  • beja language is basically the same as the language our ancestors spoke b4 the s.arabians came, mingled and gave us their language but the afar people maintain the closest identity of our ancestor and saho were afar a long time around the middle ages until they mingled heavily with highland tigray tigrinyas and their language split slightly frm afar due to north ethiopic substrate. to this day sahos and afar can undrstand each other in speech and understanding only with slight difrences

  • ART, MUSIC, CULTURE & HERITAGE IS FOR THOSE WHO ADMIRE & APPRECIATE THE BEAUTY IN MANKIND, ONLY!!!

    Those who ALREADY have "prescribed preconceived notion" are DISABLE to see & find out the beauty of anything outside the realm of their accustomed little scope.

    WELCOME TO ERITREA, THIS IS A NATION OF PEOPLE WHO APPRECIATE & ENJOY THE BEAUTY OF THEIR HERITAGE FROM ETERNITY TO ETERNITY.

  • Beautiful Hamitic culture and people.

    Hamitic Union forum

  • No Jewish in east Africa, the only Jewish were in Ethiopia(flasha )and the last group sold to Israel in 1991.and trust me they weren't even real Jewish just they went there for a better life. But sadly it wasn't, i watched a documentary film they were much much better when they were in Ethiopia,discrimination and so on.

  • @Saiid007

    where did u get ur info from man?no Arabs came to Africa as slaves in history,not defending them,Africans were slaves in Arab world,and thanks to Islam they 'd been freed and stayed there.

  • i am a INDIAN hindu maffia. respect voor these dance

  • The East Africans are the Jews of Africa - the true Jews and they were slaves to the Pharaohs - you can see this in Sudan with the ungoing war....and Chad where East African looking Africans are still viewed as servants (slaves) to the Tall, Strong mandingo looking African - because of their fairness and arab looking features they were slaves and are viewed today as slaves in Chad/Mali/Niger etc....

  • @saiid0007 What the hell are you talking about? The only Jew Blacks are the Falasha of Ethiopia, and they now live in Israel. We have our own traditions, culture, and to say that our "Arab" looking features makes us slaves? You got to be out your mind. Our features are determined by the environment.

    By the way, the Pharaohs are from East Africa. Their ancestors came up the Nile, and created the Khemetian civilization, an African civilization.

  • How weird to say Romanians and "Slaves" -- meaning Slavic -- are not white like northern Europeans. Romanians and English and Danish are much, much more alike in looks than are Eritreans and, say, Congoloese or Nigerians. You usually can't tell a Frenchman from a Russian or Romanian, but you can usually tell an Eritrean from a Nigerian. At least from what I've seen.

  • My husband and I met an Eritrean woman with her 2 kids at Disney World this year. They were so beautiful we took pics. Damn, Black people are beautiful no matter what corner of the world we come from...

  • @chgodanryanxway what all of em?! lol

  • Damn those men are BRAVE NO RASS!! They seem all smily, smiley, but I sure won't want to find trouble with them. THEY'LL SLICE MY HEAD OFF!! LOL Women are pretty, nice smile. The clothes the dudes are wearing look kool. Nice video. Thanks for sharing.

  • the womens are really beautiful and refine!!! love it!!

  • What the hell is all this nonsense with Africans disliking Africans? I thought the ignorance only existed in the United States. If you or your ancestors are African that makes you beautiful regardless of your tribe or country. Beautiful dancing I just hate the music. 

  • hate this cheap wack western music...you couldn't find something traditional???

  • Awesome video. Awesome song. Awesome sword dance. Oh and the girls are hot too. :)))

  • sexy , i think they are sexier than tigrinia

  • @lemat1000 Unfortunately, you're right. I'm Tigrinia. Very nice dancing.

  • Even though I had no clue what was being said; that was a great video; please return original this is trash.

  • This music is not the original. I know the original and is really beautiful. Someone has changed. Now it is a big shit. Destroyed the original art that was on this film. A shame!!!!!!

  • Thats gay dudes.

  • This is my favourite dance too!

