Wodaabe: Herdsmen of the Sun
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 окт 2024
- A rare example of Herzog tackling the "ethnographic" corner of the documentary genre, with wonderfully mystical results! Herdsmen of the Sun tells of the Wodaabe tribe, a nomadic African community (self-described as "the most beautiful people on earth") who annually practices a festival called Gerewol, in which females choose their mates from a lineup of super-elaborately adorned men with wild makeup, feathers and kaleidoscopic robes draping their seven-foot frames. Starting with the first scene, Herzog accentuates the ethereal nature of this rite further by layering early 20th-century recordings of opera on the soundtrack; the film's dreamlike depiction of a foreign people, very much at odds with the purist cinema vérité tradition of ethnography without adornment, is the embodiment of Herzog's own "Minnesota Declaration": that through "imagination and stylization", there can be such a thing as a poetic, ecstatic truth. Riverting, singular and totally heartfelt. Review source: tinyurl.com/7ud...
I am fulani from Guinea, i love my people and all African people . We fulani or wodaabe ist same , we are the realy egyptien ancestor.
how do you say "water"
diyan
Please find me a husband because these men are beautiful
@@jeanandre6998 okey lol, what's your Facebook?
@@user-dd2tx5ou8p Egyptian don't say Diyan they say "Mi" ...how then can you say you are egyptian
the fact that women have so much power and freedom in their society is truly beautiful to see
This is why the white settlers to India when it was a united people, they taught the Indian men how to treat their women and the mother in-laws to do all the work and let their sons do no work, even though men are stronger than most women. As a result, these mother-in-law's usually work themselves into the ground before their time. The mother-in-law.also taught the wives to do the same. This behaviour serves no purpose except leaving orphan children and all men which also makes no sense as mem alone cannot procuate. They even took the matter to another level by kill first born baby girls, but God is watching.
They have some. But still do all the work.
So refreshing and utterly rare to see in old cultures
@@lalachka101They are totally free. We don’t treat our women like people in the west
In the West they are treated like gods
The first time I saw a documentary about these people, I was a little shocked by their striking appearances. But they do look beautiful. So beautiful. They become living high art when they put on their makeup and outfits! I love to look at them when they are decorated for their celebrations. They have such long willowy features. And their conversations in the documentary fascinate me. You can see that they think about the same things everyone else all over the world think about.
As whole they look beautiful to me. They are quite characterized by their tall stature and slim body it seems. And of course that magnificent white teeth.
Yes. Such beautiful people!
You might enjoy the NatGeo doc about them. It talks about their code of beauty, humility, honesty and charm. They seem like a truly lovely people.
I think the men look much more handsome without the make up, but the rest of the decorations are lovely.
Like the men, the women are l naturally..
Africa people is beutfull fulani is good
Who else had to watch this on mute?...seriously bro..you know your wrong for that music.
These beautiful people deserve their story to be told with music authentic to thier own region.
Same here too Annoying
Muted that sh!t
I was just about to sayt he same thing. You said it for me. That was some BULLSHIT. that song is why those people /my people, suffer.
THAT LET YOU KNOW WHO OWNS THE CAMERA AND WHO TELLING THE STORY.
NEED THE P FUNK.
I love the fact girls get to choose!
I believe that these people can show us Westerners the true art of living at one with nature. Africa just amazes me! My heart is Africa, and I'm British!
We appreciate it ❤
They speak so poetically when addressing even the most mundane things. Honestly puts the west to shame, not a single cuss word, profanity, or sense of anger amongst these people despite their living conditions AND consider themselves the most beautiful people in the world? I love it!
Who ever you are, THANK YOU for making this documentary and also; who ever YOU are, thank you for uploading this. The world is richer for it.
i hope you have learned about werner herzog and caught up with his work over these past years!
An insightful documentary spoilt only by the self indulgent nature of the music selection. What was the connection? They are African Nomads.
Starting with the first scene, Herzog accentuates the ethereal nature of
this rite further by layering early 20th-century recordings of opera on
the soundtrack; the film's dreamlike depiction of a foreign people,
very much at odds with the purist cinema vérité tradition of ethnography
without adornment, is the embodiment of Herzog's own "Minnesota
Declaration": that through "imagination and stylization", there can be
such a thing as a poetic, ecstatic truth.
I think you have a point there.
your mistake is herzog is not a documentarian, he is a film maker who uses documentary techniques to make something unique in a quest for the sublime and to suit his own curiosity. mission accomplished here as usual for him.
