@sonofthedestroyer I feel the girls are just so graceful - individuals and especially the quartet at 2.40. The boys add rythm as a contrepoint to the gracefull movements.Maybe in other times, the boys offer the grace in this form of African dancing?
Classic song... here in France our parents always play this song when they make a party so they remember how it was home. Salif Keita fait parti des grands.
check this shit out i live in australia, I had a house party one day, and i called it africa night i had more then 150 gues with around 80 whites australians, the best part was, no western music, only african, well guess what no one wanted to leave, they didn't undertood the words of these songs but they wouldn't stop dancing to it .... and when ever im playing african music my neighbours come to my house just to listen and learn how to dance it.... i love it africa - guinea
Really? :| are you like, bullshitting? Like... ok.. I need to calm myself down... I love this man.. like.. ok... erm... ok... how amazing it must be to have Salif as a father. My God..
musica bonita... também dança bonita... gostaria de fazer parte deste grupo de dança fantástica... acho que sou único caboverdiano que adora as suas músicas ...
apesar de nao entender nada que diz a música, deve ser uma letra agradavel...
I love this bass line too. The bass player on this piece (and the whole album "Folon ... the past") was the late Ndoumbe Ndjengue (RIP) from Cameroon. The drummer (Mokthar Samba) did a great job too.
Before I married the most beautiful woman in the world in Africa I've been to a lot of Techno parties. The rhythm of this song is reflected in many Jeff Mills tracks. Merci Saleif for enlightning the world
El verano del 2009 estuvo en Stgo. de Chile No me perdí los dos conciertos al aire libre. Música total. El extraordinario, sus músicos: magnificos, el coro ya alucinante y bellisimas. Me sumo: ¡Viva Africa!!!
Salif Keita, albino de raza negra, luchador, humanista, exiliado amante de su pueblo, Mali... pero discriminado por su familia que no quería que fuera músico y socialmente por ser albino, considerado una maldición de la que hay que mantenerse lejos!
I don't understand a single word of what is being said.....but you gotta love the spontaneous joy Africans have.....God bless Africa.....Mon Dieu que joie de vivre
ah yes Bambara , i know that this language is also spoken in Mali and Ivory coast i think and perhaps in other countries in West Africa ? i dk. Thx for answering me anyway =))
ah ! you're Malian ! there is a friend of mine who has been in Mali for about 2 months and plans to stay till February , he loves it very much there ! Tu parles français ? =))
@allstar451 "Tekere" means "applauses", and "clap your hands" is "tekere foh". In any case, as you can guess from the video, it is a very cheerful song. Nothing deep, really! :-)
Thanks for sharing this beautiful video, don't understand a word their saying but it feels good ... & makes me want to dance ♥ and smile ♥ and float somewhere amidst the percussion :-)
Why do all boost alot. we just share points of view.I know Afriktoday feels he is a God in Economics,but you should not go down that path.Keep ur point of view ruling,then we the readers feel more better,learn more and see diffrent points of views which all have real elements of correctness.Indeed,AFRICA IS THE SOURCE OF ALL THAT AFRIKTODAY IS MENTIONING,ISREAL ALSO,THE ANCIENT JEWS ARE BLACKS,EVEN JESUS,BUT WE HAVE MANIPULATED INFORMATION TO JUSTIFY SLAVERY. Peace to humanity
Calm down estorpai or you might catch a stroke before the ancestors call you to their side!
You are mixing everything together and the intellectual muddle that you extirpate make no sense. It ain't about trying to be smart but to understand the foundations that must be established to make things better for the people. Before curing a disease, you must first of all find the "virus"! Our virus is not the white evil man! Such a person doesn't exist!
The African people need to eat first, drink proper water and live in descent conditions before engaging in their spiritual and cultural upheaval. Those process actually go hand in hand. Don't expect the world to suddently admit the race of the ancient egyptian or the origin of the bible out of pure scientific approval. Ideologies rule this world and we must formulate our own ideologies that put our people at the center!
That's all. Also, I am a defender of my people, not a heinous person!
Dear Ariktoday, not all viruses causes diseases, and "the white evil man" does exist. Unfortunately for "Estorpai," trying to absolve Africa using "westernized economics" will only result in a pandemic tragedy as witnessed in the "Rwanda Genocide." Forget about Noam Chomsky or the pedantics arguments going back and forth. Africa is need of repentance and in returning to HIS CREATOR THE MOST HIGH YAH. What an amazing continent with amazing People; Nkosi sikeleli Africa, Peace and Shalom,
May the MOST HIGH YAH redeem HIS People from Africa and bring out HIS Hebrew Israelites out of Babylon to the Land promised to the Patriachs Abraham, Yisaac and Yaakob. Nkosi Sikele Li Africa, Peace and Shalom,
Bullshiet! Mankind started in Africa, civilization started in Africa, judaism had its roots in Africa! You can always move in the land of the hyksos, but we shall remain in Kmet, the Black land. We shall rebuild and wipe off the tears of the face of our women. You can move to Israel, alone!
