  • I love watching these clips of his trip to Africa. But do you have the full video at all?

  • MICHAEL WAS TREATED LIKE A KING EVERYWHERE IN THE WORLD! EVERYWHERE HE WENT, HE WAS A KING!

  • mj i will love u forever

  • MJ knew that he came from the great land, land of his ancestors: AFRICA!!!

  • «MJ recalls his visit in Ebony Magazine, 1992: "When we came off the plane we were greeted by a long line of African dancers. Their drums and sounds filled the air with rhythm. I was going crazy, I was screaming, "All right! They got the rhythm... This is it. This is where I come from. The origin."'» It was in Gabon Central Africa. Nobody wanted to go back school and every students was waiting MJ by dancing, singing and playing traditional musics instruments on a long line. Just watch images.

  • Awww that is my country :)

  • 0:46 that kid's dancing like, "Fuck yessss, Michael Jackson is heeerreee..."

  • Nossa, só o Michael mesmo pra causar tanta euforia.

  • MJ yr a KING!!!not only The KING of Music,but The KING of Hearts!!!We'll never stop loving You<33333333333333

  • god damn, loved all over the #$%^* planet, thats sort of a good thing

  • His first stop to Gabon was greeted with a sizable and enthusiastic reception of more than 100,000 people, some of them carrying signs that read, "Welcome Home Michael."[108] In his trip to Côte d'Ivoire, Jackson was crowned "King Sani" by a tribal chief.[108] He then thanked the dignitaries in French and English, signed official documents formalizing his kingship and sat on a golden throne while presiding over ceremonial dances.

  • he also went to ivory coast (cote divoire) that was great

  • if i am near his docter i must be holding a weapon

  • so cool.michael is the best and above everything...yea he was crowned a king there..i believe his name was King Sani.....love you michael!!!

  • Michael, My African King. I love you and miss you. RIP

  • Whats the name of that Thriller Remix at the beggining???

    Thanks

  • King of Pop, hell! More like King of the World! That man couldn't go anywhere without being recognized-not even the remote part of the earth! His music, dancing, passion, and caring reached masses all over the world, and he rubbed shoulders with heads of state everywhere! He was even good friends with Donald Trump and the Sultan of Brunei!

  • Funny how us Americans said he wasn't proud to be black (not me but I am American so.....well you know) yet he was received so warmly in Africa even when his skin was going through the vitiligo caused de-pigmentation process.But if he came to my neighborhood I would've invited him into my house for hot tea and a nice chat lol. People would ask me why and I'd say " I reward awesomeness."

  • 3:20 so cute

  • Such a wonderful video, MJ had a very great meeting in Africa, everything is so colorful, people are dancing, i mean measses of people, i mean its huge! Cool xxx

    i love you, Michael xxx

  • Micheal the God of the Earth

  • @CalgaryTalents

    that is true, he was the god of earth, his death shocked the whole world.

  • Wow that's crazy and funny!! People really loved him!! And so do I!!!

  • "This is it. This is where I come from. The origin."' Beautiful, and its truth. We all came from this beautiful land, Africa. I'm glad MJ loved our culture back home. Does anybody know if he visited Ethiopia? I couldn't tell from the footage. Thanks.

  • Their drums and sounds filled the air with rhythm. I was going crazy, I was screaming, "All right! They got the rhythm... This is it. This is where I come from. The origin."'

  • Awww hes so sweet!!! :)

  • see if the beatles or elvis or Madonna went to africa. people would have been like . who hell are you . he was global icon. yep Mama Africa Baby

  • KING MICHAEL!!!! He was loved through-out the world....<3 <3 <3

  • What a man... <3

  • Me encanto ver el cariño con el que lo recibieron los africanos, lo trataron como el Rey que era.

  • Michael Jackson was actually crowned King Of Cote' D'ivorte, all haters arguments are invalid.

  • He was OFFICIALLY ROYALTY anyway! XD

  • such a beautiful person!

    o how i miss him!

    I LOVE YOU MICHAEL R.I.P

  • im am from africa its a ver cultural excepting continent, they are very trust worthy ppl, and welcoming

  • The year i was born !

  • Tan lindo Michael..!!!

  • @yhonivel siiii qu lindo

  • They treated him like a king! Oh wait, he was..

  • MJ is from Gary Indiana :)

  • Where is MJ from originally?

  • @abbyinertia america gary indiana

  • @xXMichealJXx no originally. Like african decent.

  • R.I.P From Egypt! Africa Adores You,Michael! xx

  • Comment removed

  • xXxMJ4LIFExXx ...MJ is from West Africa, Originaly the east coast Of Ivory Coast named Krindjabo kingdom (in the region of actual Abengourou) where he was erected King on his last visit in 1992.

