From the Akan people in Ghana to their descendants - the Nyabinghi Rastafari brethren in Jamaica - the drums beat on and on and on. That’s the life force that can’t be stopped!
These guys are good. Very good, but believe me..... you will be spellbound if you hear some of the drumming all over West Africa... particularly Ghana/Nigeria .... direct spiritual contact with your ancient ancestors.
@@Africa1000 nobody in west Africa have drums better than Mali and Senegal. Ghana and Nigeria are not known for drums. The best drums came out of the Mali empire like those on the video
@@diopfifi4937 Ghana and Nigeria not known for drums? Idiot! All of Africa is known for its drums. From Burundi to the talking drums of the Yoruba people. Whilst I also respect the drums of Mali and Senegal, for me they are usually too high pitched don't have the bass and hypnotism compared to the drums of say the Ga of Ghana, or the Igbo and Yoruba of Nigeria where the drums of Brazil and Cuba clearly originate.
how many thousands of years of ancestors passing down these rhythms am observing here? How many thousands of faces and spirits just like these made them who they are now. How exquisite this is to me to hear them, feel these beats.
@@NoRockinMansLand I have a totally different take on history that would require me to speak at great length. (And, I won't.) I don't believe history extends back millions of years. I don't believe world cultures originated from a single place, like Africa. Also, to say drumming was invented in Africa is logically flawed. Its about as ridiculous as saying Europeans invented the wheel. Although, perhaps the French invented the first wheel of cheese, just guessing. (meule de fromage) I think its inevitable that the wheel would have been discovered. And likewise, when someone taps a beat on something, that's drumming. To say that drumming was originated any place is illogical. How about dancing? Somebody invented that too? If nobody invented dancing, you mean, nobody as of yet would have tried a dance move?

I am not taking credit away from Africans, which is a really large group of differing people, culture and languages. Do I think Africans invented drumming?

Let's stop praising and attributing achievements to specific groups. Its not a worthwhile pursuit. And, it seems to appeal more to everyone's feel-good P-C emotions rather than logic.
Growing up on the Caribbean side of Honduras, I was blessed to hear these sounds regularly. African sounds have been a blessing to the world for centuries. Let us keep promoting its beauty and magnificence. Let us support players like these.
This music takes you back to spirits where music was humane and connected to the nature. Such a joy fills inside that you start moving inside. Very good music played truly enjoyably.
I was there last week. No drummers, but I heard a Ukrainian band there (double bass, clarinet, singing, etc) They were real good! But not as nice as Senegal drummers..😅
I love these guys!!!! My Dad (who played with Babatunde Olatunji) & my brother played the drums while Nana and I danced 60 yrs ago. I still dance a little but I love playing the drums now. Thank you fellas for sharing and bringing back beautiful memories.
Traditional Malinke rhythms with the Djembe player's own creativity and flavor. That's the beauty of the Djembe... play as you like as long as you sync with the base rhythm.
My dad may have given me the best gift I've ever received for Christmas this year. I didn't ask for anything and he just gave me a cheap djembe and I gotta tell you I'm obsessed with its beauty. Buy yourself a djembe and practice a little and come back to this video and start jamming with these guys. I was smiling the whole damn time! Djembe's are pure fun! Get one.
I see that a lot in African musicians, they smile while making beats. They seem to have a lot more fun than a lot of the western players, they are so serious.
Agreed to both of you. I feel Western music tends to be more composition heavy, while Eastern music tends to be more improvised. Neither are wrong. Just a different feeling. That said, people who make African music do seem to smile a lot. I like that. Music should be fun.
Beats that go far beyond recognition of any ordinary citizen.A story definitely worth a benjamin in their basket not only for the ambiance but the encouragement to continue.
damn you guys play so F**king well together its insane its like your finishing each others sentences:}, the dudes in the green vests, this is just out standing!
I love it! I have been a drummer for 30 years and still enjoy every practice and performance. These guys are awesome and you can tell they love playing.
If your ears got tired listing to the intense high tones, you can then listen to the base which is very meditating and relaxing. After you got recovered, you can keep enjoy the brilliant high tones. Great Great stuff!
