Aka Forest People, yelli and group song, 1995 recording

[bgoodwinster]

this is really cool. it's almost like listening to a beta wave. completely mellows 

[doraren]

Wow! Look at the deadly chemically -based plasics they are using. Who gave that plastic container to them? Do you think that they know what its made of. As you can see, these original people of the earth make natural tools that don't disturb the earth and excrete toxins. Boy evil can never leave purity alone.

[generalhotep]

@doraren Thats absolutely TRUE!!! Thanks my brother for pointing that out. Peace.

[doraren]

These people are peaceful and family and their god is all that is important to them. Why would someone make such a stupid comment about them hurting their children, unless its in their own mind to do. This is not their song. This song is bullish! Why don't you show them singing the song. This is an effort to show earths original people as something less than what they really are. All murderers must cease to exist on this planet.

[shesaterror]

My only fear is that some of these tribes are not up to date n humanitarian issues, meaning some are very superstitious and kill kids for not being smart enough and such and to promote that is terrifying =;/

[paitachP]

OMG This is the real human song.

[Slipjig9]

shh... you hear that? it's music, so lets enjoy it.

[demerc]

indigenous tribal societies are the only representation of sanity on Earth. so-called civilization is insanity.

[jordanpasek]

@demerc Then maybe you should stop using your computer and using written language, you know, all that stuff crazy civilization gave you.

[demerc]

@jordanpasek what a predictable,dumb response.and the worst part is you probably think your clever because of the seeming irony of me admiring these lifestyles while on my computer on youtube.first of all,i never said all technology was insanity.the internet is one of the few things i'm thankful for because it is the truth button that's allowed me to be a dot connector from information of thousands of years of society all around the world.its funny people like you are irritated by my sentiment.

[jordanpasek]

@demerc I think you misunderstand my point; I'm trying to tell you that you're an ungrateful prick, you also seem to be pretty full of yourself. Stop romanticizing these cultures you angsty fuck. And stop disregarding the fact that the Western society is the most successful society we've had yet, I doubt you or I would even be alive if it wasn't for our scientific and technological advances. So, yes, I am irritated by your angst ridden, romanticizing, blind sentiment, and for good reason.

[demerc]

@jordanpasek Ungrateful for what-Debt slavery?Police state?I have no health insurance and can't afford a so-called doctor or dentist,so what exactly am I ungrateful for?YOU are full of yourself,because you are the one who was offended by what i said.Your 'progress' is full of itself,your 'western' society is full of itself.I don't romanticize anybody.I simply said these types of people represent SANITY as close as society has come to it.We may be at a point where we can combine the best of both.

[demerc]

@jordanpasek psychology/psychiatry is the western attempt to understand/heal the mind make sense of things, from the cumulative toxic personality disorders/mentalities since mankind left tribal societies and ventured down the road of Control.

[jordanpasek]

@demerc Western society is full of it's self? Last time I checked those tribes never went to the moon or cured cancer or created a country-wide democracy, the list goes on. I'm not saying we are the perfect society, but we've come pretty damn far. If you want to go leave society to go live in the jungle and never contribute to humanity and never be remembered that's your own business. But pretty much everyone would agree that living in a house beats living in a hut, if you know what I mean.

[UbercakeNL]

@jordanpasek you are an idiot

[demerc]

@jordanpasek The moon? Space exploration is a joke. Learn how to live on Mother Earth first before you start worrying about traveling to the Moon or Mars. Cancer? Cancer is a man made disease, symbolic of 'civilization', a 21st century phenomenon.A disease of cumulative toxins from so-called technology. Most of these life saving technologies and advances in so-called science are compensations for the disasters of so-called progress.

[jordanpasek]

@demerc Holy shit, I don't even know where to begin. If you seriously think those thoughts, I don't even want to waste my time talking to an imbecile like yourself. I know it won't do either of us good. You are proof of how broken our education system is. How an enigma like yourself even came about is beyond my comprehension. I just hope you realize how much of a waste of space you are. You ought to look into furthering your education because you need it. And please don't have children,seriously

[demerc]

@jordanpasek LOL. You keep projecting your own well deserved self loathing onto me. Have fun being part of the problem. I sincerely hope you stop being deceived and wake up.

[jordanpasek]

@demerc And I sincerely hope you don't taint the gene pool with your garbage DNA. Have fun being a massive beta.

[saamohod]

@jordanpasek Thank you guys, both of you, for reincarnating the exact voices in my mind. They both seem to speak the truth, but they deeply contradict each other. Your dialog, which soon evolved into exchange of insults, is exactly what is happening inside of me.

[jordanpasek]

@saamohod I fully invite you to let your multiple personalities join in on the fun. Also, it would be incarnating, not reincarnating, just saying.

[saamohod]

@jordanpasek Yes, "incarnating". I messed up with this English language.

[TheAdrianpritcha72]

Shut about America ffs! Those of us outside your precious 50 states aren't interested! Go and listen to Beyonce or something!



[khufu65]

Farao PePi I or II of Ancient Egypt(KMT) would call this the songs of the Gods

[louisecf]

seven ku klux klan or medieval music lovers didn't like it.

joke too long to explain.

[kiliawta]

i just loved these beautifull people, these great tradition will be gone soon. what a sad world.

[kiliawta]

wow Africans are great ppl, but african leaders have and will have slave mentality for ever, look like the dirty ass gabon and nigerian dictators trying to impose sanction against the greatest nation of africa called Eritrea.

[sarchisd]

@kiliawta Most "african leaders" have been educated 'european style'.

We also shouldn't forget that europeans and arabs depopulated vast tracts of Africa by dragging the inhabitants into slavery.