No need for the cursing words; I'm on your side and want you to know that Yisrael of today is, was and will continue to be part of Africa. Yisrael of today is really Palestine and has nothing to do with the illegal zionist movement ravaging the land by these europeans calling themselves jews. Read and understand before "barking" at your Brother. Be blessed, Peace and Shalom,
I am not against you. Sorry for the curses. But, we have enough issues to deal with in our current continent to be worried about Israel or palestine for the matter. Anyway, God is universal and loves all. But, we must and shall rebuild ourselves now or never. Shalom indeed!
I am just tired of black people looking outside of their continent for answers ( christianity , islam or what not) instead or searching within themselves!
Searching within self will only leads to the CREATOR. HE alone can and will heal AFRICA. Our part is to search dilligently for the MOST HIGH YAH; HE will hear our cries from the land of our captivity to restore all anew, forgiving our and the sins of our forefathers, and heal the land from western oppression. Hebrew Yisrealites scattered over the world are awakening to their true identity while being emancipated from europeanized christianity and their bondage in Islam. Be blessed and Shalom,
For once, I agree with you. Black people need to tend to their own. I don't want blacks in my country any more than you want whites in Africa. Blacks belong in Africa, whites in Europe. Unfortunately, most blacks don't feel the same as me. Most blacks don't want to live among their own kind, prefering to move to countries and neighborhoods where whites are the majority. Blacks should focus on building their own nations and communities, not running from them.
I don't know what you call black or white! Race do not exist, but Nation do! The African continent has more Nations than Europe or Asia and through History they have reached greatness long before the first caveman got out of his winter hide-out! Nobody is trying to "live with you", or be with you! You are deceiving yourself and America is not a white country and has never been. Europe has more asiatics than blacks and you need an education or better, a brain transplant! Get a life idiot!
Idiot! I guess, American history started in the 18th century! Shut the fuck up! The only "people" who have constantly seek to amalgamate with others are "Europeans"! Rome was a shanty village until it contacts with carthage and later on Egypt. Europeans were self-destroying, murdering each others in the name of god until the discovery of America and Australia. The European do have one ability though: Leave a trail of death behind them! And you think I envy such a people and history? Kidding me!
I knew you are imbecile, but no to such an extent! I am looking at my house, there is no white in here, my friends, very few are your likes, my neighborhood, not very much white...etc! I don't know in which trailer park you live in, but in the real world, people are much more advanced than you are! The only people who hate themselves are "albinos recessive freak" like you. You need a bit of sun tanning to clear you mind dude! Those are my last words!
The only cannibals who ever existed were your kind: The celtic kings used to have sex with horses in order to celebrate their coronation! Great sign of superiority shiet head!
Cavemen used to kill women because they saw them as burdens( No wonder your people like to stick their dicks in others men anus!) Fagots!
HIV is another exemple of your great Republic contribution to Humanity ( ask David rockefeller and the Harriman family) They love the blacks so much they also invented Ebola! lol! FUCK U
I'll never understand what would possess otherwise intelligent whites to patronize a creature like you, pretending that you're thoughtful and well-spoken.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
In what language are you writing? What you just said make no sense at all! Maybe you are writing in Scandinavian! But, sorry I do not understand that language! Stick to English you fool.
And, not only am I more intelligent than you, I can also provide you and your family enough food and cash money for the remainder of your worthless life on this planet!
Well said Afriktoday concerning the true cannibals; Cathering of Russia is your great example of your "horse-mating" fact. Scottvska is another one of your insecured, misinformed human being as far as the sordid condition concerning humanity. Peace and Shalom,
Northern Europe? Albino Land!! The same people who swarmed into Rome and Europe around 400 AD looking for food? hahaahahahahahha! Great heritage indeed!
Your people were so advanced that they used to hijack monasteries, kills all the priests, rape the women and sell the survivors into slavery! Great civilization indeed! The Romans compared Germanics to animals, savage, ruthless, uncultured...etc! Adolf Hitler the Jew didn't come out of nowhere!
You are such an idiot, it's a pity I even waste my time trying to educate you! The Egyptian civilization "educated the Greek Ionians" and all the grecs that are worshiped today went to school in Sais ( Africa)! Pythagoras, Democritus, Plato, Socrates, Aristotle, and on and on. They have stated that in their script themselves! The Africans even brought religion to your so called Greeks! So please, suck a cock! Until the 17th century, Marie and Jesus the son were pictured "Black" as coal. Idiot!
The people who founded the Egyptian civilization were Neolithic people from the Near East. They weren't black, but if it helps you feel better about yourself, believe that they were.