  • im gonna say eritrean peeps r way better lookin then ethiopian!!!

  • love this.. Im Somali.. and you guys rock!!!!! big up my african cousins!!!!

  • hey those r Sudanese

  • I like the song that's playing, what's the name of it please?

  • This is not hidareb music.

  • There is nothing amazing about this video, remove it.

  • eritrean women are fine

  • Bejas are Cush'itic just like the Somali-cush'ites and Afar-Cush'ites, and they are not originaly from erityrea, because eritrea is a land controlled by semitic highlander crakkers from the Tigray tribe.. hence a semitic-ethiopic tribe, not Cush'itic like us Somali and Afars and bejas.. so Beja's are originaly from North-eastern-Sudan, near the border with egypt...

    all this is well documented,, so keep on dreaming you midget-ass semitic-eritrean highlander Tigray habesha semites..

  • @CushiticSomalianMale Hey what is your problem have you been dissed by a habesha Eritrean chick or something and are you actually trying that divide and conquer sh$t towards us Eritreans. We do not go to your Somalian sites and try to divide your tibes. Just chill with your Habesha diss remember do not hate just elevate and motivate Black man. Good luck to Somali people and we wish you well hope you follow suite!!!~X~!!!~O~!!!XXX!!!~Hai­lab~!!!

  • Somebody needs to tell the one guy in this video that dancing with a sword is a safety hazard. He could get into an accident.

  • lmao

  • We have done this dance since the times of Pharaohs and I doubt any accident has had occured while preforming this traditional North East African Dance :)

  • @spaceketema I love your video! Thanks for sharing.

  • @tothboy01 waking up in the morning is also a safety hazard!!!

  • @tothboy01 there are lots of safety hazards arround you. For example your mobile that can explode suddenly:-)

  • ارتريا الحبيبه واغانيها الرائعه المترعه محنه وود وعطر افريقى اصيل ؛ احبك اسمرا

    عادل الرشيد

  • We all Africans period. This is the strategy the Europeans used to divide and rule. Remember what in Rwanda. Wake up Africa.

  • Foreign outsiders, especially white outsiders always say that East African women are the most beautiful and good looking. This is because they have the features of women from the Middle East, long dark hair and a pointed nose. But their skin and body is like that of a Central or Southern African. The real end point is all the women of Africa are beautiful. It's the outside world that feels the more European you look the more attractive you are.

  • I'm Nubian from Sudan i agree with you east Africa has the longs history and most people of east Africa are max with middle eastern because when the last king die[ name taharga] Arabian came to africa .from Egypt all the way to Tanzania

  • what is the name of the music ??

  • Wow...what beautiful women...Females from The Horn are simply the finest!

  • lol, interesting music choice.........

  • boring music and beautiful people.....

  • Both these women and men look like typeical Hadareb Bedja who are spread from Nubia and Eastern Sudan to Eritrea in the Horn of Africa.

  • Beja are not nubians you idiot....nubian and beja doesnt even share any ancestory....while 90% of eritreans are desandants one way or another from the beja...and the purest beja and most original are the hidareb bani amer and they are indiginous to eritrea.

  • @sirwallaby - No - idiots are not Nubian ...learn how to read!. I didn't say they were modern Nubians.

  • This music doens not go very well with the dancing.

  • YouTube deleted the original audio to the video and unfortunately I don't have a backup of the original audio. Read the description for the video...

  • Do you know why they deleted it spaceketema?

  • I am so sorry. This WAS one of my preferred videos and now I canot have it WITH song. This really was the most STUPID action someone may had ever. Why not leave the things AS they are??? Congratulations you STUPID author.

  • hey everybody stop pointing out the obvious.

  • Why do ethiopians and eritrians only like to represent lighter tome women in their videos and all the men are dark.

  • Look up Miss Ethiopia, she is very dark and has non-stereotypical Ethiopian features, look up her pic in Google

  • yehyeh lol "she is very darkey" what is that suppose to mean, compared to what? you?