So yes, there might be some 'slave mentality' in Africa, and you are right to point out that even the leaders have it, but this mentality is not 'home grown'.

[kiliawta]

@sarchisd look my brother can you see whats going on in africa, tellme whatis african comand, forget the past we are in 21 st century, if you know the symptom find the cure. you cant live by accusing the intruders all your life

africans are great ppl but dont have great leaders. look at asians they freed them selves politically, socially ,and economically from being dependent on anyone, why cant do the low life african leaders. may the good lord have mercy on africans.

[Th3newWORLDord3r]

these are people singing...and by people i mean pygmes

[canadastreetmedia]

it sounds like BagPipes a little

[anansiD]

Love this music. If you do too, you might try Zap Mamma. She learned from them by living with them growing up. Her music is a sweet fusion. God protect these wonderful people.

[icemaul]

This music, and it is music, is just awesome. I could relax so well with this music playing. So hypnotic and just pure.

[ComedyIsBack]

Incredible. Never heard anything like it.

[cosmosspring]

Hypnotic.

[elementz1986]

Wait 'til Björk samples this.

[edthewave]

@elementz1986 Wait till Björk sings this! She doesn't need to sample lol!

[Jinxnolan]

Quite extraordinary singing

.

[Jinxnolan]

Quite extraordinary.



[kikihav]

Beautiful

[Baphometxii]

Snickers.



[CrazyNative4]

[CrazyNative4]

cool

[dybbuk4640]

ypdels... all they need is lederhausen and hats w feathers

[RandomTask3000]

This is postively spellbinding. In all my years studying music, I've never heard anything quite like this.

[binzsta21]

they look like regular people but only in tribes clothing

[FrankydaFarma]

the western ears have spoken

[BedBugAcres]

Fantastic musicality.

[karenbloodz911]

funny black natives people

[babyblack98]

beautifu!!!

[Inertoxygenatom]

Awe-inspiring. I wish I could hear this in real life.

[Blueskybutterflies]

Wow. Their voices are giving me goosebumps. This is freeing. I am remembering going to Cameroon Singers and dancers when I was a girl. They were doing a gospel touring thing. It was so Cultural and amazing.

[Fabanwo]

Beautiful music

[Sharkusaf]

Please protect these people from schools, money, economy, jobs and religion. These people are beautiful and unique and the should be allowed to keep this most beautiful culture. Western Ideas ain't the best for all people. These people are more then okey.

[bakabeyond]

@Sharkusaf If you don't want these people to have these things that you probably take for granted yourself, then you'd better give up your mobile phone and all electronic goods. Do you call China "The Western World"? As a country they are having more influence on indigenous people's lives than "The West" with their open cast cobalt mines and insatiable desire for minerals. And you want to deny the indigenous people education to know their rights?

[bakabeyond]

@Sharkusaf If you don't want these people to have these things, yet still keep their culture, then you'd better give up your mobile phone and all electronic goods. Do you call China "The Western World"? As a country they are having more influence on indigenous people's lives than "The West" with their open cast cobalt mines and insatiable desire for minerals. You want to deny the indigenous people education to know their rights?

Will you protect them?

Give them the power to protect themselves.

[MrJudas666666]

@Sharkusaf so u want all these things, but u dont want these savages to have them?

[fredarik57]

wonderful chants!

[kidlat1974]

i like the music......

[Oneiricist]

Don't care what anyone says; this music is from the future.

[RasAhmose]

@Oneiricist thats how I always feel when I hear stuff like this. <3

[Afrocanuk]

3:43 = A natural masterpiece.

[Slipjig9]

The group song at the end was amazing!

[georgiannmilan]

Re school comments below: Sustainable habitation, environment, music, natural medicine & health would be excellent school subjects.

[jay1beaux]

Beautiful

[TheGorillaWhisperer]

We DID put them in schools, here in America, the schools were destroyed and our white children were dumbed down and assaulted. So yes Richard is right.

[HryMuscle]

@TheGorillaWhisperer

Stupidest comment I've ever read on YouTube.

[TheGorillaWhisperer]

@HryMuscle

right. I forgot to mention how they destroy every neighborhood they come into ontact with.

[SacredWomanAbenah]

@HryMuscle

[DTview]

Nice

[richardyingren]

i just realised ... put them in schools and you lose all this..... as with any such people. leave them well alone... yet that will no doubt be too late by now.

[paapakobe]

@richardyingren I guess the 'problem' with schools is having curriculum that has no relationship with & little use to the students, their country, culture, lifestyle and totally excludes centuries of their own knowledge, as if it means nothing. "School" usually means some formalized european colonial idea of superior, essential knowledge often taken from other cultures anyway.

[thenumlock12]

@richardyingren Very true. These kinds of people are what are keeping our world diverse.

[sernipan]

roots of the Music. Wonderful.

[AfrikanGod1]

@sernipan wwooo...no doubt

[ixtli13]

I think I remember watching a video about this family in 7th grade geography class.

[knichole0412]

What are you talking about?? There isn't even any guitar in this. Your western ears are mistaken.

[schizoidchimp]

@knichole0412 "your western ears" lmao talk about douche

[Wateramn]

stop thas not nice it sounds pretty then u talking right now shut up

[Veyro]

@knichole0412 That was obviously a joke mate, about the absurdity of someone critiquing the music of indigenous people in the manner of Simon Cowell or some other modern music critic.

[RobotFather]

Trash. The guitar is aweful. ANd the voice is a bit off.

[txirristimirristi]

earra

[yoshiyoshi0725]

awesome

[Jaeqo]

amazing
