful that we were born under the stars with wisdom and knowledge which you have kept for us 2 remember & pass it 2 the next generation

Thank you for posting that comment from shantu476.
It doesn't add or take anything to the world we are living in. The Africans have all the reasons to be very proud and happy for theirs traditions. Only someone who has been in Africa can understand this.
The world is full of of whites who have a strong belief in their own supremacy. They are not shy to express their views by words revealing an equally primitive thinking: "stupid niggers, this is so primitive, go back to the jungle.
Thanks for your comment. I don't see being primitive as being a bad thing and would say that Shantu476's comment is shared by a very small percentage of white people, and that it is a very ignorant and dark comment vs being primitive.
Africa is a wonderful continent full of great people with lots of diversity. They have much to be proud of and I'd say one would not have to go there to understand this, as we live in the information age.
@Tuffegren Yeah, It's time for everybody to be proud of the achievements of everybody else before we're all gonna have to be ashamed of ourselves collectively, for screwing things up so badly both between ourselves as brothers/sisters and for blowing up the planet so badly... All the other creatures in the world deserve to be recognized, honored, appreciated & celebrated for playing their part & contributing to the circle of life and death/renewal on the planet. Hatred didn't create the world .
I waited two weeks before allowing this comment (maybe it's a cry for help, as you need some) Have you always hated black people? I'm assuming you hate more then just black people? Did your parents teach you this or some school friends?
While I'm assuming things, I'm going to assume you don't Love yourself and your not a happy person overall.
I have many great friends who are African and African American and they are very intelligent and Loving.
@shantu476 Um aren't they already in the jungle right here mister smart white man or you might be black tryin to get some attention you freakin ass wipe1
@shantu476 Hurting people, hurt people. Perhaps if you did a little dancing instead of low rateing others>IT WOULD'NT HURT SO BAD...........unless you're a freak for pain. Got a question for ya>>>How's life treating u now, how far have u gotten with an attitude like yours 1 year later??
@shantu476 so first of all, if u dont like African Americans then y r u watching this? secondly, this video was taken in Africa(in the jungle) and it is their own tradition. and third, y r u criticizing their dance when im sure urs is no better. at least others can actually enjoy this...well that was untill u came along and posted the most idiotic comment iv ever seen
first of all these aren't african americans so fuck you. therefore: If i dont like african americans, then I should not have any problems watching this video as THESE ARE NOT AFRICAN AMERICANS. so fuck off.
ah they dress much like the people of Fiji, I am part Fijian and it is so interesting to see the similarities of Fijians to Africans, including singing style, language and old tradition. Fijians are the only ones in the pacific who are not polynesian or micronesian, they are different. Most of the ethnic dancing is about life, hunting fishing, gathering food etc, this dance looks like celebrating or getting ready for the hunt...
I've always loved the way African Americans danced. Ever since I was a little girl , i'd watch and I always wanted to be the one dancing with them . I'm Salvadorean , but I just love this
what exactly is a traditional african dance? well am very eager since there r more than 50 countries in africa, i shud wud love to learn how to dance "the traditional african dance" lol how amusing
If you read the info on this video you will learn more about this dance. I recommend you always read the info on a video before making a comment such as yours.
I kept the video title short for a reason. I figured those interested in watching the video, would read about it.
@MLBinwa then u should call the title traditional zimbabwe dance. if "traditional american dance" doesnt come up in your head (since there r so many ethnicities in america and u will more likely be thinking of native americans eventho the white/european or black or asian or white/middle-eastern groups there think they equally belong), then why shud u call a zimbabwean dance "african" eventho i assume most of the literate ppl know zimbabwe is in africa? ok whatever nevermind
@smukase one of the traditional dances by any of the tribes of africa. the title isn't "THE Traditional african dance" because most tribes aren't assosiated with a nation.. nor are all tribes still represented as a single people, it's hard to name things sometimes...
@smukase theres no such thing as "traditional african dance". Africa has more than 2,000 ethnic groups, there's no how there can be 1 common dance. Every ethnic group has their own way of dancing.
@smukase Ohh Dear, a Traditional African dance can be described as a mutual connection of the body and nature. In this case, it means, the heart helps the body to move thro the air, portraying the beauty in the sound of the music played. Imagine yourself flowing like a stream, blowing like the wind, then........ move your head upwards, sideways and let ur feet leave the ground and land, with your arms flowing up right and down left....... then vice versa........just move yourself through air
@smukase Well, you're right, there are over 50 countries. There are also tons of ethnic groups and dances done for different reasons. So it kind of depends on where and when you are in Africa.
@smukase You sound sarcastic if you are screw you your probably white and can't understand how africa is, and if you weren't then MLBinwa already said it for you :)
Y is it that some people make angry n hateful statements on race or a vid?The truth is u r intrigued by Africans, n African Americans. If u hated us so much y did ur forefathers leave the beds of there so called beautiful wives in2 unrequited beds of our foremothers.Y did so many people steal music n music ideas from African Americans, Yes Africa also had slaves, this whole slave idea was EVIL. Y r u even looking at ths vid? but u hate? Lets B real, DEEP DOWN U LOVE US N U WANT TO B LIKE US!!!
There was a program on TV a few weeks ago on Emitt Smith the Great Cowboys Football player. They did DNA testing on him and found out he had white blood in him as well as some Native American.
He was said to be around 86% African, which was said to be among the highest of the African Americans.
@MsMailove SPEAK TRUTH! The hateful ones will NEVER admit it- they'd rather call us savages and uncivilized & deny our true natural superior beauty- than to digress & embrace what they secretly love so much -
@MsMailove As much as I disagree witth the troll and as much as I love this vid, and as much as I agree with most of this statement, I MUST disagree on one point and that is merely this: I do not want to be like you. I'd much rather be like me.
why u fighting over race just ..whites did sum nasty crap and blacks too.... this is to see a culture nuthing to do with rce this video...so both build a bridge and get ur asses over coz im sick and tired of yr bullshits!!!
i am from africa trust me its very beautiful continent with rich welcoming honorable pple .................................i am sure the pictures out there with starving hungry pple on tvs are not doing any justice to us.................................i love you AFRICA
so many of these comments are about race--- this is a dance video. Let's appreciate it for what it is. Those who want to change things should stop sitting around commenting on youtube videos and actually DO SOMETHING to make some change or just shut up so the rest of us can enjoy this dance video.
The modern science says that there are no human races... our DNA is just so similar between all the people on this earth. I consider that as a good thing - race talk is simply... bull shit. The more relevant differences are cultural and social, not some genes of skin colour. About this dance... any way of keeping the tradition alive is better than no way at all - be it dancing for the tourists.
The White race, or human excrement, is the most vile, wicked, hideous, satanic creature that has ever existed on Earth. Past and present they are responsible for most of the world's wars, slavery, colonialism, lynchings, mass murder, serial killings, rape, land theft, economic exploitation, hatred, lies, and every other evil deed possible.
Of course this is a crazy statement, history will prove that people who do not have White skin had done everything you have listed for the White race.
Hate is a part of the Dark side, so if you hate all White people maybe you might want to look in the mirror.
You could study the history of Africa and you will know that they were killing and enslaving each other before the White race arrived and some tribes helped with the slave trade.
True, but before making this statement again, read and study about slavery in africa vs slavery in america as I have done. The treatment was totally different.
you shouldnt say "African dance" afica is a continent not a country, each country in africa has their own traditions,language, and culture..its the most diverse in the world. Egyptian,morroccan,sudanese algerian is not like ugandan,nigerian,kenyan and ghaninian. we never call irish dance "european dance" so dont do it to africa.
I must be really stupid, because I just do NOT understand this type of banter. I am a Jewish white American & can love,appreciate & learn from the beauty of all people & cultures, including but never limited to, my own. It's 2010. We all have hearts and blood running through our veins. Are we not beyond this bullshit. Bottom line is that we are humans sharing this planet. Embrace diversity-seriously people. (sigh)

