[electrocuteanna]

Stop being so racist. Besides, Africans are dramatically different than African-Americans.

[MrUbertubers]

This is real music. It is a sound passed down across hundreds of generations. Feel good about it.

[jgvalentin004]

culture is the only thing we have when stripped from everything else. we lose it and we lose who we are

[Ausiz]

@jgvalentin004 Culture is not "us". Culture is learned. Our true selves are not bound to culture nor to anything else. We are as we are.

[greekdeva7]

i love this

Africans have a very unique type of singing. I really love it. It feels like unstruments aren't really needed, just the voices.

[Ancalime78]

Back in Hungary I've been reading books about Africa all my life but what dozens of books can't describe one single song can. Thank you for this touching experience.

[PrinceNoirAmericain]

@Ancalime78

Very nice comment, i'm glad you enjoyed the song

[anitkithra]

if you are White, Black, or any other color of the rainbow - you are from Africa. WE all are. Africa is out mother

[cornbitefarm]

awsome song and video

[YukiNekoPrincess]

What's his first and last name exactly? It looks like it's Danialou Sagbohan.

[Dreadkid08]

This is great! I love traditional music no matter where its from :) Europe, Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Australia, Middle East, its all good! I'm glad I live in a time where I can listen to all kinds of music at a whim especially since I don't have money to travel to these places :(

[MarieNicole201515]

This is so beautiful !!!! Imiss Africa so...MarieNicole

[MONCADAS]

Thank you everybody (except racists) for all your comments. O love you all.

Nicolas Moncadas.

[GoddessOfGodIs]

Mother Afrika is such sacred powerful healing energy. I am honored to have an opportunity to be able to hear and experience her energy that shall never die. Love to all healing to all, elevation to all. The curse that comes from one's mouth is the curse that shall be upon one's own head. Let us continue to be thankful for Mother Afrika honor her and the many jewels she gives birth to which would be all of us. Love to all~Thank you MONCADAS for posting.

[xchemvirontranscendx]

Blessed be Africa; the birthplace of all human kind.

[KatMays379]

This is very hypnotically beautiful! Where can I find more music like this?

[ballymo85]

One thing they couldn't colonize is the rhythm. Are we still to believe Africans are savages who were enlightened by Europeans and Arabs? We are not civilized in anyway over here we are just industrialized and those are two different terms civilization can lead to industrialization not the other way around unless you want to create controlled robots to replace humans.!! Peace love from Africa!!

[luetata]

muito bom, adorei o canto.

[salam4992]

k ka kar kara karac karach karachi karach karac kara kar ka k

[MattieSongbird]

I'm from Philippines and I can't explain it but I love Africa even though I've not been there in this life....I feel love for Africa!

[codman1414]

white power

[iloveredsox7020]

@codman1414 why would you comment that on an african video?

[TheNarutofan12345]

@codman1414 does that meant to be a joke? if it was it wasn't funny.

[milfballs]

I don't think its about grammar this time bub.

Wallaaii is just trying to lay-out a valid point.

Shut up.

[emoamy19944]

bellissima

[brittb8395]

@xXxDEATHCORExXx1503 you asshole....

[saleall]

you don't need to comment if you don't know what to say.

[gsmooth745]

@xXxDEATHCORExXx1503  ...sigh

[TheNarutofan12345]

@xXxDEATHCORExXx1503 racist bastard i'm white but i'm not fucking sad-o like you who screams out rasict comments 

[TheNarutofan12345]

@xXxDEATHCORExXx1503 haha fanny licker!

[xchemvirontranscendx]

@xXxDEATHCORExXx1503 Racist asshole. I'm proud to be half black. i'm proud to be half white as well. But anyway, the human race used to all look African. The only reason white have fair skin is because of their origins from the north after they migrated from the African continent some 2.5 million years ago. By the way, there's no such thing as race either. No race gene at all. So you're technically the same race as me. Better learn to get over it.

[xXxDEATHCORExXx1503]

@xchemvirontranscendx hahahha someone is brainwashed

[FCzueriboy]

loool

[123Angel23]

[crazyweirdgal]

hey all ^^ im only 11 years old and most people would be listening to well... less traditional songs and stuff but im interested in traditional african, chinese etc. singing so i found this one of my favez <3 i hope all others enjoy as well as i did ;D

[Angrynudfo]

It doesn't matter that you're 11. That was said to impress people on your musical tastes. Don't ever let me catch you doing that again.

[mmecharlotte]

How exactly do you know she said that to impress people? I've seen children her age prefer Mozart over the mainstream trash of today. Nothing wrong with it, and I'd encourage her.

[olojulagbari]

Can he also sing in Yoruba? We love him in Nigeria.

[Kurollama]

Practised calamity in it's finest. Beautiful.

[anaminhina]

very beautiful voice, wuts the lanquage spoken.

[yemrad]

the language is Gun...it's a dialect from Benin

[Mr19721976]

c ca notre identite notre culture,merci a sagbohan.

