nice nice africa

[0NoCompassion0]

I'm currently writing a book from the perspective of a brothah enslaved to be a field nigga grasping his freedom by creating an element that causes extermination. I type in TRADITIONAL NUBIAN DRUMMING to place my mind in the correct perspective and the FIRST IMAGE that I get is that of a G.R.H.H (genetic recessive hybridized human) white bitch in INDIGENOUS garb being DEAD WRONG, looking like a crackhead 2 weeks fresh from rehab, living a lie. Such an insult to our ancestors/ancesstress's

[deicidalRuffian]

@0NoCompassion0 do you enjoy being a racist?

[0NoCompassion0]

@deicidalRuffian I enjoy being an MAN OF THE DIVINE DEEPLY HUED BLACK NATION.

[tudgemyster]

[dellboyusa123]

really? smh

[MsNani2230]

great video !!! Wonderful music I feel at home and the dancing very entertaining

[HumanRemodeling]

Very good drummers. Thank you for sharing! It helps us all, African music is so wonderful. btw, I agree, the dancer is not good. 

[rosey312]

Are you kidding me? This white chick who can't dance is the only dancer in the company? Are you kidding me?!!! She can't dance! she looks like she is having a seizure. It reminded me of the old 1940 movies when they put folks in black face and had them flailing around. There are tons of black ballet dancers with fantastic skill, but no company will hire because they claim their hips and thighs are too big. There are white dancers who can dance African style, but this chick is not one of them.

@phillyphan24 lmfao

[92Kamau]

Too willing to share!? Africa and the people of Africa are called collectivists...they aren't greedy..."I" and "my" are not apart of their diction but instead "we" and "our." They share what they know and that includes their culture it is apart of their culture to share with whom ever is accepting

[ribhavkhanduja]

the drumming is very well and they have also showed the dance

[MonifaAdebola]

that is why as Africans we will always lose.... we are too willing to share; we do not administer our knowledge, cultures and heritages...

[Daintytwinkletoes]

@MonifaAdebola We? Speak for yourself.

[lol51770]

@Daintytwinkletoes LOL me too.

[mikuruasahinarunrun]

@MonifaAdebola I agree with u 100% that is why our people are in the perils we are in today.. We teach them things then they steal it and claim it to be theirs. They are now in a position to use our own magic against us and claim it to be theirs too. It is a shame. If you do not believe me look and see who have the most dis-eases obesity etc on the planet and how we have become pimps to man-made products medicines esp. We have move away from nature and forget the suffering of our people.

[bubavoon]

@MonifaAdebola Nooo! Thats why west Africa always win! I've been to west africa, Senegal, Gambia and Mali. And god, never have i met a more including and tolerant people. Me and my friend, being from Norway were complete strangers in that society, despite that we were met with open arms, food and parties virtually everywhere we went. I LOVE that place in the world, the people of the world would benefit tremendously from taking the wisdom of the West-africans to their heart.

[kapuscinskifan]

@MonifaAdebola to an extent you're right, but i think Africans have been robbed not just of their labor (slavery), but of their culture, knowledge, etc. It's not the fact that you share your culture, it's the fact that you have been robbed for centuries of your cultural expressions. And i don't want to start a discussion. Greetings from Mexico.

[Pookizzle]

@MonifaAdebola We will never loose! Our heritage is so rich that we are so giving to share it with the world. we are beyound beautiful! What does anyone else have to share as rich as us? NO ONE! So shut up and don't sell us short. You are a shame to our people. so hush! we are not weak! and NEVER WILL BE! and NEVER HAVE BEEN!

[yagodequay]

@MonifaAdebola I'm sorry, but I dont think willingness to share is synonymous to failure, quite the opposite. Furthermore I dont see what have africans "lost" in music, and where this competition occurred.