I think it is quite ridiculous that people leave comments arguing about "Black" contribution to society versus "white" contribution to society on a dance video. Do people debate social constructs on say a Scottish dance video? Leave the richly melanated people alone for God's sake. Can we just enjoy the video and the exposure to a different culture(s)? Sheesh...
I just think the film was cut off at the main point, just as the horn called dancers to a new stage, maybe the most important in the dancing piece. These things happen normally. Maybe you have another one, better.
I´m neither black nor white, neither yellow nor red. Maybe I´m just a little lightly brown, not blond at all, nothing at all. I don´t care for colours (they all may be beautiful, depending on harmony of the whole piece, lol).
its always the whites i mean i am black i have no problem with white people i like erm but they will never change they hate us we didnt fuckin choose to be black if its not optional people look at me like i am an animal like i dont belong people shout go away NIGAS and do you no whats its always the WHITES i have no problem with whites
@MLBinwa But Im a white person and I love black people not all ofcourse there are probably some people who are just not my type but i just dont look at colours
@MLBinwa no one assumes anything!! it's reality! africa is sooo rich yet we do not benefit from its resources.... the white man does! and i'm aware that not all whites are racists.... but let's face it white supremacy is destroying africa!
Some people do assume things. Some people think it is just a black or white issue.
It isn't, greed and explotation of other people is not just a white issue.
I've been to Africa several times and know a little about this history of many of it's countries. I know there have been many radical black leaders who have contributed to the challenges the continent faces.
I also know a great black man whose dedicated to helping African leaders help themselves, so there is some hope.
its amazing do you know how much black people did for yall white folks. we invented alot of things like the microphone boy i think you need to go back to school. becaue you would have get a lot of blackhistory last month.
All foundations of civil society were invented and laid down by Black people while whites were still savages in caves
Spirituality, Music, law and justices, Science, Engineering, Medicine Mathematics, Algebra, agriculture and all this can be proven in with facts in stone and on papyrus. That is why they teach you lies

@Tuffegren Yeah, It's time for everybody to be proud of the achievements of everybody else before we're all gonna have to be ashamed of ourselves collectively, for screwing things up so badly both between ourselves as brothers/sisters and for blowing up the planet so badly... All the other creatures in the world deserve to be recognized, honored, appreciated & celebrated for playing their part & contributing to the circle of life and death/renewal on the planet. Hatred didn't create the world .

