- A clip of the great documentary "Throw down your heart" while Béla plays banjo with that woman Ruth, thumb piano player.
At Jinja (Uganda).
I don't own the copyright but I post it for informational use, as I think it's beautiful to see.

One good thing about music; when it hits, you feel no pain.
Emotional pain?
"Now I don't fear again"
What is amazing to me is that this woman I will never meet said these words into a camera, hundreds of miles away, and here, now, I can hear them and be comforted by them, and she will maybe never know.
Never underestimate the power of a musician. That is why politicians dont like them so much.
You said it, man.
Thank God there's still true beauty in this mad world...
AMEN
Wow, this comment is 5 years old and the world seems so much madder. But the beauty persists. This is still one of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard.
@@patternbased it unites humans. Regardless shape, height, language, ethnics..thats (i guess) the ultimate mission of music.
@@claudiocruzat8777 a noble thought indeed. thank you!
this might be the happiest song I've ever heard. you can FEEL Ruth's freedom.
your true i feel the song too
That's because it speaks the truth...Jesus IS the only answer :)
exactly, you can hear her freedom. all of it is beautiful. Wish I could meet everyone here
American's need to start having full blown jam sessions like this more often. I think we could cure alot of problems with just a daily dose of some good music and good people.
Bela just took the Banjo back home for a reunion.
Wonderful!
If you don't fall into the groove and feel this at a cellular level you are dead inside.
yes kevin
Aaaahahahah Heavy.....but true too
know what you mean, but how about a little less morbidly: "when you ... this can make you feel alive with the beauty and joy of life".
Ruth is incredible! I'm always impressed by Bella's ability to just fit in perfectly without days of prep. - Truly talented and he's so humble about it!
A heart piercingly beautiful piece of music.
Bela is absolutely loving what Ruth is doing that little solo during 1:58 and 2:06
The song is in English
sings "hallelujah Jesus is the only answer that I know"
men respond with "Jesus is the only answer"
Amen
Only master that know**
I love this song....Bela's banjo is perfect along with the thumb piano.....and the vocals are perfect....I love African music...
Such an amazing collaboration. I could listen to her sing this song over and over, and sometimes I do. :)
:) me too, over and over!!! ~ mmmm~ hallelujah its a good day~
yay humans!
This is Planetary Music right here! Thank God for more than American music.
American music isn’t even American it’s just styles taken from various cultures of the world.
Thank you for posting. This was my favorite song from the movie!
This is the musical essence of pure Africa, unspoilt rhythms and a raw earthy mix of harmony - wish i was there to hear it live! Bela not bad as an accompaniment but there were a few times when I thought he was just a bit over the top.
This is amazing
Flying with all of you in 2021! I've been called a wizard too. Ruth, you are my hero!
AT 1:02 I smiled sooooo BIG!!!! Blessings and love from Texas! Let us live in Love and love with NO fear!! Praise Jah!
I love the way they approve of what Bela is doing .
That girl was hitting it! Such an amazing music these people have and shared.
I'm watching this documentary rite now. Know that the banjo is an Afrikan instrument brought to the west by slaves. The banjo is not for just mountain and country & western music. Thanx Bela Fleck !!!!!!! (^.^)
wow i never knew that! brilliant fact
not exactly. the banjo was derived from african instruments. not invented there
Almost the entirety of popular music today comes from the mix of African and European scales, rythms and instruments.
The world need this right now.... just a vary sad place right now ALL the way around.
watched this documentary last night, the music filled my heart in ways I thought impossible.
I just saw this on Netflix, its totally worth watching the whole thing
I love the way that the africans always making happy music :3 and i am also a kalimba player
Resets my soul every time.
I mean im a heavy bluegrass fan but this is just beautiful
This is so beautiful
I have been going around for the past week singing this song, what an amazing impact!:)
WOW, WHAT A SOUND....
Fascinating Movie and that beautiful woman was incredible on her kalimba (thumb piano)...Bela of course is always Beal and always brilliant...I'm so glad he made this wonderful film...Jack Baker NYC
Only one word.......Priceless!!! , Keep it going Ruth...ur amasing ! Thnx, bless.
Bela is the man... I’ve been such a huge fan of him musically. There are few who can do what he does on that banjo.
THIS DOCUMENTARY WAS AWESOME!
The joy hit me like a brick- and kept me dazzled throughout- I loved it and reminded me of times past.
this people gathered around creating such blissful music gives me hope about humanity.
"She's a wizard." lol
Love this jam!
How could you NOT love this?!?
I was surprised with she started singing! She's beautiful!
Watched the entire documentary. I'm not surprised that this one scene has been highlighted. The singing is fantastic!
Excellent! Makes you feel warm allover!!!
