  • 01:35 Monkey!!

  • I could do without some of the footage here--a lot of catering to the image of Africans as "exotic" and primitive, when their music is in fact extremely complicated and beautiful. The music however, speaks for itself! It is wonderful.

  • @priceta992 i agree. I was thinking the same thoughts. The imagery takes away from the musical aspect.

  • natural rhythm at its best !i am white but this music at its best.love it!!!!!!

  • The genuine article is Babatunde Olatunji. But this is pretty damn good. [el guero]. Lots of idiots exercising free speech here. Just stick with the music, please.

  • Cool drumming.

  • Proud to be a drummer!!!!

  • somebody need to research ijaw drums 

  • white & proud to be of african decent

  • @GLOKD great music! greetings from Greece!

  • Yo fuck racism, im white and proud of it but theres no need to be hating on our brothers across the sea! Were all human together!

  • @joe92853 true but he is right there needs to more changes

  • Every person on this Earth is from African decent, why stop there? Why not look at the Ocean and declare "I'm proud to be from there!".......

  • @mcnowski thats right!! OCEAN PRIDE!! and death to all who decend from land!! we must show those land dwellers that we are Superior!!

  • Doesnt matter what colour your skin is, we are all from Africa not just black people. Get over it.

  • Excellent!

  • Awesome! Thanks for crediting all the footage at the end. The Superman clip was a nice touch; I was going crazy trying to figure out what it was.

  • Great drumming.

  • wash your book! - old wanti proverb (don't let books be dirty) we're thinking with minds, well something miraculous might happen my minds not a book its a flower can you read a leaf? 'the book washing phase' all the tye die earth poets letters grow new chutes, feathers and the organic oat soul leaf sun be a root, feel your feet love your belly lysergic
  • Origins of Hip Hop

  • Beautiful!!! 

  • lol niggers

  • @markus0neill why don't you crawl back into your cave - crackerjack?

  • ooga booga, weeze beez cultured an' sheet

  • Yea..the little cartoon before the actual "footage" is a representation of orientalist images on the indiginous people of Africa. Im am not a big fan of the actual footage also, but that cartoon sketch...needs to go

  • nice footage but please post the original audio which surely was there on the original clips.

    Thanks!

  • omg i didnt know the old african jam session were happening in cartoons.

  • this is great.. wish it was longer

  • Comment removed

  • Those were the days

  • i dont think african drumming has changed much in the last 100 years

  • @BitchBeTrollinHard okay. and why would this be a flaw MissTrollinBad ? what I precisely love about african drums is that they make me go straight back to a virgin Africa of bush country and tribal ritual parties.. pure music of the wild in a word.

  • wow... thanks for posting

  • Original hippies? This is GREAT syncopated drumming. LOVE IT!

  • Its so primitive

  • ☼ #Libertad ♫ #Freiheit ♥ #Liberty ☺

  • @GreenGoSolar FREE-ALL! But, guess what? there is too many people on this earth. Many will die. Be mindful and aware. There are safe havens throughout the surface. Find one on your side and go there. At least to just wait it out. The sun is angry in 2012. It will be angrier in 2013.There is a great convergance of physics. Including our own consciousness. We're realizing what potential is.Many have shown us the way. There is no limit but the limits nature and we set for ourselves.

  • anything with an advert at the end is a travesty to this "footage"

  • where can i get the superman 1943 cartoon ?

  • @p0gothem0nkey Here's a short 1..KILL YOUR SELF BEAST.

  • @p0gothem0nkey first off no thats not true...and second even if it WAS theres nothing wrong with that...no one needs to stay cotched up in a big mansion sitting around watching tv n shit all day which for some reason is so common of wealthy western societies that in turn now have depression and obesity problems

    quit judging other cultures based on ur own...and really if you're TRYING to be racist...please, do a better job of it.

  • great share ..thank youu !

  • waitaminit - it's not that old. That one dude was wearing Fila's.

  • Sounds like Soulja Boy.

  • @p0gothem0nkey and what's wrong with that? at least they didn't lose their culture

  • pero q maravilllosoo como suenan esos djembes!! mag-ni-fi-co! =)

  • A lot of modern popular music in the US are the children of combining African rhythmic music and European melody and harmony music. Spirituals, Gospel, Blues, Jazz, R&B, Soul, Funk, Pop, Hip Hop, Electronic Dance Music like House and Techno and many other popular genres are all derived and influence from African music.

  • @OrlyDudeGuy European melody and harmony music? please!!!

  • @spareld whatever

  • All Natives of Earth are Black Red and Yellow. White is from the Moon..

  • Africans dont like work, but play fuckin drums and dance like monkeys of our money.

