West African Folk Music

[SuperMarioAssYoshi]

gayass music



[rambadibow]

Who the fuck cares whether you're white or 21? Music has no ethnicity nor age.

[TwoTube2]

@rambadibow I know, people just want to boast about how different or unique they think they are for listening to this music. It's a little bit sad.

[tazer40]

@rambadibow u mus n'd be sober

[Evan42881]

The drumming in the beginnning reminds me of John Bonhams drum solo in Moby Dick.

[Coldscooter7]

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

[lorax121323]

Amazin'! This sounds like rock'n'roll but 100 times better.

[SHSATNewYork]

Nice work!

[SebastienLoong]

Absolutely amazing - listening to the drummer - it was quite intriguing that many drum rolls in rock and pop felt as though they came from these. What a truly love though, is the sophistication and care an African percussionist puts into one drum - it's incredible. What country are they from?

[lorax121323]

I never understood how this genre evolved into Heavy metal in 500 years.

[lorax121323]

What if...?

[T0nyParker]

No matter white or black, both have their good and bad sites..

Stay in peace brothers

[allyechols]

Using it for a lesson plan!! Awesome:)

[AstroBoii412]

MAN!! this is good but them damn inconsiderate ASS PEOPLE need to SHUT THE FUCK UPP!!!!

[SSthemagicviolin]

[Maiia]

I'm white, but this feels like home!

[PrincessAfrica3]

[DjSeptimus]

[035TheAlexa]

very nice my brothers exellent, greetings from serbia!

[035TheAlexa]

wery nice brothers, exellent, serbia...!

[Nomekiller]

I´m a black metal guitarist, and I find this inspiring. Some of the drumming in the beginning reminds me a bit of the percussion work in Sepultura - Roots bloody roots.. theres something thrilling with those "triby" damnation drums!

[Kingtunice]

@Nomekiller lol i agree. i have some crazy idea to make progressive metal with west african influences. dont know how im going to do it yet but ima try lol. and im a black guitarist aslo(black as in african-american)

[Nomekiller]

@Kingtunice Aha, well Im a black metal guitarist as in the norvegian black metal scene. ^^

Damn try it, you won´t get far by playing music thats been made a hundred times before anyway. So if you do make some african prog metal stuff I wanna hear it! ;)

[Ravengaurd6]

I love this and I'm not even human! I'm a ghost with flesh! learn my legend well!

[321Aceking]

[874Claire]

[BerigVintrange]

the Spirit of Africa! I'm white, I love this music!

[ELARROCK]

hey everybody...^ hes white!!!!

[Percussionfish]

@BerigVintrange we were all black in pasts lives! im also white from skin.

[anonymous0s0egion]

@BerigVintrange

You may be white but all of our roots lay in Africa. That is where we all come from.

[BulatGafarov]

Very Good! I like it!

[qwerly45]

yeah you say that rock n roll, rnb whatever came from blues which took some elements from west african music. I under line "some" but those elments are important, blue notes, call and response, more groovy rhythms.

[Ataylor0]

Ewe sounds bad...But i have to watch it...music tech :(

[oleishot123]

:D Nice

[writer47]

What marvelous imagination, wit, and itelligence!

[kindu2006]

this is wonderful music. i am only 21, and i this is music, none of that boom boom booom nonsense we waste our money in HMV with those artists rapping about guns & knives. peace be unto the person who uploaded this spiritual rhythms

[winterrose2008]

@kindu2006 : AMEN.

[Facemelter2000]

@kindu2006 did you really just refer to rap and hip hop as "boom boom booom" music? im not a fan of those genres, but your ignorance makes any argument preceding that statement invalid.

[Adrelinen]

@kindu2006 Single most ignorantly founded correct statment ever

I'd like to note that the entire first minute of this is ENTIRELY drumming

Dear god man, stop arguing for my opinions, I very nearly want to listen to HMV crap just to do something you wouldn't like

[ky7654321]

@kindu2006 rap is more than what you har, granted some is just about guns and knives for money, but the real rap is more

[TwoTube2]

@kindu2006 What do you want, an award for your superiority complex or your distinctly close-minded opinion on music?

[BrianJLeong]

Where the blues come from . . .

[jetsterx]

in case you don't know all your contemporary music (soul, blues, jazz, rnb, hiphop, gospel) all came from the blacks...

[somanystars123]

i love this music!

[lissame73]

beautifl sounds...

[calmaghan]

It's probably nice to hear that a young person likes your music and can appreciate it, i am only 14 and i like it very much!

I wonder what is the name of that precussion in the intro.

The big one must be a tzembe.

[Luckydiop07]

I had a jembe and a bass drum. Ibu has a talking drum. Thanks for you comments. Lucky
