These people are not stupid or insane. I used to live like this but I got lucky to get a western education. And now I am a medical doctor. And I tell you. My days like these in this video are more memorable than the days of today with clever industrialists and Oil companies and insurance companies and advertisers deceiving us, or finding new ways to enslave the innocent ones all the time.

[knsiah666]

Do not be IGNORANT, people! This is how your, and my parents or fore parents were. Thank your God that one of your forefathers was taken here by slave traders or found a way to get here illegally or by some stroke of luck; and now you are here making fun of Our Heritage. Will you rather be bought and be enslaved by BP oil company or be free and enjoy the traditional values?

[raimonster212]

@CassidyOG this is not sh** as u called it.first,it's a matter of culture,and the first criterion of a certain culture is Uniqueness.Second,if u want to globalise things then why don't you take off you skin and melt into something like this? can you?

respect.

[ShikeoFujiwara]

Folk music from Bafut, a village of the Ngemaba people of Bamenda. It developed in the mid 20th century, is simplistic, with usually just two instruments - guitar and bottle needed to get going. The guy doing the one, two, etc tells the dancers what moves to do. All dancing couples in a circle must follow the instructions. Sometimes poor dancers are punished by being eliminated from the dance floor. Rurual folks take out a farming day's stress dancing to rhythms like this in the evening.

Ayo Cousin... De quelles Ethnies ces sympathiques Camerounais font-ils partis ? Sont-ils éloigné du Mont CAMEROUN (secteur LIMBé ?)...Et comment nomme-t-on ce style de musique ? MERCI et Bravo..