  • @Psycocat93 dude take that racist shit somewhere else...nobody cares what you think..just listen to the drumming and shut the fuck up...or just go to another video...smdh..

  • @Psycocat93 what a well informed an d intelligent comment you should teach a class many can benefit from your well informed and insightful judgment 

  • @xarif777 You come to my student, i give you adress. Vitun jenkit.

  • @Psycocat93 your money? what money do you have? secondly what the hell does me and my people need with your money (if you have any) which I think you don't

  • Drums are so loud, which is part of their charm. I like this, but being with drums in person is without compare.

  • That high pitched tinny sounding instrument; is it designed to keep time? It sounds like it's leading the tempo, and it would do a really good job of it too since it stands out from all the low toned drums.

  • proud to be of african decent...

  • @dbaile2 we all are...

  • @dbaile2 dunno africa errday dunno africa repasent all day errday dunno

  • @dbaile2 we all came from Africa <3

  • @dbaile2 every person on this planet is from African decent, thats like saying your proud to be from the Universe....

  • @dbaile2

    Descent: derivation from an ancestor; lineage; extraction.

    Decent: respectable, worthy.

  • something about drums that just turn me on.. i dont know i just feel like dancing and i could dance for hours with these beats. i love it.. wow.. thanks whoever posted

  • This is amazing! The african rhythms are so catchy, I would listen to them over and over!

  • Excellent.

  • looks like clips from old tarzan movies ...not real african drumming footage

    the heart of the music is rooted in the source AFRICA

    accept no imatations

  • Hey-relax guys/girls....Enjoy the cool African drumming

  • Awesome video of some African DRUMS #blackhistory

  • Hold it a second, I'm I supposed to believe the sound track goes with the film? Because it does not, The movie clip has nothing to do with the drumming one hears. The clip says about oldest drumming but it is not the original sound. that to me is false advertising. Let's hear the original sound not some dubbed over drumming track.

  • wow,the rhythm!! love it

  • wow - so cool :)

  • nigs. lol

  • @BitterSylence your an idiot do the world a favour and stop living

  • COOL RYTHYMS...........

  • drums link us all together.I just watched native Americans drumming.The resemblance is the same.People are all related. Skin color and certain looks are humans way of adapting to climates.

  • @mr7thDay _ I AGREE...

  • Comment removed

  • Caucasians have always had knowledge of the life, nature and technology, going back thousands of years. Stonehenge was built 4000yrs ago, which is a fuck-site more than any black Africans ever built.

    Surely this is still a matter of some debate. I'll give you that. What is NOT up for debate, however, is that the STEAM ENGINE was invented by white Europeans, as well as 99% of the rest of technology. Stick that in your primative pipe and smoke it.

  • @WizardKing78 Stonehenge was built around 4500 yrs old, at the same time Egyptians were building the Pyramids, dont even try and compare these...

    Btw 99% of tech WTF, if you said Asians had done so it wouldve sounded more realistic, considering even today everyone knows JAPAN is 10-20ys ahead of everyone in terms of tech, way ahead of any 'white euro' shithold, look around your house what percentage of tech are 'white european' considering u live in eurupe.

    You need to get out of this mindset.

  • @CyrusTheElder You need to get out of the mindset that credits black Africans with building the pyramids. Take a look at sub-Saharan Africa; I mean really.

  • @WizardKing78 I'm not praising any particular group of people, but clearly Egyptians are African, geo-politically speaking, u seem to have overtly praised Europeans, this is a backward colonial mentality, with my fair mind I gave credit to other continents as they clearly deserved.

    If you want to discuss skin colour... realise Greeks and Italians (who contributed huge amounts to Euro Civ.) are considered in the majority of cases as olive-skinned, and not white per se.

  • @CyrusTheElder The original Greeks and Romans were considerably more 'white' than their present day counterparts. Thousands of years of breeding with North Africans and middle Easterners has darkened their complexion considerably. Furthermore, whilst the builders of the pyramids were African, there can be no doubt that their building techniques were not heavily inlfuenced by the primitive, hut-dwelling negroes to the South.

  • @WizardKing78 The original Greeks may have been whiter, although Xenophon clearly considered Persians whiter than themselves. However the original Romans were clearly tanner, look at some images of Pompeii dwellers. For Romans its the flip-side they conquered barbarians from the North then became lighter skinned.

    Greek architecture was clearly influenced by Egyptian architecture, in the usage of the 'pedestal, column and capital' design. Greek thought was heavily influenced by Mesopotamian.

  • @CyrusTheElder ... And the primitive hut-dwelling negroes definitely didn't build the pyramids. Good day to you.

