African Harp and Thumb Piano Ensemble

[ljrcantread]

The lyrics are something like "Baba ninajua kupenda wewe," which means "Father, I know that I love you." "Kupenda," the word they keep repeating means to love in Kiswahili. "Wewe" means you.

[glkification]

makes me want to sing along

[purity4all]

I Love this. Wish I knew what they were saying.

[HeshimaJameni]

What country is this? They are, in fact, singing in Swahili language.

[alkisaka]

@HeshimaJameni

This is in Uganda.....yes you are correct they are singing in Swahili....

[Drewisafish]

This is great!

[djadja1944]

C'est Genial, ce sont des dieux !!!

[EricRSmyth]

If I am ever in Africa, I am getting stoned and going to this village.

[atownlefttrain]

@EricRSmyth I'm sure the villagers would appreciate nothing more than a pudgy, well-to-do Westerner stumbling around their village going duuuuuuuuuude! Please Eric, dude, bro, braaaaaaahhhhh, ask your parents for the money, it's either this or Cancun, no, really, spread the kindness of the kind bud for these poor villagers who are waiting for their messiah, the white monkey God who will come in flip flips and board shorts, chanting to sound of eternity, duuuude, duuuuude...

My grandaughter and I love this music and song. When she visit on a Sunday we almost always play it. We have very small 5 prong African paino which I bought in Africa about 40 years ago and we try to sing and play along. The children look sad and serious in this video. Not many smiles, but I expect that is because it was a church group and they take worship seriously.

[jackmma123]

music is just amazing

[trespa0509]

uffffffffffff q notaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[fumarolas]

Thanx for posting this. Do you know the name of the harp instrument? A relative of Ngoni?

[Rev1981]

@fumarolas it's called a adungu

[zezorb]

realy roots!! this is the real african music... man beutiful!

[JahJahLives]

oohh yeaahhh from the roots!

[davidon30]

This has some real grove, unlike most of the pop music we get from radio and TV.

[SlimyLime]

i love african music (: somehow gives me the feeling that im at a tropical beach or something

[jazivoir225]

The woman has a nice voice =)

[Spiritus7]

Music...the universal language that everyone enjoys!

[Spiritus7]

Wow! EXCELLENT!

[themightychicken]

That is so beautiful! Thanks for posting it. I'm a bit intrigued as to why musicanddrums is annoyed by it? If it's so annoying why is she/he on youtube searching for clips!? I have also been filmed playing percussion in 'foreign' countries. If you are playing in a public space you can't be too concerned about the attention ;P

[tazfam]

I can feel it all over me!!!!

[musicNdrums]

i hate when tourists take pictures of the people like that....

it makes them feel so awkward..... and its annoying

[iamtheeskimofriend]

you're right. They look & sound really annoyed. In all seriousness though, some people may never get the chance to enjoy this kinda moment in real life, so let the youtube culture enjoy what they can.

[musicNdrums]

yeah yur right i guess. But i was once photographed in costa rica cuz they thought i was some kind od native i guess but anyways its really annoying.... so i know from first hand

[derk527]

This looks more like some sort of ethnomusicologist having a song performed for him than some random tourist sneaking into their town and taking pictures of them....

[3mili30728]

what i wouldnt give for a moment like that...

[jqa2001ad]

This was absolutely fantastic. Thank you for documenting and putting it online.

[bellemskey]

Africa the best and most talented...You've got me dancing in the office... Beautiful...

[nestygroove]

belle ambiance avec la senza et le N'Goni . j'adore aussi les chanzs c'est très entraînant !

Bravo

[dtcaper]

i'm getting very interested in learning this soukous style on the guitar, i love the way it makes u feel.

[skinsvideos21]

AWESOME

I love African music.

[soukous70]

Yes! All those traditional instruments like the kalimba(sanza,likembe) and string instruments are the heart of soukous music,along with a nice dose of latin influence too. GREAT video,thank you very much!

[Liloba2006]

Great! In time I will invest my own money into these talented artists...This is only a fraction of the best they could do under the right conditions.

Africa, the land of uncharted greatness!

[obscurity87]

wow that was amazing.
