Natalie Okioga I heard from my grandmothers aunt that I’m a direct descendant of the Zulu and my father told me I’m related to the Temne from Sierra Leone
My dream is to visit the lands of my ancestors including the Zululand

You gotta love being Zulu. I'm so proud to be Zulu 😍😍😍
Thembi Promise 👌
the use of english to express your proud attitude says it all ... lol
Where can I learn to speak Zulu?
I’m so proud to have african roots and african blood in my Heart ❤️
@@leonardhlalele7134 But how would other people know how proud she is if she did not say it in English?
i always love the sound of Africans music and songs......something about their voice and music just gets me emotional and happy at the same time as well...Love FROM THE FIJI ISLANDS in the PACIFIC OCEAN

Im Ghanaian but I love South American music omg

South *African
Oh my gosh thus makes me cry. I'm so jealous.. I wish I knew my culture the way they do. Much love from America
@@satura4113 Don't spread misinformation. There are many, many cultures here. Sadly due to history, OP's family could be from any part of Africa. I'm not trying to bring down your spirits. This is a huge part of black culture and culture in general. But not necessarily Zulu culture.
I meant OP might not be Zulu. Not that this isn't Zulu
@@satura4113 Calm down. I'm just stating facts. Don't erase Wes-Africa from all this. I know what bantu means. Don't try and teach me my own culture while insulting both it and me.
@@satura4113 Dude the overwhelming amount of slaves taken during the Transatlantic Slave Trade were from West Africa. The largest Bantu groups taken were the Congolese. If the OP is from the African diaspora he/she is most likely majority West African descent. The other guy (Cutsie pie I think) was pointing that out. Btw not all sub Saharan Africans are part of the 10 lost tribes of Israel. So far the only mostly verified are the Lemba people
@@satura4113 We are also Bantus from Kenya. Our languages and cultures are close. We are not Hebrew and will never be Hebrew.
I've watched this over two hundred times and that girl who ran out at 1:57 with the traditional Zulu High stomp move gets me every time :)
Those fiiine African queens maaan. They beautiful.
My people, my roots, much love from the Bahamas!!! Love you all!! 🇧🇸🇧🇸🇿🇦🇿🇦
Africans have the sweetest nature. They are so adorable because they have not been affected by western cultures and Black Americans ways and tendencies.
From The US... Gratitude Peace and Blissings to the Mother Land... I LOVE YOU BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE... ONE DAY WE WILL MEET THE CREATOR AND DANCE IN THE MIDST OF TRUE PEACE... I WATCH THIS AND GET OVERJOYED AND OVERWHELM... LOOK AT THE ANCESTORS REBIRTH IN US ALL...LOVE YOU ALL.
Much love 😊
@@wanjikuroki2688 God Bless You Queen!!
We love you and yes we gonna meet soon
Those *TOTALLY BAD ZULU BASSES* with that *amazing chest resonance* get to me every time! Simply *magnificent!* Much love from your African-American sister in the United States! :-)
Youre a Tswana tribe. Black South Africans are the Israelites. One day it will be revealed
@@trtkpt698 No they aren't. Only tribe from Southern Africa that has credibility to being part of the 10 lost tribes of Israel are the Lemba people.
@@malikelshabazz3192 Lemba are related to the Ashkenaz. Us Zulu people have no relatives in Europe, period!
These humans are beautiful. Sometimes I can't get enough of you, Earth people.
Damn, that young lady in the Striped Dress is simply Beautiful. Africa has the most beauties in the world
I have ancestors who are the Zulu dating back hundreds of years from my grandmothers side
It makes me smile everyday and night
I´m from México, where the music is an essential part of our people. but, this music comes from the deepest place of the soul.. Love this music.. is joyfull, so expressive.. music from the soul, totally.
Feeling so proudly South African right now! When we sing our traditional songs we show off and make sure we nail them.
That's great to hear. You SHOULD feel proud! Greetings from a white friend in America!
As a UniZulu alumni 👩🎓, I’m here to tell you… there’s soooo much more where this came from ❤️
If you are having a shitty day watch this video especially the lady in the pink and navy stripes that smile and enjoyment will brighten any day.
I cry everytime I hear this song. I feel like I miss a home that I was torn away from.
Dude. Beautiful. This is how video games are our culture.
I love this! Listen to those harmonies!
I am no zulu but you tube been lieing about this video. I watch it every day i love my ancestors. This vid is on 10 million views
Imiss south Africa so much I'm not south African but congolese, but i still miss it cause i was born there and grew up there
Much love from Greece ❤️
This is amazing. I've listened to this at least 10 times in a row now. The song is intoxicating and every single member moves and sings so differently - it's just really fun to watch them. I'll be on the lookout for more...