  • @WizardKing78 ... And the whites definitely stole & copied everything from non-whites. Good day to you too

  • @WizardKing78 wow i didnt kno your species of dumbass still exsist so let me enlighten your clearly retarded self :) egypt is in africa so are the pyramids or do i neeed to further break that down for you ? the *primitiv negros* who have been through the worst of times as a race of people and are still here today probably BUILT THE FUCKING CONTINENT YOU LIVE IN ASSHOLE because of years of slavery

    stop commenting on things your not intelligent enough :D

  • @anickiee LOL, actually Europe was not built by Negroes. If you don't know that, you really need to go back to school, that is, if you haven't been stuck in fourth grade for the past three years.

    Sure, Egypt is in Africa, but the population is not, AND NEVER HAS BEEN, of the same stock as sub-Saharan BLACK Negroes. Is that so difficult to understand? RETARD!

  • @WizardKing78 dear dipshit, so your saying slaves were shipped of to different places around the world to sit around and have a holiday or something ? nope idiot they are the foundation of every great civilisation theres nothing primitive about it,

    who gives a shit about sub-saharan crap the point is black people built the first greatest accomplishment on the planet but i dont think your raison sized nazi brain can come to terms with that. how very PRIMITIVE of you

  • @anickiee Although Egpyt is unquestionably in Africa, its inhabitants are essentially Middle-Eastern, NOT BLACK! The people depicted in ancient Egyptian art don't even look black. The idea that the pyramids were built by blacks is a risible nonsense believed by idiots.

  • @WizardKing78

    Ancient Egyptians are and were not "middle eastern". The people depicted look exactly like the black people that still live in that area. Black people have numurous different types of looks all over the continent. Ancient Egyptians look no different than modern day "Nubians", Beja, Shilluk, Somalis, Oromos, Nuer, Dinka, and others of the area, depending on which art you looking at. All evidence studied by those in the know proves this.

  • @lionzion22 Lol Why cant white folk leave Africa alone sheesh....

  • @WizardKing78

    Even the bush "pygmies" you see in this video are depicted in Egyptian artwork, even as god like figures. These people are an extreme minority on the continent (though white people love to show them on TV as in this video), which makes it even more interesting.

  • @WizardKing78 Ancient Greek art-figures painted were black as well in a certain period-more to do with artistic fashion-silhouettes-I have heard people also claiming the ancient Greeks were black as well on this basis alone.LOL

    at the time than anything else.

  • @WizardKing78 Ancient Greek art-figures painted were black as well in a certain period-more to do with artistic fashion at that time-silhouettes-I have heard people also claiming the ancient Greeks were black as well on this basis alone.LOL

  • @WizardKing78 you obviously have the European idea of Egypt in your head which are lies, and you havent seen all the art work in Egypt youve seen what the media allowed you to see and you obviously have no clue of the history of such things as Napoleon taking troups into Egypt to blow the noses and lips of many of the statues because of thier Negroid features so.....stfu

  • every time a video is posted that has at all to do with Blacks and Black culture the pussy racist who are too afraid to speak in public for fear of being ostracized loosing their job or getting their asses kicked take their fifty seconds of fame and try and profane an entire nation of people. the white controlled media has always depicted Blacks as something to detest and turn away from and people who cant reason for themselves and need Papa Media to do it, buy into it

  • @xarif777 No, it is "rap" that is degrading to black people. And the whole "gangster/drug dealer" persona.

  • @abukamoon THANK YOU!

  • @abukamoon yeah which rap and the gangsta image a promoted by white pockets, duh

  • @xarif777 That's correct. The negative black image is created by the entertainment industry, blessed by the politicians, and patronized by stupid black and white kids! Intelligent blacks need to start pointing this out.

  • Comment removed

  • @xarif777

    dude, I bet you're white!

    1) You didn't use profane correctly in this context

    2) I guarantee that the White Devil didn't make any of the native Africans in this movie do what they were doing.

    3) You're the real idiot.

    4) I think you need to find a more intelligent group of friends. Yeah. You're probably up on the Interweb complaining about the Man because that's what all your pals do.

  • @bentnail2 ok

  • Comment removed

  • @oc00011

    Ohhhhhhhhh boy. Someone needs to catch up on their satirical white comedians (like Jim Carrey).

    Funny point you bring up, though: anyone white is a racist no matter what they say.

    I call myself white and you call me a racist. Do you also call yourself an Israelite?

    These days, who cares enough to be "anti-black" or "anti-white?" Even the guys blowing themselves up are doing so because their religion is the best. I argue that "racist" is an outdated, cliched term. quote me.

  • @bentnail2

    You said white AND Israelite. RAAAACIST.

