@catherinek94 loll, wtf?

[PerPlexUK]

Hey Girlz and Guyz , this is fantastic man, keep em comming :)

[DrummerCoCa]

With all this arguing, clearly people aren't listening to the beautiful music. Come on, let things be at peace for just a few minutes :)

[EastAsiandictator]

I hate when people say bad things about Africans because everyone are descendants of Africans.

[ladamadelcaribe]

to the people that say that african has no culture: I blame the white european men your ignorance! they stole african culture, twist it around and then said that africans do not have a culture. There is culture in creating bombs???

[mattsuzo]

@ladamadelcaribe

i agree completely. Jazz and blues are black African creations...NOT American

[Mastermind19871987]

@ladamadelcaribe You have to admit though that African culture wasn't developed to the level of European culture (Shakespeare, Bach, paintings, philosophy) when Europeans started colonizing Africa...but jazz was created by blacks and rock and roll was also hugely influenced by black music...and then there's rap

[ladamadelcaribe]

@Mastermind19871987 that's not true. I mean, think about it, are we taught about african culture? no, we are thought about Europeans. I would say that both influence each other but the colonization of europe by the moors developed europe alot. Some people try to forget that the moors are african. I think its better for both of us to read a book by john G jackson...I read some parts of it for class. its called introduction to african civilization.

[Mastermind19871987]

@ladamadelcaribe I was excluding North Africans. Culturally they're more related the the Middle East than Sub-Saharan Africa

[QilinRider21]

je suis fiere etre d'origine Africain

[T3r3Teezy808]

its sad how you people spread this hate yet dont understand the truth, did you know King Tut, Queen Nefertiti , and all of ancient egypt was black? before Europeans where even civilized or thought of the blacks in Egypt already had civilized societies, ways of math and architecture being built . Greek society based many of their beliefs on egyptian theories. The truth hurts.

[ladamadelcaribe]

@T3r3Teezy808 yeah! AFRICA CIVILIZED EUROPE!

[lionzion22]

@MrKra7as

I see. You admitted you are a white american which means you are severely ignorant and lack a high level of education, thus your ignorant comments posted here.

Makes sense.

[JHillWalk]

africa is one of the last places where you can feel and see the nature like it is

we shouldnt destroy our world

if there wouldnt be this much crime in africa it would be the best place on earth i think!!!

[Viki223]

Beautiful! Thank you! :) LOVE and PEACE.

[braveatlas]

thanx to adam monroe for sharing love and peace ,

[Wizardylan]

Hakuna Matata! =D That's what they sang in the second song right?

oh my gosh the second guy playing guitare with his blue shirt is so hot , i love you !

[TheHansinnguaq]

nice sound..

[davidaud777]

keyboards and guitars are traditionally african?

[feardom13]

Actually, the guitar is an African instrument.

[ElksPlain]

It's not. It's a mix of the scandinavian instrument 'Lupe' and the roman 'Cithara' and was further developed in europe to the Guitar.

[lionzion22]

In that case Africa developed its own "guitar".  It is all over West Africa and always has been.

[gbalah162]

i know right. the song is meant for drums only Iam sorry but the guitar ruins the sound. It doesnt suck but why are the instruments drowning out the singers anyways and the guitar player is off beat and so is the drummer actually.

[braveatlas]

oh my gosh the second guitare player is so hot , i love you

[nitramss]

eaeaaaaaa

[TheLatinaHst]

anyone know the name of the version of this song?

[snowisthebestweather]

what, or who, is Darfur? And why do they want to save it? Sorry, I don't know much about Africa.

[bhillboy37]

Get a clue.

[brycet93]

for some reason i can't remeber it all but darfur is a country in africa and its either in a bloody civil war or faceing diesese and hunger and poverty

[panthersquad]

you didn't forget, you just have no clue about the world

[brycet93]

not really since practically all of africa is in the second and a few in the first....but somalia is wat i was thinking for the civil war

[8888alouette888]

Darfur isn't a country, it's a region in Sudan

[LittleMissMoni]

omg so beautiful

[bliant]

what is called first song? where i can download this song?

[gbalah162]

umm. the original name is Malaika and there are several different versions. one is by Miriam Makeba and the other is by Anjelique Kidjo. they both sing very well by the classic version is Miriam and Anjelique has very strong vocals, she is younger and sings it with more spirit. hope you like it

[GumaroArmando]

@bliant you probably have found out by now that the first song is Malaika. Miriam Makeba and Angelique Kidjo both have beautiful versions

[GlutiusMaximaus]

awesome

i have heard better african songs this is quite nice dough in it's own way dere is a song called fabwar or somtin it is good.

