[9993075]

WTF why did the man at the back get a bench and then just stood there like a log?

apart from that amazing im giving u a 5 out of 5

[Mayaah89]

love it I miss my country

[JoshMcRogue]

Love african dances accompanied by djembe drums! I also composed and produced a big African orchestral piece and put it up in my channel ;-)

[sabounyuma]

Who is the lead drummer?

[ourburiedtreasures]

LOVE this! x

[Coldscooter7]

Anybody know where I can get some sources for West African Music? I'm doing a partner music project on it.

[truthfulexposure]

Yes! Where music and dance originated...Mother Africa!

[michaelpluznick]

The new Michael Pluznick (MP) Eco Pro 12" and 13" djembe drums are in production now! They will be available at X8 Drums in USA or you can order in shipments of 10 drums minimum from me directly if you live somewhere else. :)

[CutieHoney13]

@Backwitavengeance It says Mali.

[june3588]

Loved the video. Thank you

[macedoine591]

Thank you

[snuju1]

I've viewed this a few times now. Just love the way these girls move, and also their singing voices. What cracks me up is the bloke who takes away the bench, then brings it back, gives it some critical scrutiny, the walks off, still looking back at it. Yaah! the dancing ladies are so lovely! Lovin the rythms too

[TheHappiHolidayz]

I love the music and dance...and I LOVE their clothes! 

[ashoka4327]

Love it!

[AjLVChi]

I LOOOVE THIS!! African Dance beautiful! This is where all of the dance moves in America and other countries, especially Hip Hop comes from....traditional .AFRICA!!!!! I LOOOVE the Djembe(in which I learned how to play in grammar schl) and the other African drums and the dancing!!!! It's soo AMAZING! I want to take African dance and plan on taking it in the future!! Plan to visit Africa one day and I'm soo excited to understand the history, beauty, struggles,&triumphs! God bless Africa!

[renrono]

Black people has always the groove in dancing. :)

[fwainseattle]

On the left is Aminata Doumbia, the best dance teacher I ever had. If you go to Bamako, study with her. You can find her, Shaka Doumbia, Harouna Sidibe and Brunlaye at the Centre Togola in the Sabalibougou district of Bamako.

[TheExplodingBit]

This is amazing. Everything from the voices to the poly-rhythms! True traditional world music humbles me every time.

[umwohoo]

coll beans. ahha nowonder they looks so happyy. they know how to DANCE!

[kolista]

that was wonderful thanks for the upload

[calicocloggers]

Danced along with this, beautiful, and I am a Mexican German....I think we all could benefit from other cultures, and I have taken African dance, and it is so good for your spine, not this crazy stuff that makes you hold your body in unnatural ways like classical dance. I do like classical dance, but I feel this is much much better for you, and variety of movement is better for all our bodies!!

[LAKOPUNJABI]

Notice how they go back and forth. One sings , then the other, and again the pattern. (at the beginning). Awesome. When they dance, they are very light on their feet.

[cingle2004jp]

Let me just get this for you, saying this is what's really cool in my soul!

[dazamaru]

my neighbors hate when I play this loud....it disturbs their equilibrium and their inclinations to do evil.......it is just somatic reverberations of their African past and it bothers them on a unconscious level.....

[krwny06]

@dazamaru lmao! their inclinations to do evil!

[michaelpluznick]

my neighbors came by to complain about my drumming but I could not hear the because the other neighbors back ho was too loud!

[7HackerH]

[jwewmys4]

[SMB1982426]

Well no demeaninig intended sincerely it looks lovely the dancing. Says, The Nigger from American. A little strange to me but benign. It also looks seductive a bit.

Yes I looked it up in the American Dictionary along with things like NEGRO, MOCHA, etc.

[97soccerdiva]

wow....cool

i hav 2 do a research paper on tht

but i guess i will enjoy it!

[hitomusic]

The djembe and jun-jun drumming pattern is fabulous. The dance movements are fantastic. The jun-jun drummer is awesome - flowing it on steady, and his "pause" is perfection.

[sharmuta155]

WOW!!!!!!

[lampshade429]

No one has ever said that black people don't know how to rock out. However, this video is awesome.

