Africa has three distinct areas of ceremonial performance that stand out. Kenyans give you that soft communal call and response, especially the children's singing.

@@thechangamire3495 It's 'Hebe, uSuthu!!'.'Hebe' is an eagle 🦅 and uSuthu(short for uSuthu olumabheshu ankone') was a regiment in king Cetshwayo's army.Ibheshu is loincloth and 'nkone' is a brownish colour found in nguni cattle hide which was only worn by uSuthu regiments. This brownish colour is also similar to that of an eagle.So this war cry comes from uSuthu uniform being likened to the colours of an eagle
This clip is a great inspiration! I listen to it frequently in combination with Sastanaqqam by Tinariwen before or during challenging moments to tap into killer instinct and get in the zone ! Do you know someone who can translate this clip.Important parts would be great. Thanks
@@leonard_Greatness Translation of the chant from 3:31, says How dare he dares teaing the Lions, the lions how dares he does that. ? It continues how dare he dare touching the fire🔥 , a fire that consumes everything it in its entirety , a fire🔥 that burns without extinguishing , be careful dare not. This lions and fire here is referring to the Zulu Warriors. It says dare them not.

I am so, so proud of my Zulu nation. I dont know what would I ve been if I was not a Zuluman. I so wish I lived during those times. The chanting of these slogans by amabutho make me feel so proud of my Zulu nation history. I urge the Zulu nation to preserve our heritage. " UYAYIVUBE...LA!!!!"
Lh I'm a dead man either way, there's absolutely no way in hell I'm going into battle against warriors like that & I'm sure this was a time when you'd probably be executed for desertion soooo yeah. I'll take fighting isis,, taliban any so called warriors of today before I battle: Zulu, Samoan or vikings of the past, fuck that lol
Imagine if the Springboks pull this off against New Zealand, that would be insane AmaZulu have no fear whatsoever and as the rival, if you heard these chants, you would have wetted your pants in fear
@@richardmanqele2878 I don't know how many times I replayed this video, especially at that part. Everytime I hear that part I feel a tingle down my spine! I'm glad u heard it too my brother
Well, they didn't have bows and arrows, they had effective shields and the Iklwa, assagai and knobkerrie and very good offensive tactics. For the time, the zulu were the most advanced fighting force. So one of my great great grandfather's died at islandwana at the hands of the zulu, no shame. They're amazing warriors and a very talented and advanced people. I like the zulu, very much. They're brave, strong yet tender and talented. "Bows and arrows" is the Western idea of the tribal fallacy. Zulu stick fighting, now that's sport boy! A true warriors sport born from a strong noble people
Holy crap I would be so hyped up if I were one of the chanters. I'd also be scared absolutely shitless if I was on the wrong side of the chants. They sound like one gigantic being, or like a malevolent fog, and sometimes they sound like those weird scary noises you hear at night in the wilderness. Some grade A psychological warfare. They were no dummies. If you can break their spirit before a battle, more of your people come home when it's over.
Nice analysis, I think they used a similar tactic as a lion(ibhubesi) when it roars, first the fear is transferred from the worrier to the enemy and then they attack.
Coming back from one year ago and I stand by it, impressive. Brave warriors, incredible culture and we have a great game left behind (stick fighting ;))
In all honesty, even if you were a 'modern' army in those days, hearing thousands of warriors chanting like this would make you instantly SHITE YOURSELF. You knew when you heard this, these boys are here for a fight.
The Zulus had bows and arrows but they were not allowed to use them during war they believe it was against the gods to do so, when you take someone's life in battle you must look him in the eye that's A warrior's Way of respect to your fellow human.shooting someone with a bow or gun it's a coward way! I don't think I have it in me to be a warrior but if I had to go into battle I rather do it with a spear or sword than a gun.
Hmm. I think there is evidence to suggest that a fair percentage of the Zulus had firearms albeit muskets and suchlike. Certainly more firearms than the movies portray anyway.
@@davidsimpson3113 nope, I come from Northern KwaZulu Natal and I can assure you that we had no guns AT ALL, even though a fair amount of History is shared verbally, never in my 20 years as a Zulu man have i been told stories of our warriors using Guns, the shield And Spear has been a symbol of our Tribe and still is.

If you are descendant from the slaves brought to the Americas than it's very unlikely that you'll be related to the Zulu people. You should look into the people of Angola, Northern Namibia and the like.
It's like how come or date you toched the Zulu Warriors like that? Were you drunk ? Were you drunk ? Was he drunk ? What kind of concoction was he drunk of that mock the warriors like that ?
It says " you touch the Zulus it means you must be drunk" 2nd one " Zulus are like wild fire who burn its enemies/you come against us you come against lions
@siphiwembiyela3886 Thanks! And how could I be able to find/ identify them in Zulu? Do they have specific titles such as 'Ayeza Amangwane' or 'weNkosi Yohlanga'?
Imagine 10 thousand warriors chanting at the same time in king shakas days SCARYYYY
And the rivals would have been wetting their pants in fear
@@sibusisoyoungsteezngwale8691the rivals would’ve just pulled their firearms out and blew them away. No fear at all
@@jakemorj5498 Rather die trying than do nothing
Thank God Zulus weren't bloodthirsty maniacs as their marching style and cadence was more ceremonial in nature than aimed at slaugther.
@@jakemorj5498 well not so simple in some cases, but simple in others, logistics still matters even with superior weapons

Do you know the English translation of these chants?
Is the translation to what you typed? Did he touch Zulu and get drunk? "
@@edbillings6339 A direct translation of that "chant" is "You touched Zulu?What are you drunk from/are you drunk?"
Do you happen to know what the words before it mean? It sounds to me like "Hebe!" "Uzu!" though I no doubt spelt it wrong. What do they mean?