Damn, planet earth never ceases to amaze me everyday
True :)
A good documentary well design and shut. It shows how the Wodabe Fulani society is organized and competitions are unbiased with high level of justice. This community gives equal chances and opportunity to all. More rights to women. Except for the background music which is western the documentary is a good one. More grease to your elbow. I am always proud to be a Mbororo.
The music makes me feel sad, it's like mourning somebody's death in a western type of way.....
The music is terrible.But I do love this documentation of these particular Wodaabe rituals. Especially The young gathered around the elders,the stories, the beauty.The importance! 🙂
Beautiful..and I liked the music! The people are indeed very handsome human beings and it is good witness the women having choices in a world which is increasingly squashing that through war and religious fundamentalism.
the opening music is a stroke of genius from Herzog. It is the only recording of a castrato voice, that of Allessandro Moreschi, and is utterly complementary to the surreal opening images
couldn't disagree more. I would have been able to lose myself in the movie way more easily with the Wodaabe's music as the soundtrack. I feel like Herzog just wanted to put his "stamp" on this one.
Surreal images at the beginning? Perhaps. But in reality there is nothing surreal about these people. Nothing at all. Check out the expressions on the faces of the men from 3:49 to 4:20. They look like they'd slit your throat at the drop of a hat if you fucked with them.

Too true, I grew up among the Sokoro of Wokeli, and met Wodaabe Foulbe on many occasions. Very hospitable people, but they are a warrior people; many times I have seen the blades drawn for the sake of honor. Often after a fight, they would make up and hold hands. Discord within the tribe is forbidden.
@KostisMaroulis Bravo! You understood this artistic gem.
Spectacular. And, who would ever think that vintage 'Ave Maria' would fit so perfectly with the Wodabe men's preening, primping dance? Herzog, ever brilliant.
Ave Maria sung by a castrato, no less--Herzog winking at the audience?
@@TheTheThePhDJ Not sure about that. At least he seemed non tongue-in-cheek when he discussed this opening scene / docu at a symposium at UC Berkeley years ago.
STOP TALKING RUBBISH! TYPICAL OF YOU PEOPLE, DISRESPECT OTHER PEOPLE.
It did not suit this documentary at all is not African music so I disagree as ot fits in nowhere either tge preppie at all. Bloody ridiculous music yo have on a documentary about a tribe that still live as they have since animals humans walked on two legs. Yes we are all animal there are three things animal vegetable or mineral. Music is made by humans to fit a purpose if entertainment or ritual they have their own music should of used the Fulani rhythm not classical religious music
PLEASE CHANGE THE SOUNDTRACK
Bro, this is art, this is not a documentary.
What utterly beautiful people.
"I have chosen you with my heart" -beautiful moment. Can't quite put my finger on it but this was a beautiful film for me about courtship. This seems like almost a symbol for all human attraction. The female raelly does pick the male. This tribe just lets it happen in the most natural way I've seen. The men aren't all butthurt about it, they doll themselves up and the women make the choice...pretty straightforward....none of this male ego mucking things up.
I grew up loving Herzog anyway, but I saw a clip of this documentary at the Brooklyn Museum ~15 years ago and just sat there watching the video refresh. After the Herzog part there was a clip of the "courtship festival" filmed about 10 years later (so 1989-1999...wish I could remember/source it) and it was so interesting how attitudes had changed in such a short period- everyone participating, men and women, were kinda like, "yes, we know this is seriously old-fashioned, but we have to do it because tradition."
The Wodaabe people are so beautiful. I lost my breath for a moment.
Yes, they are! its amazing....
@@УльянаПодкорытова-м4у lol
It is worth noting that this is precisely the kind of culture jihadists in North Africa want to stamp out. In particular, the power of women in the culture and the concern for aesthetics are deemed "haram" and offensive to their version of Islam. Their "jihad" is aimed at ridding the world of cultures and cultural practices such as are seen in this film. What 400 years of the slave trade and European colonization was unable to do, the jihadists are attempting to do in one generation. They are well-armed and well-funded, through their own criminal activities and donations from the Gulf states, where elites see the destruction of traditional cultures in Africa as their historical mission.
Agreed...fundamentalism is the curse of our modern world. Indiginous people everywhere are being targeted as they are the easiest target..it seems in so many ways we are entering a new dark ages. :(
but having a culture does not mean that it is right. some cultures are bad like this one.