[tonclounon]

il existe plusieur artiste en fon au benin j'aimerais les retouvés sur youtube

[Tphou]

Ebo dédé ! (mina) il est cool qd meme

[djassin99]

SAGBOHAN. LEGEND BELIEVE IT

[Wallaaii]

Cette chanson de Sagbohan D me berce le coeur, avec cette voie de genie...

[TeyknoElectro]

reminds me of lion king. 5 stars yo

[nfreak20]

nice

[5Bluenilehoney]

Every time I look at this I wish I was in Benin!

[Face2nutts]

You said in your post quantun physics...instead of quantum physics

[5Bluenilehoney]

Ok...I made a spelling mistake. But did the rest of what I wrote go over your head? I read on your page that you are not the best at spelling yourself? Stop picking on people.

[Face2nutts]

I said sorry for doing it!...jeeze...Im just trying to help! Dont get all Chris crocker on me...LOL

[Naerbu]

Bitch Please!

[Face2nutts]

Whatever....honkey!...LOL

[hger123]

WHAT'S THE NAME OF THE SONG PLEASE!!!

[Wallaaii]

"HOHO GBEDJI" which means in Fon or Ghoun language, Our History, where we're from in quantum hologram; that we need to trust it...

[Wallaaii]

" Hoho Gbedji " in FONGBE dialect means : past events in history...

[Wallaaii]

I was born in OUIDAH which is a very historic city, one of the main slave port on the west coast. The language "FON" is fondamental in the sub-region, you can discover it in many other dialects spoken on west coast, Cote d'Ivoire, Ghana, Togo and Nigeria, and even some part of Cameroon...

[gy11es]

Excusez-moi, j'ai été plusieurs fois au Bénin, j'ai même été marié avec une Béninoise, mais là je comprends même pas en quoi vous parler ! C'est du fon, du goun, du yoruba ? (en passant, j'ai jamais réussi à prononcer goun).

Ah, et oui, Sagbohan, c'est un grand !

[Wallaaii]

C'est une tres longue histoire qui date des ciecle, que trois freres venant d' Adja ont chacun choisi leur aventure...le premier est alle au centre et a etabli le Royaume de Agbomey Danhomey, le second est parti a' L'est se qui est aujourd'hui Porto-Novo (qui veut dire HOGBONOU= the New Gate,) et le troisieme est reste' a' OUIDAH, pour le verifier, les dialectes se ressemblent non seulement ca, il y des ceremonies traditionelles ou' les gens se font recour aux sages de ses tois coins du pays.

[AL3217777]

nan c pa ouidah lui il es de porto novo

[AL3217777]

tout a fait daccor ac beninchild c com si jdisait moi ke ce st les yoruba les meilleur parcek jsui yoruba.CELA DI SUI FIER Detr yoruba et fier ke sagbohan soi de mon pays car c un de nos gran chanteur et serieusement il merite detr aussi connu ke d salif keita d manu dibengo

[5Bluenilehoney]

Ouidah?

[kaayels]

heeey does anyone know what the story of this song is? like what he's singing about? i would like to use it as subject of my music assignment... wb asap:) xxx

[Wallaaii]

This song expain how Voodoo, which human came from, Voodoo is a spirit, it is the unknown realm, the infinite, that brought us here...Voodoo has been given a bad rap, where people only think as negative, but think about it, in the world of Quantun physics, there are two forces: positive and negative and you get what you think about the most...

[5Bluenilehoney]

Wow..usally none knows the link between Voudun and Quantun physics. I am impressed! congrats on your insight. Its no accident that this particular song is being sung in this location.

[Face2nutts]

I hate to do this, but thats quantum physics....sorry had to.

[5Bluenilehoney]

I am sorry I am not sure If I understand your reply...Are you asking what this music has to do with quantum physics?

[beninchild89]

carnotlino85 cè nè ps les gouns qui le Bénin. Cè une ethie comme tant d'autre au Bénin. Je rectifie ce ne st ps les meilleurs et le goun n'est pas la meileur langue. Cè comme si je disai ke le fon est la meilleur langue parceke je sui fon. Esaie de changer cette mentalité. Et jpense ke les autres gouns ne penses ps comme toi. Bénin = 1 peuple uni <3

[SmelliestAssHole]

i am from india...but i wish i was born in africa among bushes without fucking war criminals...coz africa is human motherland...bleesss africa with happiness..

[PriincessNx]

init true say lovely place africa is.. so is jamaica brap brap

[NICinYOURface]

@SmelliestAssHole

I'm so proud to be half nigerian

[SELGINO]

man i love Africa!!!!!!!!!!!

[carnotlino85]

it is a big difference between fon and GOUN. Sagbohan is singing in GOUN. GOUN is the best language in Benin. it is also the best culture in Benin. you can meet the real GOUN people only in the south-east of Benin. I am GOUN and i am very proud of it.

[chouxbb]

Et le FONGBÉ tu le mets oû carnotlino85?