    You are black too if you from somalia or eritrea stupid ass damn, i hate people who hate slave mind motherfucker. Grow up you stupid ass, and i hope you dont say "i have light skin" that would be an insult to all black folkz

  • They don;t know what bleaching is so fuck off.

  • No idiot. The girls are from another ethinc group than the mans are. Thatswhy ask befor you talk nonsence.

  • Then please tell me which ethnic groups the men and women represent.

  • Nakfa, how can you tell what ethnic group the women are by just looking at them? To me most Eritreans except for Kunama, Nara and Rashaida look like so I fail to see how that is possible for you to tell the dancers apart.

  • b/c i know them. second, how can nara look the same as tigrinja lol, it is possible but 90% doesnt look the same. i dont know for you but for me it is easy to see that.

  • Colour of people,race where create out of illusion and fear of domination and insecure in European culture, I have never meet a really white humanbeing that look like colour of paper. among our people of north african Berber, we have some that have blue eye, but there african ingenenous people. let all come to together and save our beautiful planet and all humanbeing that inhabit in it. Let do away with greedy, race classification, we all the same human family

  • berbers are not indegenous to africa. They are recent peoples to the continent, Black africans are indegenous to the continent. Not europeans, indians, asian, arabs or berbers. It is impossible for white skin to be whites to be indegenous to africa.

  • @rotena25 um berbers are indigenous to africa lol that just basic plain common knowledge

  • @Fuzzbabby Umm negative, and who the hell told you berbers are indigenous to africa? was it white european historians? what about white boors, arabs, indians and chinese. They have been on africa for hundreds of years, does that make them indigenous?

  • @rotena25 berbers arent an indigenous community anywhere in the world except for africa

  • @Fuzzbabby Negative, first of all berbers did not give themselves the name "berber" the was given to them by European Historians, Anthropologist etc...berber is a corruption of barbarian. You have socalled berber tribes that are pitch black to pitch white. Black berber like the tauregs are indigenous to the african continent, white berbers are forigners that intermarried and mixed with the original negroid inhabitants of North africa.

  • @rotena25 lol lots tribes didnt give themselves their name or their country...who cares? Everyone on earth is a migrant from somewhere the, back migrations etc, Berber culture, ethnicity developed in africa and they are descendants of people who lived in africa since ancient egypt, you know native americans migrated from asia, however they are still indigenous to the americas.We actually do have white berbers in west africa, few but there, And berbers arent in east africa, north and west only.

  • @rotena25 Do a little research berbers are an indigenous, diverse group of africans, genetics and history support that, lol chadians male line leads to the middle east does that mean that chadians arent indigenous?

    Indigenous peoples are people, communities, and nations who claim a historical continuity and cultural affinity with societies endemic to their original territories that developed prior to exposure to the larger connected civilization..

  • @Fuzzbabby Use your commonsense, how are whites indigenous to Africa. Present day historians affirm white berbers to be migrants from asia and europe. Have you ever looked at a map of the continent of africa, North africa is right next to europe and asia. It is not very hard for europeans and asians to migrate to africa. Have you ever wondered why you see not white berbers west, central, south, and eastern africa?

  • berbers are not indegenous to africa. Blacks africans are indegenous to africa. Berber have not been in africa as long as black africans. Its scientifically impossible, many of them look exactly like white europeans. Which that is what they are europeans not africans.

  • rotena what do you know about the origins of east african ethnic groups? just because they don't typically have broad noses and big lips doesn't mean they are "white" or any less African. They are not berbers, by the way. You are getting confused with perhaps west african Fulani tribe etc.

  • I am talking about white berbers. White berbers are not biologically native to africa.

  • u crazy idiot. Barbers are africans period.

  • I am not here to argue non the less, but as I read your comment I just wanted to say, East Africans are Semitic,which they share with Arabians (Middle Easterns). That is why they look how they do. I think Africa is soo diverse that it isn't fair to call Africans black b/c they are from Africa. That is a connection used by African Americans for obvious reasons. But if you ever go to any African countries, the people are overly diverse, Africa is amazing, I don' think it is fair to say Ethiopian..