Like papakilatube's astute observations! True! People! Let's work together to leave a world to future generations MORE biologically and Culturally diverse than when we 'inherited' it! Thanks papakilatube! Thanks Wodaabe, Fulani! Thanks Indigenous People everywhere! Come on indigenous soul within everyone! We are all born on the Planet, so we are all indigenous here, but we humans need to realise that staggering simple fact and act accordingly-stop space dreams and get back to true Earth Reality before it's too late! Have a great day folks!
"Because modern man is a mutation, who's Dreaming has become a nightmare, which 'threatens' to destroy the Earth! Because we've turned ourselves from Wolves to Dog's, warped into a Billion twisted shapes and forms…" Extract AWS Song; 'Because Modern Man Is A Mutation', search RUclips to hear it all if you want!
Jessie Roberts the curse of the modern world is white people imo
@bnnawwal Who said it was bad? Men will be punished for lying on God and doing the enemy's work. God said what is right and what is wrong causes problems and interferes with His plans. One plan is most people have freedom of choice. You don't support their wrongdoing but very little wrong is commanded to send them to Him. Men are too lazy and shameful to admit they worship their own bloodlust and nationality like little filthy pests instead of hiding behind a God they stab in the back constantly. God isn't the problem it's mankind's willful corruption.
Beautiful film, except for that awful doggie howling at the beginning. The Wodaabe have their own chants for the Geerewal ceremonies. Why not use them?
Herzog was using a song that epitomises a western understanding of beauty to contrast with this sense of incomprehensible other and their own conception of what is beautiful. It seems that he chose a version of Ave Maria that is unconventionally sung to highlight the subversive nature of beauty and how it is perceived. This choice of song serves to highlight what Herzog is bringing his camera against and asking the viewer to question their own understanding of grace and beauty.
Ave Maria composed by Schubert in the 17th Century playing assuredly against the backdrop of Wodaabe men posing in seemingly bizarre expressions introduces the documentary with a wonderful sense of foreshadowing as to how Herzog works to turn the lens back on the viewer.
thanks for the explanation brah
Not to mention the purely aesthetic angle... Even without deep consideration of the goal, the contrast and juxtaposition itself is jarring.
The music sucks really it no their music 😂
Hideous singing 😂😂😂😂
I've got to get me some of those hats! I like them.
The music is taking away from the documentary or is it there some hidden agenda.
Well, this is not a documentary, that's people's problem with it. The director matches the initial impression of the visual creepyness of this tribal custom (admit it, it _is_ creepy, the first time around for sure) with the creepyness of a castrato voice (Alessandro Moreschi. Ave Maria).
They get bits and pieces from the west. My friend was in the jungle before, the most remote place on Earth and he seen someone with a football team jersey on haha. Sometimes people from the world come to visit them, like the guys doing this documentary and give them stuff!
Is anyone else curious as to how they have such beautiful teeth?
sugars (even the kinds from vegetables fruits and starches) are the main cause of tooth decay, which can often lead to crooked teeth in adults. A diet of millet, milk, and a small amount of meat eliminates the problem at it's source.

you need to befriend a farmer.
if you come to canada, i can hook you up with a cow and some fruit trees!
you can drink directly from the cow (just be nice to the cow)
peace!
It's on national geographic it's actually why they put the black around the lips so it can "bring out the white in their teeth "
the most africn teeth are so white because we use a specifi wood to chew on the theeth.i have some even right now :)
I don't know if these people are Muslims or not,but one thing I know for sure is if you want to know the secret of the clean teeth without toothpaste, read about the Prophet Mohamed (Peace Be Upon him) and his companions use to do to clean their teeth, you will be very surprise I promise You !
Peace .
Goes to show that notions of beauty, femininity, masculinity are cultural creations
I agree with you.
Thank you Mr Herzog,you bring class to the documentary genre,I am your biggest fan
Wonderful People! Wonderful way of life! Wonderful Land! There is so much beauty in this film; so much! We hope that the National Governments of Chad, Niger and Nigeria, and all others respect Indigenous Peoples, their Lives, Ways, Lives and Religion/Spiritual beliefs. We also Hope all people do that, and that All people come to reindigenise their/our own lives, as at the end of the day, we are all born out of Nature, all born on Mother Earth and we all need to Live With the Earth in a good way! Forget space travel an space stations! Take care of the Earth!