  • I'm glad Michael visited Africa and all, I like the fact that he, unlike other african americans, never denied his roots.

    however, i didn't like how the police were like violently restraining people, basically beating them, from going near him.

    my family come from sierra leone, i've been there three times now, and the police always treat foreigners (that is, people from the UK or USA) better than their own people, which isn't right.

  • It's a shame the popo there mistreating their own people. Of course MJ's trip to Africa got little or no coverage from American media but is that unusual? By the way not all AA's deny their roots I am and certainly don't and neither do others I know. We were all brainwashed and it's going to take a long time to undo that.

  • @truthulsetufree I totally agree with you. I am also a Black American and I don't know any others that deny their roots from Africa. As a matter of fact, I hear most Blacks say they want to know where they are from and find their people in Africa. What I do hear blacks say is that they aren't African, they are Americans because this is home for a lot of them. They aren't denying African roots. We all have roots from somewhere. America is simply our home.

  • I think he did an awsome job on this song. Better than the Bealtes. Of course, Michael can sing anything.

  • Why couldnt that be me when Micheal Kissed that child !?! lol LOVE YOU MJ <321 :)

  • the jacket with peter pan!!! love love love

  • What part of Africa is Michael actually from and What part of Africa did he visit in the video please someone tell me xx

  • Just look at that. No matter where Michael Jackson steps foot, he is shown the love. Some say math is the universal language. I say Love is. L.O.V.E.

  • michael is the shyt, and he is so proud to be black, but he is about unity and love, because we are all the same regardless of skin color, we are human beings, created in God's image. im black, but like our lovely michael, i too am color blind. i have always wanted to go to the motherland, so michael, if your in africa, im coming to see you!!! i love you.

  • all Africa (north,,south) loves you MJ Forever..

  • Thank you Kaawena. Sometimes people generalize; but we realize MJJ was not about color. He loved all races! Let's live by his example!

  • Come on people! I love MJ, I love Africa and I'm white, please don't generalise.

    We are all humans, no matter our skin colour is.

    That's why MJ fought all his life ! Don't forget about this, don't break his fight and what he has done for the world.

  • @Keawena  well said :)

  • what is that every country Michael goes to he has to run with soldiers in back of him, but it looks nice

  • Gabon is in West Africa. Michael Jackson helped all over the world. Including his motherland, Africa. Who says he hated being black? Get your facts right haters!!!!!!!

  • @esluvmjj Gabon is in central africa!

  • @esluvmjj Ohhh my gosh, im gabonese and Gabon is in Central Africa, not in West Africa. We are in the equatorial zone with Cameroon, Congo etc...

  • @esluvmjj man get your facts right ... Gabon is in central africa!

  • MJJ God is on your side!!!!!! May you rest in peace!!!!! No more hate, no more tabloids, no more hateful media! GOD Loves you Michael. You have done your job, good and faithful servant of God! Your crown is waiting for you in heaven! GOD always has the last say!!!!!!! RIP MJJ!!!!! Jesus was rejected by his own people; we shouldn't be surprised when the whole world sees MJ for who he truly was, but his homeland, USA! It is a very very sad story!!!!!

  • which part of africa was that

  • @dacostah ivory coast

  • Great generous, honest.The world has a debt with him

    Michael yesterday today tomorrow forever.

    It's all for love L.O.V.E.

  • omg!

  • this is called fannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn­nnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

  • please what country that?

  • Michael had depth to him even as a boy. I remember when he first sang with his brothers, they were great. He was a phenomenon then and he became even greater as he grew up. Michael was a genius! We his fans will always love him because we saw his heart and it was big and full of love. He never hurt anyone no matter what they did or said regarding him

    Love to my MJ family. Love to Africa!

  • Great cover

  • so lovely, Michael you will always be the best

  • Un ser humano que realmente fue un embajador de la paz de los Estados Unidos fue Michael Jackson sin embargo fue muy mal tratado y sometido al escarnio público , no mereció eso . RIP cumpliste tu misión angel

  • Gotta love how Africa received Mike Jackson. RIP to the KING

  • @AmazingWayz07 i would have been going CRAZE-A!!!! lol

  • omg!!!!

  • love to see him so happy :))))

  • the other country in Africa is Ivory Coast another French speaking country where he was crowned prince because they thought that he maybe has some origins there. Michael Liked Africa a lot. He did not reject his African roots

  • This in Africa in Gabon.Michael went there I was just a child. Gabon is in West Africa in central Africa. He came it was 12.00 something like this. The town which is Libreville (Freetown in French) was full of people moving everywhere. He threw a rose to a girl

  • Nothing changed. MJ never became a freak. he was always the same kind, loving and generous man that he always was. The media made him out to be a freak. he is NOT a freak. If you're an MJ fan, then become my friend and leave a comment on my profile! Thnks!