The Near East only exist in your Myth! Ask Herodotus, Diodorus of silicius, Plato, Aristotle, Diogene, and many others. Ask Count constantin the volney, Champoleon and they shall tell you. Read the Egyptian books of the death also imbecile :"The Egyptian state that themselves" We came from the mountain in the South were the Gods Lay!" Ask the Ethiopians themselves who consider themselves to be the father of Egyptians. And, seek Ta-seti, the first civilization prior Egypt in Nubia! Shut up idiot
Why didn't these Near Easterners build their civilization in their land of origin first before entering the African soil?
I prefer the version of the extra terrestrial who came and educated the "idiotic" blacks and taught them how to build pyramids! hahahahhahhaha!
Man ooh man, please I can only advise you to go read my Kampf and the fake racist Hitler who wasn't even a racist ( After all he was well aware of his Ashkenazim roots)! Shut up intellectual child! I am going to start charging u !
Sumeria shiet fuck! " The black headed Men"! That's how they referred to themselves! And, they are pre-ancient Egypt! They have not built any civilization to the extent of ancient egypt beside a few mud scripts and mud wall. These nonsensical achievement have led the great european "archeologists" to state that Sumeria was where civilization started! Lol. Funnily, in 1972, an American archeologist uncovered ta-Seti in Sudan. 2000 years older than Egypt itself! Idiot!
U live in USA?ooh i see why u always fail to have an helicopter view point of the Issues.U know,the media u watch and the books u read says China is a communist dictator country,but it does not tell you that this COMMUNIST STATE IS BEATING USA IN CAPITALISM,THAT USA IS DOING BUSINESS WITH A DICTATOR AND HAVE HUGE DEFICITS FROM THESE DEALINGS.You live in a manipulated society and the information you get are twisted and thus make ur judgement equally twisted.cleanse ur language,TRAVEL,BE HUMANE
Dude, chill! I have lived in 3 continents and speak 3 languages fluently! I am African by blood and I have a better opinion of the problems than you might actually think of. Most African countries are rich enough to be self sufficient and to provide their people with more than the basic necessity of life. That is, the African leaders are some of the richest men in this world! But you can't count dictators in Forbes 500!
Everybody should take responsibility, Africans first!
And I didn't know that living in the US made me any less knowledgeable than anybody! The US is no communist, only the US government is socialist or rather fascist! But the society is firmly liberal even if government intrusion into all aspect of the social and economic life is destroying that important character! I wouldn't want to live in Spain though! I am ok here!
Do you also mean kicking out all external influence.Taking care of our problem implies control our sources of revenue as well determning our expenses.China is the cheapest business partner now,i suppose those greedy blood suckers should allow us to trade with them.
Many people analyse the situation from a simplistic and rather gutter point of view.We are talking about alot of minerals and other natural resources at stake. SHOULD we just PRIVATISE OUR REVENUES AND NATIONALISE our EXPENSES? pls
Look nobody, absolutely no one will fix our problem but ourselves. This has nothing to do with Nations or countries but rather individuals. Every person know himself better than anybody else and it is up to that individual to decide what direction to lead his life. Africa is a mess, but only African will decide where to lead their Nations. I tend to take example from the Meiji restoration in Japan as a model from which we can learn from!
The meiji led to a rascist and imperialist japan that started a lot of wars and caused the deaths of millions of people for almost 100 years. Lessons are good but they are no role models. No more Big Men!
You are simply wrong on this issue buddy. Most western Nations were influenced in someway by socialism in the early 20th century. Japan was already at war with China and Korea as far back as the 20s while the Meiji was simply an economic system of modernization. Bad leadership led to war but the economic system sprung japan into the modern world. And, when you observe other Nations, you pick the good aspect and dump the rest!
Economics 101.International trade,comparative advantage,arbritrage,tarrif,embargos,quaters.Muitlnational finance.The contro of raw materials and the distribution from cradle to dead.Free movement of factors of production,yes,but except the free movement of labour.Really, we assume we know the issues, but as i said, it is far to complex for amateurs.This and many topics can help you have a small idea about the complex nature of the issue.
Thank you for your generous advises! But I believe you fell on the wrong horse for I myself am an economist and I doubt you truly understand what you point to me as being amateurish!
Why worry about China when we have a demand at home, when the labor is cheap and the resources plentiful. The sad thing about pseudo intellectuals is that they often think in grandiose matter without regarding the needs of the demand, the people!
What are you even talking about dude? What do you define as external influences? Every nation is responsible, ultimately for its own destiny dude. Whether china is full of blood sucker doesn't change the fact that they are doing whatever it takes for their own good. Engaging in competition and development is a way for any other poor nation to survive! Africa is not one as many claim, it is diverse and by engaging in trade within the continent, we can help each others!