A very beautiful people, a very wonderful culture and very, very special way of life and many thanks for a most enchantingly beautiful and wonderful film! Many thanks and well done! Long live the Wodaabe, Fulani and ALL Indigenous Peoples! Long Live Their Lands and Cultures…and May ALL Humans realise that; "We Belong to the Earth; The Earth Does Not Belong To Us!" ( Chief Seattle.)
One viewer commented;"but having a culture does not mean that it is right. some cultures are bad like this one." Wow! This is the hight of Ignorance, blind ignorance-no doubt religious fundamentalism! It is incredible how with no further education people are so often just willing to accept what is written in a old text or what a so called religious teacher ( or any teacher, scientist, person for that matter) tells them without thinking for themselves, without study, without searching for the truth, not just opinion or dogma. It is incredible to me that someone can be so ignorant they can just write off a culture and people like that!
I'd like to invite anyone wishing to sing along with me in this vein, come sing with me a song; 'Because Modern Man Is A Mutation' either voice forest rap or with Berimbau, musical bow, on RUclips. Just type the title, 'Because Modern Man is A Mutation' in the RUclips search bar or look for it on songs shelf on my channel. Thanks and have a great day folks! May all beings enjoy happiness and it's causes! May All beings be free from suffering and it's causes! For All Our Relations!
Why do you pick this music for my people? The documentary is about Africa not Europe.
these men are so VERY BEAUTIFUL- without the makeup- LITERALLY
Fun fact, the fulanis were the ones called the red bones in Amerikkka, they were also the first cow boys in Amerikkka, in the Texas area and Carolina.
The first cowboys in America were the indigenous Natives of northern Mexico
@@dollynina8992 sorry but they were fulani ppl. Fulani ppl introduced large cattle rearing to Amerikkka. The natives never did that on a large scale, the fulani were and are still tbe biggest nomadic group in the world. Those taken as slaves taught the Europeans large cattle rearing also for the first time. Look it up, the term cowboys was first given to tbe fulani in Amerikkka then the Europeans stole the image and claimed it as theirs
@@rellblackthrone6071 in fact fulani call themself Rimato/Rimadô wich means COWCHILD Or COWBORN they Are also related to anciens Égyptians because also anciens égyptians called themself RMT wich egyptologiste call Remet and have the same meanning as in fullah
i think the men are attractive @14:11 . but there are PLAYERS SMH lmao 35:46 ..lmao some of their conversations are funny .. that guy seems like a player lol @20:27
...the himba tribe and the fulani tribe are the most beautiful african tribes .
africans are truly the first people on earth ..they are so in tuned with mother nature and earth..THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL TRIBE ever..im so happy to have african ancestors , they ae so fucking beautiful
they do resemble ancient egyptians
Wow, you've really got an axe to grind, don't you? Nobody wants to listen to you in real life so you comment in every comment thread vaguely related to the agenda you're trying to push hoping to get a response? I guess I gave you one. Sad little fucker.
Stfu cave beast you are
@@debieanais314 lol debbie browns is the most white european name ever
They are the descendants of the ancient Egyptians
Always find a way to slip in that Hamitic crap
I have chosen you with my heart!!!!
💘❤💞💝💋 Powerful Words, If you've traveled down that road before !
That was so beautiful 😍
This was great to learn. I didn't know about this.
Such beauty! Hearing them sing must make any body vibrate, outstanding, humble, powerfull. Isn't it lovley that a girl inlove will smile the same way no matter who or where they are?
No Dentist or toothpaste. I want their secret!!
I agree! I bet it has something to do with the milk and yogurt consumption. They do have very beautiful white teeth!
They use twigs from a certain bush to brush their teeth... They're mega into clean teeth and really fuss over them.
africans (blacks) usualy have great white teeth
Meat & veggies. Good diets
We make use of chewing stick 24/7
My beautiful and lovely people. I will be fight for your you and your right forever! Thanks for the video.
I'm one of this Fulanis from Guinea Conakry 🇬🇳🙏🏽💚
The music choice was odd, certainly not my taste, but I don't think the director meant any harm by it. Quite the contrary, I think by using sacred music he was trying to emphasise the beauty of these people at a time when the other peoples around them living alongside them treated them terribly. Including their government. So, although artistically jarring, I don't think a bad intention was meant.
Sheer poetry and one of the most beautiful expressions of human independence I have ever seen
They take every opportunity to show African culture in the most negative light!! Just listen to that music!!! 👑
The girl who picked at the end was really pretty, and the little smile she gave. Adorable. They seem so shy when making the selection.
