For those who may not know there is much more to this. If you look very well, the drummers (especially the lead percussionist in red) seems to drum exactly for each individual or group and each set of steps or dance as they come. The drums talk to the dancers and the dancers talk to the drums. If these drums were made the way we make them traditionally, then the actual process of making the drums is a spiritual process in and of itself, from the felling of the tree to the final product. Yorùbá "talking" drums are named so for a reason as they are in other parts of Africa that engage these practices. It is why the synergy between drum and dancer is so completely synchronised.
It's a sheer travesty what has happened to the African people and their culture.This gathering is a true testament to their strength, courage and fortitude .May they be blessed and their generations be loved and cared for.For they are the roots to us all.
No drugs.. No pills... No alcohol.. No Gucci belt... No Louboutin shoes no Instagram no Twitter no no.... ONLY pure vybz... Only riddm n soul.. Thank you Africa
Its like a portrayal of how people interact in a social setting with going back and forth between different people expressing their viewpoint and then someone else comes in and says no its not like that its like THIS (shows their way) then someone else calmly comes and says no not like that like _this_ and then it just becomes an open space where everyone just does their own thing but they all love it/don't care which way it goes. Reminds me of real life.
in germany we had something .. something magic that we super much celebrated for hours and hours .. this feeling .. feel what you hear and move your body to it.. dont thinking .. listening ... we called it techno partys... here in this video thats what i am talking about .. talking of this magic thing who has no word .. the energy .. the connection of peoples.. and now - we have a corona dominated world and doing this is a crime now - meet and dance a party itself .. all history now - love love love to africa
I am a white guy here in NY.. Love Techno (Trance) and African dance..They have African dance (workout) classes in many famous gyms now. I tried shuffel dance to electronic music, but kept falling over ! :( I'm 79
i see nothing but love and good energy in here. We black people love and welcome everybody in our culture. we are all brothers and sisters around this world.
wow...thank you for sharing this....got tears in my eyes......so this where my culture came from!!! hip hop man ...its so much bigger than we normally see.....i guess thats where every type of music and dance and culture came from...we are all one!
This is the Africa i feel in my soul from the ancestors gone and never forgotten, this is how they dance and lived so raw and yet so creative all rolled into one big love
I find this extremely emotional. After while I started to cry with big a smile on my face. The drummimg, the moves, hystery, energy... it moves the soul and heals the body. Even those white people was nothing less amazing. They all feel it. I need to experience this live. It's on my bucket list. Without a doubt, most powerful video I have seen in my 44 yrs. Big thanks for sharing this.
cool speech and yes it heals the soul i am Syrian i dont know how and and when i loved this African culture but i do believe it born with us all because Africa somehow is our mother so no wonder they called it mama Africa
unbelievably beautiful! the drumming was terrific and the dancing was just simply gorgeous. wow you don't see Talent like that everyday. that was just amazing!
This is like a good book, when you start reading you have to finish watching it. Lovely Africa, my father used to say in Africa dance start when someone sees a drum, no need to start beating it.

This brings tears to my eyes. I love how 'organic' this is...everyone being their natural selves...and just jumping in and dancing whenever and however...

This is my favorite thing. I LOVE watching Green Dress, and seeing the Chief let the dance come thru, proper. When Red Mama crashed it, I could see her star from her youth rise up. What a command. And when sky blue pants was called...WOW As a Capoeira, this video is an excellent look into the what the Roda IS.
We love you too. This dance is called dumdumba from Guinea 🇬🇳 (Guinée/Conakry) West Africa! I am from Guinea leaving in California and every time I hear this I want to go back home 😢
just pure energy that is transformed through the drummer into sound. Something beautiful gets born when this energy from the drummer starts to take effect on the dancer. The dancer gets connected with the drummers soul, by feeling it in his bones. By watching and moving together with the dancer in the middle the audience energybodies gets connected too with the dancer. The dancer experiences himself as part of this society, this humans, this earth. The drummer, the dancer and the audience are manifesting the show of inwardly merging together. All this happens with the help of energy. everybody vibrate energetically in harmony. The main energy source this of party is pure unmanifested movement or love or god. Pure celebration of life energy and an ecstatic aware falling into the ocean of pure love energy by letting go of the self. and letting love and movement happen in the only constant and "real" of the life - the present moment.
I keep checking if this is about be over, so I could rewind, ...and everytime I do, it's just the beginning!!!! Where the hell do these guys com from?. Damnnnn..... this is some rhythm!!!!
Till today I enjoy this video. To say that the dancers were having fun is underrated.

I saw the cameraman crouching in front of the lead drummer, and it took my mind right to the roda!
@@11kwright Totally agree, bro.
We use in capoeira and in our "terreiros" (afro-brazilian temples), a word from the yorùbá people to compliment and bless our brethren. The word is "ašé". We pronounce it like ashé and spell like axé.
So I tell you, Axé! 🙏🏽