  • @PeepeeYChuchuka Yea but we as africans generally identify our race as black, whether from tanzania, ethiopia, liberia, etc. Infact those with the most issues are the coloreds in south africa, who are nothing but black folks with some euro ancestry..

  • .. is the same as Black Americans for example.

    I love Africa!

    Ciao!

  • Eritrea not to be confused with those Ethiopia !!!!.. (funny this is they look just alike!!!!)

  • it's oka, we'll get'em back soon (Eritrea) ...After we get ourselves together off course. and then we'll annex somalia.

  • hallo every body this is wedikeshi from Norway

    how are you you can hear this new song 2009 my new cd wedikeshi thanksssss clik just wedikeshi so you will hear my clip new song and you can buy cd when you hear

    Wedikeshio

  • Liarliar35 , you want facts? All people come from Africa and we all are the same people....our DNA is the same....every human being has same DNA in us...so pls if u put fact go all the way back from the beggining, and not skip wahts the most important. And for all of you that argue about religion, Believe me when i say this, WE ALL PRAY TO THE SAME GOD but we see our prayers differently as we have different dancing cultures clothes etc....

  • dnt fool urself...all africans are not the same...and we dnt have similar DNA...r u telling me i have the blood of BUSHmen and pygmies...we totally different people..we just happen 2 live in the same continent...like europeans and asians they live in the same land..it doesnt mean they are the same people...

  • you are right from what I read Koi (Bushmen) and Pygmies are extremely different from all other people. compared to them all other blacks are extremely close genetically to whites, and whites to asians. but the Koi and Pygmies are also quite different from each other genetically despite both using clicks in language. Africa, cradle of the world, holds the most diversity of all, and stereotyping here has the least validity.

  • hegemonies stop blaming white people for everything. Im Romanian' and last time i checked i was white and romanians never had any slaves or had to do anything with your grudge with english, spanish etc colonies. So pls, STOP acussing every white person for others mistakes! Im tired of this!

  • as far as i know, Romanians are not white. countries like U.K, Germany, Denmark, Netherland, U.S.A, Canada, Australia are White. Romania is a slavic nation and slaves are not white. White is not only colour. it also have facial structure. slavic nations have big head and big cheeks and are distinctive from whites

  • to me all European are white what is the different between Romanian and Germany or Denmark

  • lol...poor guy. u do have a point though

  • Ridiculous!

  • These have to be the biggest collection of the most stupid meaningless comments ever posted on Youtube, just watch the video and enjoy. You aren't that important people.

  • muito bom mesmo!!!

  • before i go here in africa we do not have these things that you guys who live in europ and north amrica have and i mean black white mix brown chines ..move on whit your lifes please

  • and the prophet mohamed pbuh was the last and only african or half african prophet..

  • hey yea i agree with you. he was african!

  • and btw, i am libyan and proud to be african arab and above all a muslem.

  • ..after few thousand of years ishmaieel whos abrham's son who is the son of and egyption slave her name was hajer and she was a servent of the egyption king .he gave her to sara the wife of abrham as a slave she gaved it to abrham as a second wife because she couldn't have children at that time later on she did tho

  • not just Egyptian she was dark skin which is Nubian woman

  • ok people i am going to give you some history facts..arabs orginly came from the horn of africa..those people imgrated to yemen and from there they destarted and mixed with the babeloz ..now in that time they were speaking intiont language that today it's what we know it as arabic

  • Allah bless you my friend thanks for tallying the true

  • sorry to interrupt your heated debate about Eritrean historians here.....but can someone list and tell me the 9 tribes of eritrea? please and thank you

  • Tigrigna, Tigre, Bilen, Saho, Rashaida, Nara, Kunama, Afar, Beja (Harendowa, Hidareb, Bani Amerr,)

  • the same tribes we have them in Sudan Eritrea was part of nubian land

  • this is shit no sound

  • Click on the link I provided to see a video with the audio.

    Cheers!!!