[SuperDirtPig]

@MonifaAdebola You are not losing anything, balance will come and it will turn around. Since i got involved in a local drum circle my life is changing and it's thanks to cultures like yours that show the rest of the world that there is much more to life than shiny new rubbish that gets disguarded. Culture and heratige is such a lost hing nowadays and it is sharing of music and good times that will be the changing of many :)

[XXxFireAngelxx]

@MonifaAdebola i Know where so stupid ! And all the white people are like wow and steal our ideas

[AlexiLaiho227]

shut the fuck up i want to hear them PLAY

[Hbabii17]

thanks!

[100mufc]

awesome

[fsudrew1992]

its paying respect to african culture, thats why its called an african drum and dance ensemble not just a drum and dance ensemble, if it didnt have the word african then you might be able to say it's stealing culture but it's not.

[jctownend]

Dance and drum go together so naturally. Keep up the nice work.

[Copywriterdave]

Nottic are you another american idiot that thinks all people who live, work and are born in africa have to be black? I'm sorry but please don't post your ignorance on an international website where people who actually ARE African have to endure it. That's right, I'm African. And I'm white.

[HimeBerrii]

@Copywriterdave You'e african of european descent. your people went to africa and slaughtered millions of natives and took over....hows that for the truth?

[Junior1luv]

@Copywriterdave your not of African decent tho.sorry

maybe next lifetime

[Copywriterdave]

@Junior1luv . Damn, you people are ignorant. My parents were born in South Africa. My grandparents were born in South Africa. I'm pretty sure if you check the definition of 'decent' you'd find i fit it pretty fucking perfectly.

[GuamKomudo]

In all fairness... MOST people from Africa are black... And when you say "African" you think of someone who is from Africa, not an immagrant that moved their from Europe... Which would be you... When you say, "My Chinese friend" you're gonna think of a CHINESE guy, not a white guy that was randoml born in China. Not every American is ignorant, just like not every Chinese person knows Kung fu, and not every black person like water melon... Get over yourself

[Copywriterdave]

@GuamKomudo Not all Americans are ignorant, just you and the rest of your compatriots spouting bullshit on this page. I'm sorry, can't you read? I'm not a F#cking European, I've never lived in Europe. I can speak Xhosa, a bit of isiZulu. Until ONE of you has actually stepped foot on this continent I'm going to reserve the right to call you all dumbass, poser Americans who don't have the slightest inkling of their own heritage and history, and therefore have no right to judge MY genealogy.

[GuamKomudo]

You're the ignorant one lol xD

You're judging my whole life on a single Youtube comment and you think you know me... That's just rediculous. ANYWAY, I was just saying that it would be a common mistake for someone to assume if you're African that you're black. Just like if you're Chinese, they expect you to be Asian... Not saying ALL peope with the nationality of Chinese are Asian, but when you say Chinese, you think of a person that is naturally of that region. Just saying... >.>

[Copywriterdave]

@GuamKomudo I'm sorry if my tone and language are strong, but it's hard for a patriot to stay clam when a constant stream of Americans are telling them "You're not black, so you're not an African." What utter bullshit. Africa is a god damn geological territory, NOT A RACE. The area I come from wasn't even colonised by black people until the 1700's, only about 150 years before white people showed up.

[GuamKomudo]

You can get mad and cry all you want... It doesn't really help, and you're just making up things about me that you don't actually know. If you actually listen, I agreed with you.But since I live in the United States aparently in your mind it's impossible for an American to agree with you so you just keep sending stupid messages.

 There's a difference between the race of people of the region of Africa,and the nationality, especially in south Africa there's alot of white people,still African

[Copywriterdave]

@GuamKomudo As I've said before, please, anyone reading this, IF YOU DON'T HAVE A FORMAL EDUCATION ON THE ETYMOLOGY AND GENEOLOGY OF SOUTHERN AFRICAN, don't make idoitic statements on international websites, "like white people aren't Africans" or "If you're from Africa people assume you're black". Do you live in Africa? No? Then NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOUR OPINION. This is the fourth American I've had to put straight. This isn't even an argument! There is no debating this. Stop saying ignorant shit.

[TheRoyaldiamond]

@GuamKomudo guan am sorry to dissapoint you but most of africa are not all blacks , look at the map well, there's tunisia, lebanon, arabia and more, look it up

[christiansings2u]