I LOVE IT THEIR YOUNG POSITIVE AND DONING SOMETHING CONSTRUCTIVE !!!! The arts can lead you to many avenues . PEOPLE PLEASE CONTINUE TO SUPPORT ALL ASPECTS OF THE ARTS FOR IT ASSISTS IN PRODUCING OPENMINDED THOUGHT PROVOKING CREATIVE INDIVIDUALS AND MORE
When I was 12 I got sent to an alternative school and every day my class would go to music room and have really long jam sessions with djembes and shakers and just about anything else we could find. We would even play in the courtyard when it was nice out and we played at graduations also. Good times!
a person commented "why is there something familiar about these drums" !! I completely agree... it is as if they are recorded in some primordial soul, an ancient collective consciousness... love it!!
+fromundachees not really an ancient collective consciousness. It's just familiar to the western ear. African rhythms percolated all the way through from slave music, to calypso, to jazz, to rock, to funk, to hip hop. But if you asked a traditionally trained Indian musician who didn't have much exposure to other types of music, they probably wouldn't feel as familiar to that musician. Attributing this to collective consciousness misses a whole history of systematic appropriation.
I agree that they are part of collective consciousness, I being an Indian and know and have listened to classical Indian music, still just like and connect to the above music
Caleb Wtf does this have to do with cultural appropriation? Lul, get your white guilt, PC, SJW ass outta here with that shit. All cultures appropriate, that is how they advance. Also, your example is just plain wrong. Indian music contains, and has contained for a very long time, advanced, complex rhythms. A trained Indian musician would definitely be familiar with the rhythmic patterns happening here. Moron.
Music is the Universal Language... You dont need to speak it you just need to feel the rhythm that flows through all of all you and those around you... feel how you are One...
It's amazing how the same sound can drive some people away, yet others closer. Music does this, along with bringing joy, calming the spirit, and several other therapies.
World Street Music this is so great to watch and listen to, it seems to be done so effordlesly but I know how hard it is to drum with timing like this. Makes me feel humble and a little jalous too ;)
The two on the right are flashier, but the low-key dude in the black shirt is actually providing the underlying beat and rhythm that dominate the piece.
That is awesome! I would actually hope for a long wait for my train or wait for another just to listen to these guys play for awhile! If this stuff doesn't make you feel something deep down in your soul then you are a robot. Drums are the first instruments ever created and goes to the very core of who we are. If you think about a concert when a drummer does a big drum solo you will understand what I mean. Everyone is always transfixed on that drummer and they'll start swaying or rocking back and forth, before you know it people are spinning in circles and other primal/tribal type movements. Its in all of us no matter your ethnicity, race or whatever because it goes back to a time when all people lived in the same way with very similar beliefs. I thank the old gods that some of the people in this world kept with those traditions and we can still experience the feelings from those long gone days when humans lived as we were intended. At one with the world and creatures around us.
it does not get any better, respect and love and love to all the people that did not stop to watch such a singularity ... this is beyond Mozart and Bach... just pure heart and community
First class , that's the african culture and spirit , rhythm is all around us , we just don't feel it anymore which is very sad , life = rhythm , music and not greed , hate and envy like these days , take a close look and you can see the joy in the drummers faces while doing what they love
Screw the train. There'll be more of those later. An hour or two sitting there, listening to this whenever we get the chance, that's a better way to spend the day or night or ... life.
Absolutely beautiful I LOVE the African culture, beats, rhythm, everything. I feel this music in my soul, thank you! Oh my God, please never stop smiling!
It is easy to learn. You teach your hands 2 different sounds, one sound you make is left hand movement, another sound you make is right hand movement, and a third sound is both together, etc (for instrument like tabla their can be 14 or more word sound movements like (Dha ge na te te etc.) then you sing the song in your head, and you train your muscle responses until they become muscle memory. I was taught this method by both african, and Indian teachers, I teach this way, and this is how I teach myself as well. Watch their mouths in the video, you will see they are singing what they are playing.
The original masters of the rhythm and boom played in the bush not in the booth ! These men are amazing . Some of the best shows ever seen on Earth are played in Paris subways for free.
I've been to drum circles with many more people and Outdoors but in areas with good acoustics which were great but to hear just the three of them in the subway must be amazing
These guys are Awesome. I have been learning African drumming for a few years now. It's not easy but damn is a lot of fun and devotion. Thanks guys for this you are truly amazing 😊
this is beautiful thank you for sharing just a little of your beautiful culture I have had the opportunity to see the dances and drumming down in Kenya and thought it quite beautiful then too much of your culture has been lost over the years..I am glad to see you keeping it alive.
A refreshing break from Western drumming. Different sounds, lots of polyrhythms-that's where African music really shines. Watch the guy in the green tank; he's actually playing some pretty great stuff. 2 over 3, 3 over 4...