  • MACHALLAH :)

  • It,s amazing so beautiful I just love it so much this bring the unity of all Beja from Eretria an d Sudan together I love my people and our beautiful culture

  • Eritreans need no SELF-APPOINTED "HISTORIANS" & fiction writres to define, qualify & approve the origins of Eritrean people.

  • Wow, Too many fiction experts,,,

    Won't you keep your pointless little researches & fictions, in classrooms & leave us alone to enjoy the beauty of art, music & culture of our people,,, with your "expert" fictions "analysis"

    This is Eritrean video music & Eritreans would love to enjoy the music with out distraction from hollow-experts. Thank you.

  • looooooooooool well said LijamGerrie.

  • If people are making comments I disagree with, Its up to me to say what I feel.

    Despite this video being a wonderful example of one of our nine beautiful cultures, people seem to keep posting their political views about the horn, its culture, and history. Its up to me and others to comment against this.

    Surely you agree to this

  • So beautiful! its like seeing the ancient Egyptians in real life

  • This video reminds me of the videos I watched growing up.

  • Eritrea is very rich and blessd country. Hidareb is one of the Eritreans beautiful culture.

    Eritrea forlife!!!

  • For real

  • It's just great!The music and the dancing are the product of the people..politics and borders are something else!!!

  • nice video....and plz stop arguing...no one is ignorant..lol...let's be happy now...my children:)

  • Best video ever!

  • North east africans do not have much in the way of arab blood,it is more likely that they gave their dna and part of their culture to the arabs before the dawn of time,hence the similiarities.They are the eariler root of those cultures not the result of a later migration.

  • Who these people in this video?

  • Eritreans...people from North East Africa.

  • but there was a masmigration from south arabian saebians to eritrea thousands of years ago, thats were it is theorized the word habesha came from, from the word habeshat.

  • Habeshat theory is dismissed by many historians becaause their is evidence of Afro-Semitic languages in Africa from as far back as 3000 bc

    Truth is, the aksumites were a diverse people mixing with Jews, Sabeans, and more recently Arabs.

  • thats where the theory that Afro-Asiatic languages that are spoke in the horn, are older than that of asia

    just because of the language relations, it doesn't completely have to do with Geneology

  • True,

    But people tend to get the thoery mixed up, and try to claim that because we share genotypes with Arabians from Yemen and Saudi, that must mean the 'Habashat' came over, when history states our Kingdom expanded over beja territory and Sabean.

  • Beja, Tigre tigrigna, for sure have arab blood!

    3000 or more years ago, south arabian sabeans enter the country, they were called Habeshat, many belive that is where habesha is derived from

    other cushtic groups i am not sure

  • lol almost every cushtic group in the horn are mixed with arab...lol

  • good job!

    sirwallaby!!!

    u deserve two cookies!

    thanks for clarifying

  • eritreantigaraly i think its better not to comment on things you clearly dont have knowledge of,you really really act and speak the way ethiopian agame's do,the level of ignorance shown by u can be easily found among agame's so refrain from commenting about eritrean history because you got alot of reading to do.

  • Well sirwallaby, thanks for your concern, but i only comment on what i know, thats why i said i dont know about the other groups, because i wasn't completely sure!

    and It is easy for you to call someone an agame, even after they have explained to you, and that my friend is a sense of ignorance.

  • it would save you alot of trouble if you at least try to read about the topic you think you know so much about instead of putting those assumptions and making a fool of yourself,its rude and insulting to alot of eritrean people what you write.

  • LOL

    well that is exaclty why i said i am not sure about the other groups but the one i said i do know!

    and what else have i said that is rude and insulting, it is rude and insulting to try to make me look Ethiopian, when it is me representing Eritrea, you haven't posted any videos, nothing!

    o, tell me all the things that might seem rude to eritreans?

    please respond!

  • some of my called "history" is wrong?lol well im open for correction all you have to do is to reply,beside 15 years is not too young to read stop making escuses,age has nothing to do with it its the attitude.