I introduced my preacher friend Henry Musana to this song and he started laughing. They are from his tribe and he heard it in Indiana, USA first. Hallelujah! Jesus is the only answer that I know!
Incredible feeling...beautiful patterns...other worldly energy!
I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is medicinal....!!!
This song is absolutely magical.
No other instrumentalist comes up with such wonderful and unusual collaborations. Bela Fleck brings joy to world music.
Makes me want to tune up my thumb piano. Thanks for the post. Great tune.
Man! These guys know how to party! I wanna go and hang out with them!!! :( its so cool that they just gather around and start playing... and theyre REALLY good at it too!!! YOU GUYS RULE!! :D
The DVD is great! Bela goes from place to place hunting down banjo history and the best musicians Africa has to offer.
Dang, that was so beautiful.
Wonderful song!!
My goodness this brings such a special feeling in my heart. I'm literally tearing up! Such an amazing jam!
Beautiful, I have listened to this many times in a row in one sitting, I love it. I’m free!!!!!!
WAAAAYYY KOOOOOLLLL & incredibly AWESOME! Love You DAUGHTER of AFRIKA; DAUGHTER of ZION. Blessings & Shalom,
Ruth is a certified legend.
never gets tired of this! She's a wizard @ruth akele
The movie/documentary this is from is one of the coolest ever. More musicsl history than u have learned before, and the village drum n banjo session sounds like a grand orchestra. Loved it. Well done. Mike
Only after four years do I at last see what cultural body language there is, in every frame of this film. It tells an amazing story right infront of our eyes
A truly wonderful film. It is just brilliant. If you have the opportunity to see it, do so. You will find it time well spent. You may even be able to purchase the CD at this late date. Money well spent. I saw Bela in Vancouver at the Chan Center and I was stunned by his virtuosity. I come back to this clip every now and again just to remind myself that there is indeed harmony on this planet.
BEAUTIFUL!
Love this, makes my spirit sing even though I don’t know the words!
Saw this last night. Despite the ridiculously uncomfortable seats, it had my attention start to finish. Great filim!!!
I'm a thumb piano student. You added magic to the music with that banjo man❤
HA! Beautiful. The banjo sounded beautiful with the adungus. The banjo, an old west african instrument, combined with east african music; it's like two sister parts of africa meeting together with eachother.
I still can't believe what a man's god given talent can give him!
Awesome moves by the dude in the red shirt , Repect to you Sir.
makes me cry
One thing I note is that the banjo does derive eventually from the exact kind of harp they show here, if I remember right.
George Parkins The banjo is actually an African instrument, if you watch later in the documentary there are some stringed instruments used by another group (I think in Mali) that could be early versions of a banjo
That's what I was getting at, yes. I always heard that the banjo derived from the Kora, but it could have been a discredited theory. At any rate, it would be more correct to say that the banjo is an African-American instrument.
George Parkins If I remember correctly, that's the reason that Bela decided to make this album/documentary - he wanted to record African music and banjo playing together since the banjo comes from Africa. I don't know which instrument specifically is its predecessor but it's definitely an African instrument, you're right about that.
I got goosebumps
Epic - I come back to this every year or so.
That warrior cry was lit 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Beautiful.... The source!!!
Damn. This woman's got some soul!
this is awesome!
incredible
wow I'm so amazed, that was really inspiring!
So lovely
I love this video :-)
Ruth is an excellent musician.
At 3.35 she is in charge too! The mark of a real musician.
Truly beautiful and uplifting.
That guy was not lying when he said shes a wizard, amazing
i am in love with this video. i cried.
Wonderful! ❤
Real jam session :D
Love love love this!
I LOVE this song! so happy.
I liked the music of Uganda best in this wonderful documentary!
this is really good...bela fleck is da man
Beautiful
the Nile river gave birth to world civilization and this song does the 200,000 year history of modern man justice .
Lol pat the troll strikes again . Nice bate but I'm not a fish and your fishing for racism.
Explain yourself .Are you referencing the Sumerian empire or the bible perhaps Mesopotamia , Babylon . what are you talking about ?" The Nile river , contrary to what you may believe, is not the Tigris and the Euphrates. " Beliefs are subjective . Facts on the other hand are not. This is why I love facts . It seems like a lot of your arguments come from your ego. may I suggest you read ego is the enemy by Ryan Holladay . I am also going to quote Albert Einstein " the more knowledge the lesser the ego, the lesser the knowledge more the ego . " Please prove this point that you are hell bent on making.
@@oliver-ts4so what did he say
Such an amazing, amazing sound!!!!
Don't you wanna just totally join in from the very first second you hear this wonderful music?

@lyleworks There is a big boxed base m'bira (thumb piano) being shown @ 1:00 and 1:45 that the player is sitting on. I think they have it miked and EQ'ed pretty heavy.
the first bit is amazing