They are truly talented.
never been to Africa but I truly love the sound and the ppl
Yer you have to come visit us. If you do come go to a gumboot dance show
I just faull in love for this great music of Africa...
From Senegal 😇🙏🏾
There is something about this music... it is as though they are conquering the stars, just by singing. I think that African choral music truly is the most alive music in the world. It makes one want to live, to thrive, to shine like the sun. Close your eyes and listen.
The best part about songs in foreign languages is that you can listen to the music without being distracted by the lyrics
Thank you so much Civ 6 for introducing us to so many cultures
Freaking amazing! Everyone here was fantastic! Much love and respect from America! Keep doing what you’re doing
Loved listening to and watching this. I wanted to be there among you all....loving to sing and dance with you
I'm from North Africa. Music from Africa makes me so happy. No instrument where needed for our for fathers just people and there voices was plenty to have party
Got chills in the first fifteen seconds. Everyone seems so fucking PUMPED to be singing this. What a wonderful group and wonderful song.
What an amazing celebration song.
Thank you for recording and sharing this.
Even though I am not a zulu I love zulu language😍😘. Please teach me zulu😁😊👌
I also don't know it though I'm black but at least I can hear a bit. We so drawn to our mother tongues in South Africa. Im Tswana. Hope you get someone to teach you! I love this song soo much
Choirs of any culture are amazing. Sing together!
As great as the music is, it's just a reflection of what's inside: Africans obviously haven't forgotten what it means to be human. They have A LOT more to teach us in the West than we could ever have to teach them!
Idk wht they saying but it’s beautiful 🥺
Pinned comment
I still get goosebumps watching this the 10th time, fully knowing what to expect.
Now I’m from Trinidad and Tobago and I don’t have the slightest clue what they’re saying but my pores raised when I saw the passion in the dance and for some reason tears ran out my eyes by the end of the video. Love this
wow wow, this just makes me miss my hometown, empangeni, I am proud Zulu man
Your people's music is one of life's greatest joys! Be a proud Zulu man!
hi could you tell me if abatwe legends involve riding ants or is that made up by Europeans?
@@shereehardin5783 It was not made up by Europeans but by Africans. The Zulus have a BaTwa story but the funny thing is we, as Zulus, are part BaTwa or BaNdwa or baNdiya or BaZwa (I am a Zwane - Twa and Nwe = Gadi). Anyway, my parents grew up with those stories being told. Now our culture is dying, in favour of one-ism and democracy. More like demon-cracy!
Love from Gabon 🇬🇦 ❤️❤️❤️.
Zulus are such beautiful people
Much Love and Respect from Barbados!!!
Is there any word which describe the african shouting? I'm very interested in the spontaneous multi-shouting, which is quite complex and musical.
¡Amazing! hugs, peace and love from México.
The harmonies are out of this world!
much love from Tanzania, luv ya zulu land
The lead guy has an outstanding voice. 👌👌👌
Wow.....u are amazing folk... from North East India State...
In my church choir in the US growing up, we sang with our mouths. these beautiful people sing with their whole bodies. I think I would have liked this much more...
OH MY GOD I CANT EXPRESS HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS SONG .THEY KILLED IT!.......SOUTH AFRICA IS SO BLESSED WITH BEAUTIFUL VOICES AND PEOPLE....IAM BORN 100% FROM THE BAHAMAS BUT I LOVE THEIR CULTURE AND MUSIC SO MUCH NOT TO MENTION THEIR DANCE MOVES....I WISH SOMEONE WOULD TEACH ME MORE SOMEDAY THOO...SIGH......GOOD JOB YOU GUYS ...WELL DONE.......WITH LOVE FROM (ZION).
one day i will visit the Bahamas, i believe its one of most beautiful destinations in the world.

E ngā Awherīka ki te tonga tangata, waiata ātaahua hoki! Beautiful song, from Aotearoa/New Zealand. Arohanui ki te Awherika
This is absolutely crazy! I don't know any of these people but their joy is so infectious, it makes me feel like they're all my cousins and I'm genuinely happy to see them and hear them.
"ithi nje Dear mntamani" 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😍
you cant begin to comprehend this so long as you are using your eyes. only when you hit absolute rock bottom can you begin to understand the depths of pain of the violation of the soul... and then you can feel the perseverance in spite of all else
Please pray for me am addicted to this song even if I don't know what it means 💕💕💕😘🌍much love from Rwanda

Has there yet been a Zulu born who doesn't have perfect pitch?
I am wondering also. I was shocked, even Jacob Zuma, can pull it off perfectly.
Goosebumps..
Love from Gabon ❤️.