[atlasbrave]

[Rimbombantix]

[wachaushenzi]

son was originally written and sung by a kenyan Late Fadhili williams(RIP)....but Makeba and belafonte,sang and claimed it as their own..and never gave the guy a single royalty(shame)...his last known job was a security guard in New jersey.....I should know i Know some of his Children

[doricht]

africa is so wonderful, I love this continent.

[dreaminpool]

they are tousands kilometers from here but i love african people.. and their culture i hope peace will reach all around the africa and guns will go away forever..

[MrKra7as]

@dreaminpool

African culture? Wow, I'm really surprised; because I never knew that Africans even HAD a culture, 45% of Africa's culture is based on Islamic culture which was brought to them by superior Semitic Caucosoids or Arabs after they had enslaved them and the other 55% of their so-called culture is Christian culture which was brought to them by superior Aryan Caucasoids or Whites after they enslaved them too.

[Kalliopurania]

@MrKra7as: Well, I guess you'll just have to watch this video more closely to understand that African culture does NOT merely consist of Christian and Islamic influences. Dunderhead. And where the heck do you have these percentages from?

[MrKra7as]

Question:

Do you, as a probably white German imply that whites, Arabs and Mongoloids are NOT superior to Negroes?

[Kalliopurania]

@MrKra7as: Yes, I do. And the fact that I'm a white German person has absolutely nothing to do with anything.

[RyanTheChristian]

@MrKra7as What in the hell are you two arguing about? Just enjoy the music! Watching this music should remind you of how much we all have in common with one another, not who is or is not superior to whom. And besides, if you can properly define superiority in one race of humans over another, you're a better man than I.

[MrKra7as]

@Kalliopurania

Explain to me then, why do Negroes have the lowest IQs in the world? The highest rate of AIDs in the world? The poorest, dirties most uncivilized countries in the world? Why are their countries so barbaric, primitive and backward even though no one ever declared wars on them in the past 500 years? Why do Whites, Middle Easterners and Mongoloids have MAGNIFICENT history, unique cultures, THOUSANDS of inventions while blacks have nothing?

It all makes sense, Negroes are inferior!

[Brevity85]

@MrKra7as y'know....thats really funny that you say that negros are inferior but you're spelling in that paragraph was terrible....lmao bet most of them can spell better than you...probably better grammar to

[MrKra7as]

@Brevity85

What are you talking about moron? I didn't make any spelling or grammatical mistakes, go fuck yourself.

[RyanTheChristian]

@MrKra7as That SHOULD read "I didn't make any spelling or grammatical mistakes. (End of sentence, new sentence, capital letter) Go fuck yourself." It's funny when people defending their grammar make grammatical mistakes ;)

[RyanTheChristian]

@MrKra7as MrK, I feel that you are displaying great racial prejudice (not racism necessarily) and also a prejudice for what it means to be superior/inferior. You make some good points, but you ignore (for example) the most powerful man in the world (black) the fastest runner in the world (black) the most forgiving man in history (Nelson Mandela, black), some of the finest actors (Denzel, Morgan Freeman, Samuel L Jackson) most of the best sportsmen (Jordan, Drogba, Tiger) and many, many singers.

[RyanTheChristian]

@MrKra7as Barbaric? I think the people of Afghanistan/Iran/Vietnam/Korea­/take your pick might call us barbaric! And you don't think Africans have magnificant history? Shit, do a little reading! Ever heard of a little place called Egypt? Have you no idea of the history of Ethiopia? Or Tunisia? Or Morocco? As for invention and innovation, look up Dr Charles Richard Drew, George Crum, Philip B Downing, Garrett Morgan, Sarah S Goode, Lewis H Latimer, Elijah McCoy (the REAL McCoy!), Norbert Rillieux

[MrKra7as]

@RyanTheChristian

Egypt? Morocco? Tunisia? Are you kidding me now? I'm talking about BLACK Africa, not NORTH Africa which is full of Semites (Arab, Berbers, Ancient Egyptians), who of course like every other race are superior to Negroes. And by lowest IQ's I mean the MAJORITY of the people, seriously, look it up on the damn internet, there are COUNTLESS of sources out there that prove that black Africa has the lowest IQ's in the whole world, with Borkina Faso having less than 60!

[RyanTheChristian]

@MrKra7as Well hang on now. Africa is Africa, my friend. If you're talking about black Africans then fair enough. However, one of these ignorant, stupid negroes is now the most powerful man in the world, and he ACTUALLY rules you. True, he was educated to a high level, but that only goes to prove that black people are not inferior, just disadvantaged. They CAN learn. They can learn better than you. But they don't have the opportunity. Only a scumbag would hate them because of that.

