Even though Africa has been through the worst things you can imagine, one thing that never died down was their culture. Where as in America and the rest of the globe we dont even know our own culture. And for that i am jealous af💯💯💯
Africa has had at least 8 civil wars, displacing and slaughtering whole tribes of their own people. America sent them building supplies to build houses the supplies were constantly stolen, Neighbors have bars on their windows to keep other Africans out. From America comes the inventors of everything you use, computer, electricity, cars, planes etc. culture? we are European, Asian, hispanic all cultures together.
I have to laugh how blacks get on an american invention to insult white American culture, go to Africa see if they give you free housing and food, medical care like we do for immigrants,
rest of the globe ? i dont think so...Greece ....and other countries like Asia ...still has their tradition music and their culture alive until today :) have a nice day
Hi my name is Keisha Saunders and I used to a long time ago dance at Ruth Williams dance studio when it was on 125th street and I was very little when I was there and I loved it and it brings me joy and happiness when I see all the good things that kids and family and everyone else getting into their dreams and dancing because it really reminds me of all I used to do there and I love it and I loved my teacher and my friends and my mom who was the class mom all the times I was there and you know it is very hard but it is fun and I think about it every day and night
Wow, even though i'm not from Benin immediately i heard the first words of the song, i knew it had to be something from Nigeria :-).. Shows the connection, i love my culture
SUPA FIYAH....ANYBODI WHO IS AGINST THIS, ...JUST CAN'T REACH 'HIGHER LEVEL LEARNIN, GOD PRAISIN, ART N MOTION!!!!!!!!1OVE.....KEEP DA FIYAH BURNIN......JAH BLESS ALL YA'LL....GIVETHANKZ 4LIFE
I loved this performance! It was full of emotion and passion and the music OMG! Hearing African music makes me feel as if I am Africa, even though I never been there. Seeing this makes me even more proud of my African culture.
if we were to open our eyes we will realize that all of us have african roots somewhere down the line the fact that our skin got ashed down through generations doesnt change the facts.... there is something about the beat of the drums that summons the soul.. "la sangre llama"
i thouroghly enjoyed this i was watching cause i needed a few african moves for my talent. And the dark skinned drummer is really sexy. I couldn't take my eyes off of him.
I'm a dancer and i really love african dance. They have a class for it at my studio and two of my friends and i really want to perform it at a competition next month. They are both of African descent but i am not. Is it considered cultural appropriation/ culturally inappropriate if a white girl is to perform alongside in an african dance?
This is a sweet question, though you will find much opinion on the matter the general rule seems to be that if your friends are inviting you to learn and perform their style of dance, you are obliged to accept otherwise you are (essentially) refusing to participate in their culture (which could be perceived as rude). If you were suggesting the dance yourself, or your dancing was centered in the performance (if you were the "main dancer"), that is entirely different and likely inappropriate. Hope that helps.
Katrina cultural appropriation ,as leftists push it, is a myth. There is a difference between passing another culture of as your own, and attempting to learn about other cultures through experience
Katrina I'm a pow wow dancer and I just love everything about it. Soon I will learn African dance. I am Native American. But I love learning about different cultures.

I love all of it. The mother-daughter dance is particularly insightful.

Strange stuff it is, to those who are not Africans.
I am going to teach my group this routine

Seattle Theatre Group: STGtv, I really like your channel

Nope! Do what you think is cool :) I think it's really good to have other people of other races think my ancestors dances are pretty.
