Fulani Girls Singing - 1

[Romarinho89]

they consider themself african so they african their neighbours consider them african so they african ,

[laranjais123]

so beautiful! i love the clothes

[sandyleeder]

@laranjais123 They have only one set of clothes, so the girls take turns and share the clothes.

Mostly the clothes consist of a single sheet of clotyh.

[purebrownsugar77]

And America is always showing the AFRICAN People as poor, destitute,uncivilized, and needing somebody to send food and clothes, they need to show the AFRICANS that are rich, too!

[pinkbarbieR]

I am from Niger and fulani!!! I am so in love with that song!!!

[manohman17]

arent they suppose to be light skin

[Zirious23]

Whoever posted a comment about Africans being of European origin is totally wrong. Europeans came from Africans. I DID my research and studies, I don't know from where u got your lies, I don't know who deceived you, but it's a fact that you were wrong and you need to go back to school or the library and do your research.

[forevermorphingari]

haha,anyone peep the little one at the end glaring at the camera?lol cute.

[ASacredSpirit]

0:26 the cutest little girl!

[rictagirl]

Call and response!

[SIKTN]

Sounds lovely, *bless*

[90sraisedme]

It's gettting annoying seeing the same racist white trash flooding so many African related threads with outdated white supremist Eurocentric Hamatic theories on idigenous Africans origins...Do you losers get off by this stuff or is some one paying you?

[tryanjohnson]

@90sraisedme What do you see as being false? Do you believe there is ANY admixture of races?

[KanzerSkud]

@90sraisedme The Fulani people have a very rich culture and spirituality comparable to Celts. I think white suprematist should respect them as they respect the celtic culture....

Race of the mind and of the soul is more important than race of the body.... And the Fulanis have a very beautiful soul....

[90sraisedme]

i read those the same studies and although i'm skeptical on the finding thinking they were exaggerated it said only 8% of the Fula tested had Euroasian genes and it was very low/igsignificant....the other 92% were pure West African...that's as about as African as it gets.

[Rockstafeller]

@90sraisedme well they form their own racial bloc at best, they are not Negroid

[KanzerSkud]

@90sraisedme something interesting is that the fulani people say they come from the east and that white skin is very revered (it was before white and arab colonization)

[90sraisedme]

they don't look Caucasian to me

[90sraisedme]

cute kids

[kphilj]

I love their little expressions to each other... Kids are the same the world over.

[Zeaky0arteest]

Awesome comment :-D

[annahpanna]

i love this , especially the little girl on the left haha

[Deltaboy333]

lol yep i 2nd that.

[soulpower50]

what part of niger are they from?

[sandyleeder]

They are from Guecheme Niger, which is in the Dongon Deutchi Arondisement, not too far from Sokoto, which accross the border in Nigeria.

[BlackOnyx77]

Although I dont understand what they are saying, hearing the spirit in their voice, and seeing their smiles speak wonders...Ive never heard of Fulani before tonigh but I see I have lots to learn..thanks for sharing

[ebraco30]

Is this in Niger, you said? Wooow! West Africans have a lot in common. I'm from The Gambia and we have Fulas there. Infact, my wife is Fula.

The ancestry of Fulas still remains esoteric. It's tempting to agree that they have Arab blood because they look very light-skinned with long hair. God knows best.

My wife has very long hair, very fair skin, and speaks Fulani as her first language. But I still categorise Fulas as purely African.

[soulpower50]

Guecheme is a hausa region though, i had a high school friend who's family was from Guecheme. Myself, i'm poulo NIger who grew up in Niamey but my family is from Birno, the Dosso region. So i don't fully understand them but i get some of what they are saying.

[Microlithic]

ebraco30, the Fulas are probably the descendants of various pastoral groups who lived in North Africa between 10, 000 - 5,000 years ago. During this period, 'Caucasian' North Africans were intermingling with various 'black' African people who lived in North Africa. When the Sahara became a desert 6,000 years ago, the Fulas took refuge in West Africa. It is also possible that the Fulas are just an ancient intermediate group encompassing both 'Caucasian' and 'black' African variations.

[arronnov]

Your wrong! African people are very diverse. We look like everybody that's because everybody comes from that first African women and man. The base and root of humanity is African people. The facial features skin tones changes and run wild and give you this diversity.

[DeathsFavorite1]

@Microlithic

stop trying to put us in a white category we are not and will never be white.

just because we have many different features from what you are use to seeing does not mean we are mixed. Its called African REMEMBER IT.

[Cheesin331]

If anything, it would seem that Fulani groups are mostly Sub-Saharan with some Berber or Arab admixture, and not so much the other way around. Genetics and population clusters show that, while there is a "Eurasian" component, it is dwarfed by the "Sub-Saharan" component. However, this might just mean that the original population was small relative to the amount of "blacks" they mingled with. I believe the second theory is also possible.

[Cheesin331]

If, the first theory occured, then the initial population of "Caucasions" was virtually absorbed into a larger "Black" group or groups. This is based on genetic information that shows some Eurasion component, but a vastly greater Subsaharan component. Either way the Fulani still form their own little cluster away from everyone else in Sub-saharan africa as well as North Africans. Why that is, I don't know.

[Quiteness]

@ebraco30

The fulas I know say they are mixed with Arab. But its possible that's only because they are an Islamic people. All Islamic peoples that can will claim some Arab ancestry. Even in Sudan they will do this.

[phoneofdoom]

Do you know these girls personally? I'd like to contact them for this Canadian Culture Program.

[sandyleeder]

Yes I do know them. let me know more about your plans, maybe I can help.

[MBOYA22]

Perhaps you will find this strange but I am a African American who is.......... confused. Is it possible to miss something you have never seen? If you know what I mean?

[Darkness8Random]

its very possible to miss it.

its in your DNA.

I am the same and many others.

its sad we have been separated but we must make time to go back even if it is only for a short time.

[obaidkarki]

very nice 5*****

[caribbeandhal]

you are a star mr ok

[OmoOvie]

I'm loving the polyphony! Reminds me of the Bini songs I used to do as a child! I miss my country men! Naija for life!

[CerenaKyanna]

ohh sweet! i'm doing a report on the Fulani's! =)

[joyceann57]

Hello, would you mind letting me know about your report on the Fulani? I am so hungry for information since I found out they are part of my heritage along with the Yoruba in Nigeria.

[Teosjah]