[carnotlino85]

i don't know man. je ne me preoccupe pas des autres man. je sais qui je suis (GOUN), d'ou je viens( OUEME) et ou je vais . je vais peut-etre te surprendre mais je suis plus GOUN que beninois

[adams82070907]

I am destroyed by your opinion about Goun and Fon. Do you really think that it's the place to expose your xenophobia? I get hurt reading your various comments and wish you could stand for our beloved country some day.

[Wallaaii]

Fon and Goun are sisters Languages

[lagoyave]

Trop forte! tu l'as trouvé ici?! J'ai adoré sa voix, c'est super, dommage je n'ai pas eu le temps de l'acheter avant de partir, mais j'y retournerai dès que possible. C'est le premier truc que je mets dans mon sac, ce type est génial. Bye B:)

[iXKnosisi]

WOOOW! Mind blowing!!!!!! Please  more more more like this one!

[muzykaiswiat]

Great!!! I love Sagbohan Danialou...

[abakaliki]

They are very similar to the Yoruba people of Nigeria

[beninchild89]

Sisi la musik traditionnel du Bénin. Ca remet toute suite dans l'ambiance du bled ( Porto-Novo). J'ai envie de danser XD.

Sagbohan Danialou tu représente bien notre Bénin. Merci pr cette belel chanson

[tonclounon]

De rien mais je ne les trouve pas toute alaivi et autre carje me rend au benin unefoi tout les deux ans et le musik me raproche de labas heureux quelle te sert; aussi christian

[Wallaaii]

You don't dance with your mind but with your heart...Jazz, Samba, Rumba, Salsa, Cumbia and more were born out of this Afro-beat. This is everlast and everlived rythm. You can go to Benin in west Africa and learn to dance

[ballymo85]

African culture is so beautiful!!! it's almost like that of the native indians they seem alike. i think i believe those that said all cultures have their origin from Africa even the europeans not the alien europeans tho.

[tamaravel]

Cool! What language is he singing in?

[Wallaaii]

"Fon" Dialect spoken in south of Benin Republic (West Africa) one of the oldest language from the costal region to the interior...I am glad you ask this happen to be my mother tongue and I will be happy to shade some explanation if necessary...

[utbr01]

It sounds soo beautiful. Pleeeaaassee can u interpret?!

[Wallaaii]

As I mention earlier the Language is called "" FON or FONGBE' " spoken from the interior( ABOMEY or Agbomey Danhomey) to the southern part of Benin Republic, please, check on the world map the BIGHT of BENIN and you'll know the location of the so called country. I hope that answer you question. Go to

[papanzinga]

Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. The conception is pure genius... the melody, the harmony...the polylayering of the rythm

[Wallaaii]

Sagbohan D est une inspiration...

[kirbyu26]

idk y but i dont like some how =(

[marcnico]

great....god bless

[Beerwench49]

Beautiful

[carnotlino85]

je suis tres tres content de Tafe Sagbohan. C'est une fierte pour moi d'etre Porto-Novien et de retrouver enfin un clip du meilleur artiste de tout les temps sur youtube. Adjatche oni badje layee...il faut etre fils de Porto_Novo pour pouvoir rentrer dans cette chanson

[grecovolante]

Hello from greece! A beautiful song for the world colture, a piece of the world music!

Thank you!

[Wallaaii]

thanks for this historical masterpiece of the richest of all culture

[adrienneakran]

This reminds me of my childhood indeed! Very rhythmic, easy listen and dance to.You don't have to understand what the song is about to enjoy this music.

[Wallaaii]

It was brought to CUBA, Brezil, Haiti Guouadeloup et d'autres des iles caraibes par les esclaves venuent de la cote Ouest de l'Afrique, c;est histoire de la race noire...

[yohandy21]

this the same music we play on cuba

[Wallaaii]

Merci bien d'avoir poste' sur Youtube...cette musique etant la source tous les rythme du monde. Du Benin vers les Amerique par les esclaves, d'ou' la naissance dela salsa de Cuba, Cumbia de Colomie sama Ruma du Brezil...Voodou is the sound of God ...je vous presente toutes mes gratitudes

[ALOWONU]

La culture ancestrale de la côte ouest-africaine (Ghana-Togo-Bénin-Nigeria) est marquée profondement par le Vodoun... J´aurais beaucoup à dire à ce propos...

[Wallaaii]

Merci bien d'avoir poste' sur Youtube...cette musique etant la source tous les rythme du monde. Du Benin vers les Amerique par les esclaves, d'ou' la naissance dela salsa de Cuba, Cumbia de Colomie sama Ruma du Brezil...Jazz Hip Hop...Voodou is the sound of God ...je vous presente toutes mes gratitudes

[ALOWONU]

Cher Francis, ce n´est pas moi qui a posté le beau chant "African Song" mais MONCADAS, de France. Je partage votre opinion à l´égard de la musique traditionnelle du Togo-Ghana-Bénin... Ici, en Colombie, nous avons la cumbia, la salsa, le merengue (et toute la musique des populations afro-colombiennes de la Côte Pacifique)... qui ont des racines africaines très nettes (et très belles!!). Que Dieu bénisse tous les africains et africaines du monde!! Mawu ne yra wo looo!!