You are talking about arbitrage, international trade, distribution from cradle to grave! Chill out Einstein! You have to check the needs of the African Nations first buddy! Drinkable water, energy, education, healthcare, food ( African food), and more importantly safety within the confine of a secured Nation as well as limited government! By the way, all these enumerated issues can be satisfied by African themselves! Please, chill and when you
i have read ur attacks on the other people who have engaged u in this chat have an issue with upbringing.Are u really an economists?Then u are lacking in political and emperialistic economics.Read Noams Chomskys works?Well, to solve the basic problems in many African countries u need societal organisation.But what distablises Africa,who benefits from instability,has instability has to do with exploitation, it is true that Magerate Thatchers son sponsors war in Africa?well expand ur horizon.
Our sole problem is very simple: Liberty! Liberty to invent, liberty to invest, liberty to express one views, liberty to exchange...etc!And that's a problem most Nations around the world suffer from! Just kicking the evil westerners and replacing them with Africans will not change the problems of the people. We need leadership and responsible government. To be fair, the problems of Africa are no different than the problems of any other Nations. If we give our people a chance, we will succeed!
yes brother you are absolutely right i am an Indian ...............u have a very strong people in ur country who are surviving even now in this 20th Century with greatest struggle that no one can face .........we pray for our brothers in Africa ........
Dear Ariktoday, not all viruses causes diseases, and "the white evil man" does exist. Unfortunately for "Estorpai," trying to absolve Africa using "westernized economics" will only result in a pandemic tragedy as witnessed in the "Rwanda Genocide." Forget about Noam Chomsky or the pedantics arguments going back and forth. Africa is need of repentance and in returning to HIS CREATOR THE MOST HIGH YAH. What an amazing continent with an amazing People; Nkosi sikeleli Africa, Peace and Shalom,
Noam chomsky is not even an economist, he is a linguist and a geopolitical commentator! He is also a social anarchist who doesn't believe in the State as an institution.
Everybody who sells weapons and support Africans states or any states by the way, is sponsoring wars in africa and around the world. Who sponsor the US wars in afghanistan and Iraq. The problem with you is that you cannot relate geopolitical issues with Africa. It isn't even an African issue, but a global issue!
Your understanding of the issue might make u implode from too much knowledge.U sound like a real consumer of information,U relate what u have heard from the mainstream media.I receive,process info and come out with my own honest idea.And my analytical power is not the best,but it is right there too.Take it or u leave it,Africa to western leaders is a playing ground,they use stooges like u to implement their evil agenda. The victims are helpless citizens.Argue otherwise and confirm ur ignorance
Yea, you are certainly a genius from what I have red from you!
If you think that the US media is any worse than any other country's, my friend you are in deep trouble!
Africa is no playing ground buddy, it is the richest continent on earth! There are powerful interests colliding to control these resources; they finances their puppets militia through arms dealing and civil wars! But thank you for your contribution to my education.
we have to search in to ourselves,but first,those who we always turn to blame should leave our continent to us,or they should be there on our terms just as we are in theirs on their terms.If u wann a question my point of view,i will be willing to give u enough proves of how 90% of our problems are imported.From inception to date.that is just a fact,well some blacks have been suffering from the Stockholm syndrome and this is a disturbing pattern.Lets know the topic B4 we shout about it.
In which book did you read that? The first civilization was an African Nation and even the Mesopotoamians were a black people. The Sumerians referred to themselves as the "black headed Men"! That's not accidental!
Regardless, the latest archeological discovery have unfolded ta-seti, a Nubian civilization a few thousand older than ancient egypt and further more ancient than Mesopotamia. Orientalism is a frustration, the African, blacks were here first and shall remain so!
Imbecile! Skin complexion is the result of climatic adaptation fool! Race does not exist in so far as they are distinguishable types of human being as being portrayed by your type. By Nationalities do exist and I believe in Nationality. The Romans murdered and conquered Celtics, Germanic and English without distinction as much as they conquered Asia and North Africa! They knew better!
What does "distinguishable types of human being portrayed by your type" mean, Rufus? The Hutus committed genocide in less than 100 days. At least the Romans built an advanced civilization and preserved Greek science. Your people just hack up other boolies with machetes and rape indiscriminately.
Adolf Hitler was indeed a great builder of civilization wasn't he? George is a hero isn't he! Killing 1 million innocent kids for oil! Come on! Mission Accomplished Irak, afghanistan, Bosnia, financing stalin and Hitler, the fake cold war, the Iran contra and Saddam Hussein the CIA agent in 70s. The great War in Vietnam and 2 millions innocent murdered.Financing the great state of Israel, Sudan, supporting the Apartheid regime of SA, cooperation with Mugabe..ect Civilization INDEED! HAHAHAHAHHA!