  • @oc00011

    Besides, since we're arguing about social issues for the time being, I think you sound like someone who hates white people in general.

    Believe me, Hitler didn't call himself a white devil, he was a "white supremacist."

    The bigger problem with our culture is the Internet and the lack of social contact!

    If you were face to face with me, you'd probably argue with a case and point, not your blind opinion (like I'm doing...).

  • @xarif777 oh fuck off with that white media & their "anti black" bs. these days, blacks are better accepted among other ethnic groups than whites are. music founded by blacks is the world's pop music, without exception. ways of speaking founded by blacks is now adopted all over the world by almost evry1. my 2 best friends are black & they recognize this, u shud too. think for a moment how antisemitic the world is turning again thru anti-israel propaganda etc. now That's a real issue.

  • @oc00011

    The real issue is you waging a social war over Youtube.

  • @xarif777 Thats true, but not for all whites. Stereotypes are complete shit, I'm white and I look towards a better humanity where we don't have to be this way anymore. I'm disappointed in the white stiffs that sit on that screen with that fuckin' serious face. People need to lighten up. I'm a musician and I love listening to every culture for what it has, it can only help you. Fuck racism, but people everywhere have to be willing to give up this bullshit primitive mindset.

  • @music4826 i feel you man

  • @xarif777 You are right, thank you for your post, it makes me sick the racism and the racist posts, because its cowardly and your word, pussy is even MORE appropriate

  • @xarif777 Get over it, Dude!

  • @anickiee black people did not build the pyramids. ancient egyptians were not black, and nor are modern egyptians. Do you know anything about Africa? there are many non-black people in Africa, and I'm not talking about the tiny amount living in countries like South America. There are many Arabs, Berbers, and Bedouins throughout Africa. Ancient Egyptian blood has been absorbed by Arab blood, but ancient Egyptians were not black...they were of the same stock as Yemenites, Berbers, Arabs, etc.

  • @anickiee This comment is just stupid.

  • @CyrusTheElder Egyptians are indeed African, but it is not like all Africans are the same...not all of them are even black. Look at people living throughout large regions of Africa like Berbers, Tuaregs, Bedouins, and Arabs. Do you think you are special just because you are black and may have originated from the same continent as people who built pyramidsEven though they weren't black? Africa is a really great place, but I hate whenblackpeople who don't even know abouthe place act like theyownit

  • @glorplaxy I don't disagree with your viewpoint... I was only replying to a racist bigot, who happened to spread misinformation in a prejudiced manner. You speak about the diversity of Africans yet you seem to only mention the people mentioned by Ibn Khaldun, these groups are mainly North African. I'm not saying all Africans are black, I was only saying it's wrong to defile a certain group based on the colour of their skin. Unless of course they happen to claim something which isn't theirs.

  • @WizardKing78 Lol, you dumb son of a bitch. You're too stupid and arrogant to realize the truth. Be proud of Europe, and do not lie with your Eurocentric ways.

  • I want an link to do the download please...tank´s anyway

  • @joao8397 the link is in the video information bar underneath the video

  • @joao8397 just download it in realplayer an convert it then burn it....

  • @KillaC4Mammie With the asisstance of the enlightened ones, don't forget that part.

  • @KillaC4Mammie mixing mud for the bricks with those feet is kind of building the pyramids right ?

  • @KillaC4Mammie I was just about to type the same thing myself! xD

    But wait, in the last few weeks it's been proven that Tutankhamun's DNA is 99.6% WESTERN EUROPEAN. Stick that in your ooga booga pipe and smoke it.

  • @WizardKing78 wtf do u believe that? uve obviously been cuaght up in the racist doctrine

  • @WizardKing78 No it isn't you dumbass, that shit was debunked long ago. If you seriously believe that, then you're delusional. Ancient Egypt was and always will be a Black African civilization. But at that time, Western Europeans were in the caves. watch?v=IcWdbHpUzwE

  • @TurboTurbulence22 All people have to do is google King Tut. It came out in June he died from sickle cell disease. Do racists research before they post?

  • @TurboTurbulence22 How come black Africans ended up back in caves then; or huts, which is barely any better?

  • @WizardKing78 Caucasians were in the caves back then lol, and how much do you know about Ancient Africa? Those people have always been in tune with nature, knowledge of life, the universe, and technology. But I guess I can blame the Moors for giving "Western Europeans" power that the elite have now lmao. The fall of Africa is obvious, but you don't recognize what led to it. Even the Dogon tribe still has knowledge of Ancient Egypt.

  • probably the best video on youtube!!!?!!??

  • My mind, has been blown..

  • intense shit

  • this the real roots

  • who's the author of the animation part?