I waited two weeks before allowing this comment (maybe it's a cry for help, as you need some) Have you always hated black people? I'm assuming you hate more then just black people? Did your parents teach you this or some school friends?
While I'm assuming things, I'm going to assume you don't Love yourself and your not a happy person overall.
I have many great friends who are African and African American and they are very intelligent and Loving.
I pray your heart opens.

Pienso que decir que los africanos y afroamericanos son inteligentes y amorosos es tan racista como decir que no lo son.
No se trata de "aceptar" al otro porque quienes somo para hacerlo? Somos TODOS los seres humanos diferentes, y creo que esa diferencia nos enriquece.

ah they dress much like the people of Fiji, I am part Fijian and it is so interesting to see the similarities of Fijians to Africans, including singing style, language and old tradition. Fijians are the only ones in the pacific who are not polynesian or micronesian, they are different. Most of the ethnic dancing is about life, hunting fishing, gathering food etc, this dance looks like celebrating or getting ready for the hunt...

@MLBinwa then u should call the title traditional zimbabwe dance. if "traditional american dance" doesnt come up in your head (since there r so many ethnicities in america and u will more likely be thinking of native americans eventho the white/european or black or asian or white/middle-eastern groups there think they equally belong), then why shud u call a zimbabwean dance "african" eventho i assume most of the literate ppl know zimbabwe is in africa? ok whatever nevermind
smukase 1 year ago
@smukase one of the traditional dances by any of the tribes of africa. the title isn't "THE Traditional african dance" because most tribes aren't assosiated with a nation.. nor are all tribes still represented as a single people, it's hard to name things sometimes...

@smukase theres no such thing as "traditional african dance". Africa has more than 2,000 ethnic groups, there's no how there can be 1 common dance. Every ethnic group has their own way of dancing.

jay4457 1 year ago
@smukase Ohh Dear, a Traditional African dance can be described as a mutual connection of the body and nature. In this case, it means, the heart helps the body to move thro the air, portraying the beauty in the sound of the music played. Imagine yourself flowing like a stream, blowing like the wind, then........ move your head upwards, sideways and let ur feet leave the ground and land, with your arms flowing up right and down left....... then vice versa........just move yourself through air

Deep down we are all one.
There was a program on TV a few weeks ago on Emitt Smith the Great Cowboys Football player. They did DNA testing on him and found out he had white blood in him as well as some Native American.
He was said to be around 86% African, which was said to be among the highest of the African Americans.

The modern science says that there are no human races... our DNA is just so similar between all the people on this earth. I consider that as a good thing - race talk is simply... bull shit. The more relevant differences are cultural and social, not some genes of skin colour. About this dance... any way of keeping the tradition alive is better than no way at all - be it dancing for the tourists.

The White race, or human excrement, is the most vile, wicked, hideous, satanic creature that has ever existed on Earth. Past and present they are responsible for most of the world's wars, slavery, colonialism, lynchings, mass murder, serial killings, rape, land theft, economic exploitation, hatred, lies, and every other evil deed possible.

@Exposingwhitechimps
Of course this is a crazy statement, history will prove that people who do not have White skin had done everything you have listed for the White race.
Hate is a part of the Dark side, so if you hate all White people maybe you might want to look in the mirror.
You could study the history of Africa and you will know that they were killing and enslaving each other before the White race arrived and some tribes helped with the slave trade.

Egyptian,morroccan,sudanese algerian is not like ugandan,nigerian,kenyan and ghaninian. we never call irish dance "european dance" so dont do it to africa.

I think it is quite ridiculous that people leave comments arguing about "Black" contribution to society versus "white" contribution to society on a dance video. Do people debate social constructs on say a Scottish dance video? Leave the richly melanated people alone for God's sake. Can we just enjoy the video and the exposure to a different culture(s)? Sheesh...

I just think the film was cut off at the main point, just as the horn called dancers to a new stage, maybe the most important in the dancing piece. These things happen normally. Maybe you have another one, better.
I´m neither black nor white, neither yellow nor red. Maybe I´m just a little lightly brown, not blond at all, nothing at all. I don´t care for colours (they all may be beautiful, depending on harmony of the whole piece, lol).

I don't hate black people (just like millions of other people who look white).
I've been to Africa and have several dear friends who I Love and trust who are black Africans.
All most all black people born in America have other blood in them, like Native American and yes, even White blood.
I just watched a show with Emmitt Smith the football player and he found out he has Native and White blood in his family tree.

Some people do assume things. Some people think it is just a black or white issue.
It isn't, greed and explotation of other people is not just a white issue.
I've been to Africa several times and know a little about this history of many of it's countries. I know there have been many radical black leaders who have contributed to the challenges the continent faces.
I also know a great black man whose dedicated to helping African leaders help themselves, so there is some hope.