  • believe it or not he was really crowned a prince in there...

  • This is lovely!! Michael was proud to be black. You can see that esp at 3.20 when he gets crowned the king!! lol

  • Wow I didn't know he did this song. Cool.

  • yeah he did this song on moonwalker at the end

  • That's the kind of love MJ wanted, not the platonic one (smiling to his face and stabbing him on his back) he was the victim of an inexplicable hatred in his own country, allow me to say it. If in USA, they seem to ignore what happened to MJ, the rest of the world knows what's going on there. The US is a champion of hypocrisy, jealousy, racism blacks might know it better. I'm so amuzed how they like to talk about God when they are guilty of all the bad things.

    MJ you are on the better side RIP

  • Comment removed

  • You are so right. Since michael passed, our local newspaper never post any negative news about him. On the 1st week, 4 big pages all about michael's charities works and picture with him and children all around the world, yearly basis achievement in his career and so on. In fact, NO ONE believe those accusation and silly tabloids because its too much for a person. A fact and sad article by a journalist - Michael was wounded from head to toe. The media here have high respect to michael.

  • that is good to hear :) there's a lesson from this too!! any negative tabloids and negative news.... who cares about it? :) focus on the good; let's not focus on what we can potentially hate. hate is unreasonable.

  • Everybody talked positive when Michael Jackson passed...Except for "FOX NEWS" the WHITE POWER network. All the did was say negative BS ...and called him JACKO but then FOX turns around and praises that REDNECK BIMBO Palin! FUCK FOX NEWS! no offense to the normal educated whites that don't follow the HATRED of FOX NEWS and RUSH LIMBAUGH etc......

  • i love and miss mj sooo badd!!!!!!!

  • he was such a genuinely kind hearted soul. the world doesn't deserve him after what we did to him!!

  • THANK U '4 ALL LOV U GAVE TO US RIP KING

  • It Looks So Nice When You See Michael Jackson Running With So Much Guns Behind Him And beside Him

    MJ. Love.

  • lol 0:59 the black boy in the back grabbed the light skin girls head lmao..r.i.p mj

  • What lovely video!!

    "Welcome home Michael" is so beautiful. Really touching. He seems so happy and enthusiastic at that time.

    RIP sweet Michael.

  • He was so loving! Giving the children kisses :)

  • summer of '09 will forever be known as the summer of mourning .

    i just can't stop loving you , Michael !

  • I LOVE michael jackson with all my heart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    he is amazing and will never ever be forgotten

    r.i.p king of pop!!!!!!

  • cute

  • Yeah , you , black guys really have the rythme in your vains ...Great video , thanks for shearing !

  • not surprised the media didn't mention this.

    it looks like he had a lot of fun :)

  • Media almost never mentioned the good things about MJ - that's show bizness - they need to make some show, they need a scandal , sensentionalisme . That's all. He was such a sweet person ...

  • yeah, i agree!

  • c'est en COTE DIVOIRE !

  • Yeah, he once said that when he felt the drums and the saw the people he new he was home. He was crowned, I believe, King in waiting in a village and after his death the village petitioned the family to release his body to them so that they may give him his proper burial. Their mourning period ended on July 25.

  • That must have been really awesome for him, he seemed very happy - King Michael!

  • which song is that?

  • 'Come Together' from the HIStory album.

  • Why doesn't the media show this more? Whenever they show his fans, they always show the White and Asian crowds, like MJ didn't like Black people. I'm 15 and didn't even know that he went to Africa, let alone loved it! F THE PRESS! MJ'S THE BEST!

  • wo bro...micael jackson was a victim of a "black" man living in a white society...

  • WOW!!! I'm glad he went back home to his roots. I never seen him visit black children but now i see he's proud to be black

  • media didn't care about MJ's out reach to poor people, all they did was to make his life miserable... so sad. we love you MJ.... so much!

  • this is the shit the media dont talk about tjose mother fuckers destroy his life with all bunch of lies LOVE U MJ

  • my heart was broken...i'm crying

  • I am crying tooo

  • I am glad he showed love to the African people, Thank you Michael Jackson, we know you had so much more to give us, only God knows now.

  • MJ is the angel,king and soul of MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    29th of agust birthday of MJ and day of the MUSIC

  • wonderful...

  • LEGEND!!!!!!

