[jddrums]

isn't Sabar drumming from Senegal?

[platini64]

Senegal and Gambia share the same music as we are the same people. These drummers(except one) are all from Gambia and performing at a Gambian organised event.

You know you're a professional when you can take your wig off, shake it around like a rag, and pop it right back on like nothing happened.

That was too funny when the sister was dancing and pull of her wig. She had the nerve to put it back on :-D She kept it moviing. Seeing white people doing African Dance is hilarious. What is sad we give our culture away. Next thing you know we are to African Dance/Drum class from white people . Let's keep our culture sacred. If anything the we pure rhythms is USA to save our people from the negative music!

It's a shame how white women get such praise for dancing an African dance that African women have been doing for centuries. Where is the praise for the sisters who live the music?

[OyaRevolutionary]

Why is it that the Gambians so love white women...the men dread up their hair & KKKrakkkers & have "mixed" up kids who ??? It is such a common Gambian phenomenon..ALL WHITE WOMEN WHO WANT BLACK MEN...GO 2 GAMBIA THEY SELL THEMSELVES CHEAP! LMFAO AT THESE KKKRAKKERS STIFF ASS DANCING!

@fecast It's called Sabar, after the name of the drum. It's native to Senegal and the Woloff peoples.

@mergim100 Haha, clever but as someone who does Sabar and is learning how to Krump, I can tell you they're totally and completely different. Krump is different from any foreign dances and most American dances. Sabar is very distinct among African dances as well, primarily because the drummers use one stick instead of two hands. It changed everything.