[MrKra7as]

@RyanTheChristian

So you admit that black Africans are disadvantaged. Ok then, tell me WHY! It all makes sense so admit it; Black Africans are inferior to us and that is why whites, Mongoloids, Middle Easterners, Native Americans all succeeded in avoiding being disadvantaged and created the strongest, most fascinating civilizations in the universe. Think as if there were aliens somewhere in this universe, and how they would view us humans if they landed somewhere in Lesotho! We'd be ashamed !

[RyanTheChristian]

@MrKra7as Heh heh heh. You remind me of me in my obnoxious days. You're a terrific arguer, Mr. However, you have made a false connection: You say "Admit it, black Aricans are inferior to us..." when in fact we've both just come to the correct conclusion that blacks are not inferior, but disadvantaged. Your point about Mongoloids etc is also flawed: The Mongol hordes were no more impressive than the Zulu empire; the Native Americans were virtually wiped out (while Africa survives to this day)

[akatskinaruto]

@MrKra7as mrKra you are very ignorant. africans were aroudn before us and they also learned to lvie with the land isntead of monpilizing everything and stickign the heads up their ass and talk sht. i've seen white rednecks and ignoramouses like you with way lwoer IQ's. i ahve friends whoa re africans also friends who are vietnamese,korean,tai,mongolia­n,australian. and we all are idiots at times. its our personalties and our beliefs thast make us who we are. i can say that most white americans

[akatskinaruto]

@MrKra7as and your reasoning show you are very ignorant needless to say that you think they were barbaric i mean look at the mongols the Aztec and certain other tribes . every land has had its share of barbaric ppl.look at morons like you who think America is so fuckign great at the moment I'm ashamed of being American. the majority of the world hates America because we stick our noses in other ppls business . we treated the slaves as animals how was that teaching them to be civilized.

[MrKra7as]

@RyanTheChristian

I don't hate Africa as a continent, and in fact I don't hate black Africans either. I just dislike black Africans for being such a total waste of space. Why don't we take all of black Africa and turn it into a huge Global Park or Zoo or something? It would be the Oxygen generator and wild-life preserver of the world, in all honesty I think that would be more useful than having barbaric uncultured idiots ruining that beautiful land.

[RyanTheChristian]

@MrKra7as Your argument seems to be "Black people are inferior to white & Asian people because white & Asian people have a longer, more organised history". Which makes no sense to me. You might have a superior, more interesting ancestry than your average African, but your average African can probably run faster, jump higher, sing sweeter & dance better than you. I don't see how one is more superior than the other *overall*. Sooooo, Africans don't build nukes... To me that makes them superior!

[RyanTheChristian]

@MrKra7as And come on! African culture is not only fascinating but it's celebrated the world over! Many of the greatest musicians, athletes and politicians are blacker than your hat. Your alien point is a good one, but wouldn't you also be ashamed if the first people aliens met were radical Muslims? Or the rednecks of the US? Or the Scottish working class? Or Israel? In fact, where would a good place to land be? Other than maybe Washington or London?

[ElPayasoMalo]

@RyanTheChristian The points you make are all very good. :)

If aliens were to land, it might be better that it be in New Delhi or Beijing, since they have the highest populations. Since 1 in 6 people are Han Chinese, wouldn't it make sense that extraterrestrials would see them as more representative of humanity seeing as they are the most common ethnic group?

[RyanTheChristian]

@MrKra7as Calling them a waste of space is also a bit nasty. Come on. Can't you think of anything that Africans contribute to the world? As for the "uncultured idiots ruining that beautiful land", it's their land, bud. And do they really ruin it? Do they ruin their beautiful land by building skyscraper after skyscraper like we do? I think you're being a bit short-sighted. After all, I could argue that Africans are the only people truly not harming this planet. So are they superior after all?!

[RyanTheChristian]

@MrKra7as It's simply a question of perspective, and you clearly see from a very negative and intolerant one. But just as a matter of interest, what do you actually think of the music on this video?

[akatskinaruto]

@MrKra7as also i have to inform you that no IQ test is 100% accurate bro. these ppl who you say have no culture are brimming with it . their culture lives through their way of life,music, and beliefs. and who are you to call them barbaric savages Mr I'm an ignorant American.

[JaguarKinG95]

@MrKra7as lol barbaric land? its one of the first cultures with beatufiul dances / music etc.. i think ur such one which only thinks for money and not to live on this planet and share it for all .if u dont like it , dont watch it and live where you are now.... im from austria,there are lot of foreigners some of them are destroing our culture there, but no black africans... they are singing every day on a place here to get some euros.... and show there culture... how they live. this is the live!

[MrKra7as]

@JaguarKinG95

One of the first cultures? are you fucking kidding me? some places in Africa STILL don't have a culture !

The first cultures/civilizations were both in Asia, the first being in Babylon, Iraq, western Asia and the second being in Beijing, China, eastern Asia. Civilization reached Europe hundreds of years later and over 5000 thousand years from then, civilization still has a long way to go to reach some places in Africa.