The man she picked was really pretty with a little smile and adorable. Wasn’t he so cute.
While taking notes for my paper, I wrote down "My God these woman are beautiful" three times and didn't notice until reviewing. Honestly, the women and the men are both naturally very attractive. This is solely based on their basic physical features. By that I mean, one could take them and place them in any other culture's style of dress, and they'd be equally attractive.
What did that AWFUL rendition of "Ave Maria" at the beginning of this film have to do with the subject?
That's artistry, bro: matching weird looks with weird music. Quite humorous. No offence intended.
@@oberkreide4291what you said is offensive
Although 9 may be too young for marriage, I appreciate this culture making sure that all pairings are age appropriate and waiting when they are of age for consummation.
Come on this music don't go with this culture plse take your music back!!!!
😂
This is not a documentary. This is art. In my opinion, a perfect match: creepy looking men & a creepy sounding castrato voice. Something to remember, for sure.
@@oberkreide4291 creepy looking men? This is such a disrespectful comment
@@oberkreide4291 sooo bloody disrespectful! There's more creepy men in the western culture by far, than there are here, you have no right to say that about that other cultures
Have you thought about why Werner Herzog chose that particular music? He's a great director - there's a reason for every choice he makes
Truly beautiful people of the Sun!
I really love this piece. Can anyone tell me where I can get better quality / HD version of this?
I can give it for you
Explain the battery acid as eyeliner. Why? Wouldn’t something like coal or another natural substance be less toxic?
I was thinking the same
I was thinking that, too. They used to use charcoal. Maybe they use the battery stuff because it lasts longer
This is the best documentary of this subject.
Pity, I can't watch this. The choice of wailing Ave Maria is too painful as a soundtrack.
You didn't get it...
I uploaded my DNA data to GEDMatch and ran various tools. It has my African side of me almost always leaning towards the Fulanis.
This is cool. :-)
Nice looking people.
That is awesome!!!
As a Fulani, I am shocked to see these folks and I wonder how they got to this point. I hope the world will define the Fulani culture or nation in terms of the so-called Wodaabe.
I love how demure the judges are; they really milk the suspense for all it's worth. The Gerewol is so interesting, practically every cultural study focuses on it, but I'm interested to know what else is going on, like there are a lot of men attending the festival who aren't dancing - what are they doing? Are they content with their relationships and don't feel the need to participate, or is the custom limited? Some guys appear in partial makeup but also aren't dancing, what does this mean?
It's amazing no one shows any sign of obesity as we do in America. Everyone has beautiful teeth and appear quite healthy. Why are we led to believe the people of Africa live backwards and live violently? These people appear happy and show signs of great family values.
They also cannibalize one another. Real spiritual people
@@glenbellefonte9620 Do you have actual proof of your assessment?
@@wisdomandpeace2668 it's a simple fact. They also still practice slavery
@@glenbellefonte9620 Excuse me to say, but you are an idiot. I grew up in Africa and knew of no instance of cannibalism as an accepted practice. There are no Jeffrey Dahmers there as far as I know.
If you've met any Africans, I am sure you will come to see that they are like people from anywhere else. They care about family, respect elders, are usually kind to strangers, they work hard, trade, quarrel sometimes, just like human beings everywhere. Some live very simply or in poverty, others have a lot of wealth and live accordingly. Don't forget that Africa is a huge continent with many, many different ethnicities, cultures and languages. What you find in one place will be very different from another.
What year was this documentary filmed?
Thanks Piatequila
So emotional this show. I went to Senegal in July last year. I am Jamaican living in UK and it was my first time there. They told me i am Fulani which I found interesting because Jamaicans are a mixture of different races but they could see Fulani in me..
Probably due to your aquiline features.
why the weird music?
wow this my culture and sad that many tradition are lost and forgeten ....... but speak fulani
this was so beautiful. I'm so inspired!
This is so breathtaking ❤
The music was great :)
I wonder what they use for their teeth really nice in Ghana I know of charcoal and chewing stick works too
Interesting. I am an American but lived in Nigeria (west African) as a child. My father is Hausa but I grew up around Fulani people. The women are beautiful and have elaborate hairstyles & jewelry. In my last video I made a hair tutorial inspired by Fulani women & Yemi Alade. check it out!
Hair By Habiba lol a fulanized hausa, smh. hausa have lost their nuts.