[saltysurfer77]

WHo ever said black folks dont know how to rock out? every last person in this video is having so much fun singing, drumming and dancing, it makes me very giddy and peaceful inside.

[fridaysabtu]

Please watch my video.

It's about climate change, earth catastrophe and our planet as we lives in.

Recent Earth catastrophes, it's about Earth Changes - Continental Drift: One huge continent became 2 continents,

then 5 (or 6) and then?

Beautiful women.

[hollymaria]

I would prefer to see some men dancing. Lol

[XcolombiamixX]

i like this video..! =)

[jjak700]

i always thought hip hop originated from jazz and blues

[EMR80]

Who ever wants to debate with me on the subject of music holler at me....Even the Latin music has African Roots salsa to soca music its all African.

[firstnamenavarre]

I agree. Anybody who disagrees with the fact that 95% of modern music has one foot in African rhythm and one foot in European harmonic/melodic theory doesn't know their history. Peace!

[oluwalogbon58]

and besides, your knucklheadedness STILL didnt answer my question, which part of "bitch, ho nigga" comes from Africa.. ??. moron..

[firstnamenavarre]

To say hip hop came from Africa doesn't mean that every aspect of it came from there. So the use of unnecessarily vulgar and sexist lyrics doesn't come from Africa, and idea of gangster rap (what you described, not hip hop) and resultant commercialization and marketing to middle Americans is not African. But there are certain elements that do go back.

[lovemelongtimeAA]

treu! The modern hiphop and r&b came fron different music styles and black cultures.... those vulgar and sexist things have nothing to do with africans!

[EMR80]

lol. Thats all I can say about that comment u posted to me. I was just acknowledging where the roots in Hip-hop was planted from. Now the profanity that Rap uses is some times uncalled for, plus every women is not a bitch or a hoe to me.

[dajizz88]

the drums are hypnotic. these are the origins of hip hop

[krwny06]

I love this video! The chant, the drums, the dancing is wonderful. My people my people :)

[EMR80]

Hip-Hop came from west Africa the chanting and singing.

[oluwalogbon58]

which tribe did "ho, bitch and nigger come from exactly??lol" i have heard it all now!!!

[firstnamenavarre]

exactly, stupid. that shit ain't hip hop. real hip hop has a deep and raw rhythm that has been handed down for generations, whether people know it or not. you think we got rhythm from Europe? you're confusing a modern commercialization of gangster rap for hip hop. look up a guy named flying lotus on youtube. that's real hip hop, no vulgarity, no stupid shit, just music.

[oluwalogbon58]

your mother is stupid and you come from the family stupid , stupid and you just made my point by being stupid on youtube whateveryournameis.. dumbass!! am not impressed.. we dont do hiphop in africa, its something that americans brought over and is heavily commercialised but to denegrate african music by reducing it to those terms doesnt mean anything to africans ... and hiphop did originate from jazz and blues which came from the misery of american slavery... get it right, dufus!!

[firstnamenavarre]

Don't get me wrong, and I'm not really trying to insult you. African rhythm and music is infinitely more complex and beautiful than anything you would find in America. But when rich white europeans kidnapped people from Africa, they kidnapped part of their culture as well. Most modern American music did come from slave song and dance, which was miserable, but what should we do then? get rid of all slave-derived music? that's an insult to the people who created it in hardship.

[oluwalogbon58]

well, you should have said that in the first place instead of calling my opinion stupid. i cant disagree with what you said as its true, soul/blues music derives its origin from the slaves helplessness of the slaves chanting in the fields and singing to keep their spirits up. soul and blues is much deeper than the pathetic tat served to modern youth that glorifies all the negative aspects of american urban life.. soul america still has strong aspects of african cultural influences today.

[oluwalogbon58]

correction .. i meant to type "south america".. countries like brazil which to this day still celebrates yoruba culture and speaks the language in certain parts of the country.

[JusMyNature]

this is where hip hop really came from....listen 2 da drum and breaks.....beautiful music

[oluwalogbon58]

its insulting to africans to even compare this chanting and the myriad west african singing and praise singers to jay z and little wayne and all that cynical marketing soul destroying negative non culture in america... you wong find any takers of that theory in africa.. sorry.

[shiyya]

Just beautiful... mucho sentimiento.