[IMFLORIDA305]

@MrKra7as Asia? you dont believe that crock of shit yourself!

[MrKra7as]

@IMFLORIDA305

Believe it or not the first two civilizations were in Iraq and China. I don't care if you call it a crock of shit but it's still the truth.

[ladamadelcaribe]

@MrKra7as give me your sources about first two civilizations were in Iraq and China.

[IMFLORIDA305]

@MrKra7as Also elaborate what is european/white culture? Raping,exploiting,colonizing,g­enocidal savages just to get the ball roling.

[MrKra7as]

@IMFLORIDA305

I'm not even going to waste my life on a moron like you, you may safely assume that nearly everything in your room now was invented by whites.

[IMFLORIDA305]

@MrKra7as Computers,Televisions,satelite­s etc etc = Materialism.Your pal glen beck took the same road "interstate copout".Once again define white culture.You're not a geneticist,anthropologist nor are you skilled in the science of carbon dating so you're credibility holds about as much weight as a feather.Also the origin of civilization is still being disputed by the very fields iv'e mentioned.

[MrKra7as]

@IMFLORIDA305

That's why I said Mesopotamia or China. It's being disputed between Iraq and China. There's just no way Africa is the cradle of civilization. You know why? because Africa STILL doesn't have a civilization.

Get out of Florida and get back to where you belong if you think Africa is so great. Maybe you'd enjoy chasing gazelles with spears and living in a hut with the lions more than having a decent job in a world-level company and living in a high-rise apartment in the USA.

[IMFLORIDA305]

@MrKra7as If it is your belief Afrika has no civilizations of her own without "foreign influence" then i will leave you to dwell in your own ignorance this is elementary "History 101".You're greatest empire however "Greeks thought of their northern" european brethren in such a way! The Greek geographer, Strabo, writing about the 7th century Celts, commented: "Concerning this island, I have nothing further to tell…except that its inhabitants are more savage than the Britons,

[supercreamysperm]

@IMFLORIDA305 There's a difference between having a civilisation and being civilised.

[ladamadelcaribe]

@MrKra7as are you retarded? you need to read! I recommend you a book: introduction to african civilizations. by John Henry Clarke. his sources are white scholars!

[ladamadelcaribe]

@IMFLORIDA305 you are smart! I automatically like you! lol

[IMFLORIDA305]

@MrKra7as since they are man-eaters…they count it an honorable thing, when their fathers die, to devour them, and openly to have intercourse with their mothers and sisters. Tough luck.

[RyanTheChristian]

@MrKra7as Negroes have the lowest IQs in the world? So you've never met a redneck then? Or a teenager? Or a white boxer? Or a footballer? Or just another average white idiot? Granted, you get a lot of stupid black people. But you also get a lot of stupid white people, and Indians, and Chinese, and everyone else. Plus you also forget that we are all basically African. You, me and all the other white folk are "out of Africa". So really, your gripe is with skin colour, and that makes you... Stupid.

[MrKra7as]

@RyanTheChristian

And don't give me that we're all Africans shit I'm not speaking of Africa as a continent but of BLACK AFRICANS as a race. Plus, I'm pretty sure that Michael Jackson, Denzel Washington and Barrack Obama would all be starving to death somewhere in Rwanda or Sierra Leone if it wasn't for white Americans who brought them to this great country and taught them how to be PROPER human beings.

[bonestwig]

@MrKra7as Take your illusory superiority elsewhere, you supremacy blowhard; stormfront would be ideal. :)

*Facepalming* at all the pseudo elitists on the interwebs, no need for a dick-measuring contest on here. Get out and actually make yourself 'superior' at something besides trolling "traditional african music" videos. ;)

[RyanTheChristian]

@bonestwig Thumbs up to that!

[Sandmello80]

I believe this song is Maliaka, Naku pene malaika. Na mine ban yeze, kenya na missiyo. Nashi mona mali sinave, nigikinova mailaika. Changed to Africa.

[njeriwajudi]

what the hell yu ruined ma language.

it is malaika nakupenda malaika nami nifanyeje kijana mwenzio nashidwa na malisina we! ningekuoowa malaika

which means;

ma angel i loe yu ma angel i dont know what to do am a young person maself am at loss causei have no wealth i would have married yu ma angel.

[njeriwajudi]

if yu dont know soemthing its best to say nothing rather than say the wrong thing

[Sandmello80]

Thanks for the correct words and the translation. I am sorry if I have hurt ur feelings. It was not intentional. These were the words I got from a book and that was how I was singing this song for all these years. Thanks for the right words. And sorry once again

[njeriwajudi]

your welcome and good luck singing it correctly