  • how dare you.

    people always want to say the beautiful parts of africa are MIXED! no we are just very versitile people do not hate because we are all gorgeous in every way!

  • I'm not hating b, I'm just talking about our 9 beautiful cultures, and the origins

  • you would be more correct in saying "caucasians/arabs" carry ancient North East African blood/dna.The greeks also have Sub saharan dna and a sickle cell chromosone shared with west africans from Benin.Middle easterners have strong gene flow on the maternal[mtdna] line from SSA also,yemenites especially.

    Horner groups contributed alot of dna to europe/mdle east.I can't believe how "colonised" people are in their thinking.I'm not ethiopian or eritrean btw.

  • katievhoneychurch - you're mistaken once again. You seriously need to read Eritrean history or just stop posting comments on our videos. The oldest Semitic language in the horn of Africa and all of Sub-Saharan Africa is Tigre. It goes back some 4,000 years. Ethiopia has no pure Semitic languages. All the Semitic languages Ethiopians claim either started in Eritrea and were borrowed or are only spoken in Eritrea exclusively. Tigre, Ge'ez (fidal script too) & Tigrinya were all started in Eritrea.

  • What is this all talk on they look like this and that, Arab or Indian or this. To me, we all Africans are BLACK, and that is something that each and every African should be proud of. If not, go die for a good cause.

    -Somali brother.

  • Abshiir Hidareb.

  • Hidareb are Bejas who live in Eritrea. Bejas live on three countries; Sudan, Egypt and Eritrea.

  • They look so much like the Indians.Even the costumes look like the indian rajasthani dancers costume .

  • No, they are actually closely-related to the Ancient, pre-dynastic Egyptians. Some Beja tribes still live in South-Eastern Egypt, and are descendants of Ancient Egyptians.

  • Eritreans are so gorgeous.

  • Nevermind my question below. I found out that they're Beni Amer people--a branch of the Beja people. Fascinating culture!

  • Are these a Beja tribe? I read that they're closely related to Ancient Egyptians.

  • very close...their language tabadawi is almost the same as the first ancient egyptions before it was modified.

  • sirwallaby,

    You are correct. It's confirmed in Wikipedia. They are closely-related to the Ancient, pre-dynastic Egyptians.

  • they have nothing to w egyptians...where do u get ur info?!

  • abshir=dont worry

  • omg you are soooo confused i feel sorry for you

  • Sorry to hear that brother, we all east-africans a proud black-africans. Even Egyptians, Maroccans,Sudanis,Mauritanians aint a true arabs. Long live Eritrea and Africa.

  • AL1HABASHA...then leave Africa to Africans you confused hybrid.

    Eritreans are not Afro-Arabs, Eritreans are Cushitic North East Africans and that is it.

  • habeshenya AKA "hollow-expert" these our our people. We know our origins and we don't need you to tell us where we come from. Take your historical fictions to white people who might take u seriously or better yet, exchange your historical fictions with Ethiopians, who have turned fabricating history into a national pastime.

  • Tmack, Thank you for your compliment.

    While Eritreans express their cultural heritage in unison, with out questioning the roots, identity, integrity of ANY Eritrean ethnic group, isn't it ridiculous to see foreigners with identity crises, inferiority complex, low self-esteem & empty pride, defining, branding, certifying & preaching the origins of Eritreans with self-made fictions, as biblical truth?

    Little did these clowns know, ERITREANS NEED NO APPROVAL SEAL FROM DECEPTIVE "HISTORIANS".

  • Al1HABASH, who cares what you consider youself, just enjoy the music and shut the fuck up!

  • Layzie1988, there is no such thing as Afro-Arabs in Eritrea. The only people with Arab connection in Eritrea are the Rashaida who migrated from the Arabian Peninsula 100 years ago and only number 50,000 of the 5 million Eritrean population. But the rest are Cushitic Horn Africans.

    The people in this video are Hidareb Eritreans who are cushitic like any other Eritreans and have zero Arabian connection. So get your facts straight!

    If you are Eritrean you should know better!