Calm down estorpai or you might catch a stroke before the ancestors call you to their side!
You are mixing everything together and the intellectual muddle that you extirpate make no sense. It ain't about trying to be smart but to understand the foundations that must be established to make things better for the people. Before curing a disease, you must first of all find the "virus"! Our virus is not the white evil man! Such a person doesn't exist!

The African people need to eat first, drink proper water and live in descent conditions before engaging in their spiritual and cultural upheaval. Those process actually go hand in hand. Don't expect the world to suddently admit the race of the ancient egyptian or the origin of the bible out of pure scientific approval. Ideologies rule this world and we must formulate our own ideologies that put our people at the center!
That's all. Also, I am a defender of my people, not a heinous person!

Dear Ariktoday, not all viruses causes diseases, and "the white evil man" does exist. Unfortunately for "Estorpai," trying to absolve Africa using "westernized economics" will only result in a pandemic tragedy as witnessed in the "Rwanda Genocide." Forget about Noam Chomsky or the pedantics arguments going back and forth. Africa is need of repentance and in returning to HIS CREATOR THE MOST HIGH YAH.

Bullshiet! Mankind started in Africa, civilization started in Africa, judaism had its roots in Africa! You can always move in the land of the hyksos, but we shall remain in Kmet, the Black land. We shall rebuild and wipe off the tears of the face of our women. You can move to Israel, alone!

No need for the cursing words; I'm on your side and want you to know that Yisrael of today is, was and will continue to be part of Africa. Yisrael of today is really Palestine and has nothing to do with the illegal zionist movement ravaging the land by these europeans calling themselves jews. Read and understand before "barking" at your Brother. Be blessed, Peace and Shalom,

I am not against you. Sorry for the curses. But, we have enough issues to deal with in our current continent to be worried about Israel or palestine for the matter. Anyway, God is universal and loves all. But, we must and shall rebuild ourselves now or never. Shalom indeed!
I am just tired of black people looking outside of their continent for answers ( christianity , islam or what not) instead or searching within themselves!

Searching within self will only leads to the CREATOR. HE alone can and will heal AFRICA. Our part is to search dilligently for the MOST HIGH YAH; HE will hear our cries from the land of our captivity to restore all anew, forgiving our and the sins of our forefathers, and heal the land from western oppression. Hebrew Yisrealites scattered over the world are awakening to their true identity while being emancipated from europeanized christianity and their bondage in Islam. Be blessed and Shalom,

For once, I agree with you. Black people need to tend to their own. I don't want blacks in my country any more than you want whites in Africa. Blacks belong in Africa, whites in Europe. Unfortunately, most blacks don't feel the same as me. Most blacks don't want to live among their own kind, prefering to move to countries and neighborhoods where whites are the majority. Blacks should focus on building their own nations and communities, not running from them.

I don't know what you call black or white! Race do not exist, but Nation do! The African continent has more Nations than Europe or Asia and through History they have reached greatness long before the first caveman got out of his winter hide-out! Nobody is trying to "live with you", or be with you! You are deceiving yourself and America is not a white country and has never been.

Idiot! I guess, American history started in the 18th century! Shut the fuck up! The only "people" who have constantly seek to amalgamate with others are "Europeans"! Rome was a shanty village until it contacts with carthage and later on Egypt. Europeans were self-destroying, murdering each others in the name of god until the discovery of America and Australia.

Look nobody, absolutely no one will fix our problem but ourselves. This has nothing to do with Nations or countries but rather individuals. Every person know himself better than anybody else and it is up to that individual to decide what direction to lead his life. Africa is a mess, but only African will decide where to lead their Nations. I tend to take example from the Meiji restoration in Japan as a model from which we can learn from!

You are simply wrong on this issue buddy. Most western Nations were influenced in someway by socialism in the early 20th century. Japan was already at war with China and Korea as far back as the 20s while the Meiji was simply an economic system of modernization. Bad leadership led to war but the economic system sprung japan into the modern world. And, when you observe other Nations, you pick the good aspect and dump the rest!