  • Michael Jackson is the King! Rest in Peace Mike!

  • It was a pleasure seeing Michael being greeted with, "Welcome Home" and wrapped in the traditional garb. It looked like he had his own stool as well. Go Michael. Thanx for sharing your gift from the Creator with us.

    So many failed to find the special gift that God gave them, and opted instead to take your kindness for weakness. You're now safe. RIP

    Those words were heartwarming the first time I visited Africa as well.

  • Im sorry Michael, Im sorry we all failed you..

    bless

  • thats what makes me cry

    they fact that he made us happy but we failed him. It pains me and hurts my heart - i wish he could see how we loved him

  • Wow! MJ ...Nwanne m o! U do well o! Well done...

  • WOW. Michael Jackson's version of Come Together KILLS Paul McCartney's DEAD. I never heard this version before! Thanks for including it in your video!

  • That's exactly what I thought the first time I heard Michael's cover on the History album.

  • Hows the world going to forget you MJ??

  • i love you michael.. i miss you so much it hurts...

  • He was a really good man, and helped a lot of people and children... Everyone loved him and still do. Rest in peace !

  • bill bray would be able to tell some secrets!!!!!

  • He died in 2005 and even if he were here, he wouldn't do that, he always remained very loyal to Michael.

  • who you meant?

  • @Acidrainisapain he didnt die in 2005

  • @tamagotchiboy002 Yes he did, he died in November 2005.

  • @Acidrainisapain he died in june 2009

  • @ukeman500 I'm not talking about Michael, I'm talking about Bill Bray, Michael's former bodyguard.

  • @Acidrainisapain how did he die

  • @tamagotchiboy002 He was 80 years old, so I presume of some age-related illness.

  • @Acidrainisapain he was not 80 he was 50

  • @brb1006 We weren't talking about Michael. Please, make the effort of reading the comments before making the effort of replying.

  • @Acidrainisapain sorry

  • @tamagotchiboy002  Heart attack

  • @Acidrainisapain No michael jackson died June 25th 2009

  • @tamagotchiboy002 Are you stupid? Or are you just playing devils advocate? The conversation wasn't about MJ. It was about his former bodyguard Bill Bray.

  • I love how chaotic it gets everywhere he goes :) Everyone loved him.

    R.I.P. Michael Jackson.

  • coolio! :D

  • r.i.p from..ethiopia addis ababa

    M.J we loves u and we will never forget u

    peace and love

  • Thanks for posting this. What a wonderful way to see Michael when he is comfortable. Just truly moved by the God in him. God Bless You Michael!!

  • thanks for this! I love Michael!He's a Gift!!!

  • Great video! Michael is loved by many all over the world. I really enjoyed watching the dances some of the African's were doing. I would love to visit there someday.

  • He is so awesome! I wish I could have been there with him.

  • I don't believe the hype. I love Michael so much and him being viewed as a pedophile couldn't be farther from the truth. I also think it's a total fabrication that people say Michael didn't want to be black when he visits Africa more than any other place/country (besides Japan). The sign says it all, "Welcome Home Michael". People are so blinded from the truth because they don't know Michael at all. I love you so much Michael.

  • I love Michael Jackson

  • What the hell happened at 1:00 that light skinned girl gets attacked by someone grabbing her hair. take another look. No wonder the video cuts at that point.

  • she not light skinned my friend she's a white ass girl

  • OK well her white ass got handed to her.

  • hahhahah oke hahahahhahah she deserve's it hahaaha

  • Michael is such a loving wonderful person. He represents all that is good in the world. Everyone freaks out when he is with children but he does not think of children in a sexual way. He sees nothing wrong with sleeping with them (as in sleeping, not having sex) because it is an act of love but nobody else can understand that because in today's society you can't show love without it being assumed that you have sexual intentions.

    I love Michael :)

  • i agree with you.

  • I agree with u, I can't say for sure he was innocent of all his accusations, but I always believed he was innocent. I think that he had a quality about him that made it so easy for people to take advantage of him. I hope that Michael knew Jesus Christ as his Lord and Saviour, so that he may now finally rest in peace. The last few years of his life was filled with so much suffering and hardships. A human heart can only take so much hurt, his heart had enough. Hope to see u in heaven Mike RIP

  • MJ converted to Islam prior to his death... The fact of the matter is that it really doesn't matter what ones beliefs are that makes a difference after leaving earth... It's ones actions! MJ has fed millions; brought hope, joy and love to millions more! He also knocked down walls and built bridges between ALL races, creeds, cultures and ages! He embodied the very element of the Christ conciousness! Only a very few has come close to BEing so Christlike! He has his sequenced wings and peace now!