Sarkin Makanda it is the fulanis of nigeria that are hausamized. That is why non Nigerian fulanis have problem understanding fulani dialect from Nigeria because it has been hausamized.
BIZOU BRAZZA you may be right. But the fulanis pretty much own Nigeria politically speaking. They are able to commit crimes with impunity.
I said what I said to her because people only worship fulani because alot are light skinned
Sarkin Makanda most are brown to dark. only bororos are light this video says wadaabe are bororos but those are two different tribes (under fulani). Only the Nigerian president is fulani that is why they get away with crimes. But most fulani (northerners) are illiterate so how can they comtrole the political power in Nigeria???
BIZOU BRAZZA why is it the fulani attack Yorubas, tiv, and other ethnic groups and get away with it? Are you aware of their political history?
But this music tho!!
😂
Creepy as hell 😅😅
I wonder if you can say you don't want to participate in the beauty contest....
their hair is so beautiful
i need to get that "Herb of charm" :-)
Ament to that.Glad you made it clear who was there and who are the children of the sun.
Africans are such a strong people.
One other thing, they make much of the men and yes they are extremely handsome but the girls are knock-outs themselves. They are some seriously beautiful young ladies.
True. I think it goes without saying that a people with good-looking men will automatically have women even better looking :)
Whats Ave Maria has to do with this people ?
Well. Down 🔻⬇️ ,! Thank you for your Video 📷📸 Excellente Aqui Y Ahora manifesta Està La Luz Y la Verdade y La Vida Sobre Toda la TIERRA . Gracidao siempre Adelante Gracidao Gracidao Allegria Felicidad Armonia y Tranquilidad Grande Hermano Gracidao
Thank You for this documentary i never knew women had the chance to choose their spouse in a fulani setting
Am a fulani from Sierra Leone and It looks different from ours
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
Fascinating
Pure beauty...
Como estas
They are so naturally majestic!
What an odd choice of music.
I wonder what the point of that was?
Reed please the explanations above (e.g. by Kostis Maroulis or Alex Buxton). The director contrasts bizarre looks with bizarre music (castrato singing). Quite humorous and memorable, I'd say.
Nothing removes me from the atmosphere and identity of these people more than hearing the sentimental European music of the first half of the 20th century played over their rituals and behavior, it's jarring and annoying. I've always enjoyed Herzog's work but what the hell, it's not just anachronistic, it clashes and feels tacky and distorts everything the actual people are doing in favor of something Herzog is reminded of or something.
I really do understand you. I felt the music...sentimental from a lost time did fit in a strange way. These people have lost so much, much of their story is now gone forever, like the music... merely played out in small camps where lucky ones have managed to keep their cattle alive. I liked it !! Take care.. x
its creepy with the face paint, like the beginning of a psychotic episode of any sort
305savage Do you think it would have a different effect without the music? I used captions and turned off the sound. The sound made the whole thing seem unreal.
evilyig I think that was Herzog's point.
Lighten up Frances
These people are fascinating and beautiful…something ultra-human, metaphysical about them. Perhaps the model from which we as creatures should be.
I just wanna thank ancestry dot com for helping me find my roots
Watched it without breathing, thank you for sharing.
I dont appreciate him making it look like they were singing Ave Maria
the narrator is """"
i hated that..Stop adding your culture ....WE ARE ALREADY.....
My first LOL moment of the day - That would be like lip synching the Queen of England to ... King Sunny Ade. yeah.
The director does not make them look like singing. He matches their weird looks with weird sounds of castrato singing. Hope that explains it.
@@oberkreide4291 weird looks?
Those men are GORGEOUS!!!
is that florence foster jenkins singing in the background?
............But WHY put Opera Music ??????????????????????????
How long have they been dressing like this? Seems very western inspired, in the beginning.
Wow... the first few seconds of this video made me think I was tripin

what's with the music?...It's not a blood *OPERA* !!!
There so beautiful..it’s like 😳 whoa
I really hate the music because it screws up the whole thing
I wonder if they have hair secrets because most of them have long hair and its not as if they have a wash day routine
Everyone calm down it’s just music. I don’t think he meant anything by it.
Proud Fulani of Guinea Bissau, my people are truly beautiful❤
There they go, they put the Woodabe dressing for their courtship ritual against a backdrop of European classical music to make them look like a bunch of fruitcakes.
What a good looking African race - both men and women
How about if a girl chooses a male and he does not desire her?
Goodness, isn't that the last Vatican eunuch singing in the opening soundtrack?
