Ushaka Marine Zulu Dance Finals, 2015..The best ever Zulu Dance we performed with 44 Zulu Warriors on Stage. You can book us today on indlondlozuludancers@gmail.com
I am a white woman of 77yrs and I watch different African tribal dances. Black people have music dance and soul running through their bodies. Better than any other country. Respect to all. Love your energy and happiness. Beautiful people.❣
What some people don't understand is that this was not just dancing. This is Martial Arts and all the motions were training to make the warriors strong, ambidextrous, agile and physically conditioned to fight without tiring. It is also a warriors meditation...in order to do it right...you have to be locked in mentally and in be totally in battle mode.
Apparently being a strong, agile, and being in the battle mode did nothing to prevent earlier ancestors from being taken as slaves. I guess they weren't as good warriors as they thought.
@@darz3829the white men came with guns & that shifted things in their favor. We had spears which needed proximity to be effective. They had guns and could kill from afar. If it wasn’t for their guns, they would have had a terrible time subduing us. And we still had victories like the isandlwana etc
@@darz3829 Nope! My point is that they had access to better weapons. Just to educate you (I am Zulu after all), this dance depicts close combat. That’s why they carry umkhonto nehawu (a spear and a shield). You use the spear to thrust at a close-by enemy and the shield to ward off their attack. The shield is not bulletproof. My point is that this dance depicts a close physical combat, and if that’s what the conflict entailed, then the coloniser might have been defeated. If there’s a boxing match and someone bring a gun to the ring and shoots the other opponent, then you can’t exactly call them stronger. The coloniser was historically more cunning and would do very evil things wherever he went in the world in order to “win.” They didn’t stop at killing men on a battlefield, they killed women and children too. Look at what Belgium did in the Congo, they killed more people than Hitler’s holocaust, men women and children. I recall also learning about how they subdued the native Americans in order to reduce their populations…by waving the white flag and giving them blankets laced with smallpox which killed men, women and children indiscriminately. That’s not strength, that’s pure evil. Strength in the context of this dance is close hand-to-hand combat man-to-man.
I m from Serbia (europe). Srbija ima veoma bogat folklor. Ovaj kulturni i tradicionalni nastup Zulu plemena je na mene ostavio veliki utisak, i bio je veoma impresivan. Meni je vrlo drago kad narod cuva svoju tradiciju gde god bio u svetu. Hvala vam za ovo.
I'm a south African (zulu) and happy to see our brothers and sisters in U.S apriciating this. You have to understand that our country is a rainbow nation and there's much much more cultural dances you haven't seen yet, but perhaps you guys will them one day and also be moved.
Oh ok I have a question? I've seen the documentary about the great warrior King Shaka Zulu. The dancing rituals they performed were much different than what is shown here. I'm assuming that what was shown was one of the cultural dances you've mentioned. I'm assuming that it was an original Zulu dance??
@@kayrobbie5840❤I have been in love with Shaka every since the first time I saw him when I was just a kid....I thought he was the most beautiful man in the entire world 🌍 .....I think im gonna watch that now🤗
I am not Zulu, I am A American Native Indian from the Apache Comanche tribe my name means Rainbow and I pray someday I can travel there to Rainbow Nation and watch you dance all your tribal dances
@@sisteririsgoins5660 I'm African I have seen native Indians tribes playing flute oh my god it gave me goosebumps..it made me remember my tribes soulful song for the spirits before going into a battle in Bini, Modern day Nigeria
Those aren’t just dance movements, they are fighting movements. Kicks, rushing, all unified in close order drill fashion. The Zulu are indeed fierce warriors.
@@KHWAHLAMBAThe Zulu had nearly 20,000 in that battle and attacked a largely unprepared group of less than 2,000 British men. The Zulu might have won that battle, but it is definitely nothing to brag about. The Zulu were incredibly dumb, reckless, and naive to even consider attacking the British in that battle. They still lost far more men in that battle than the British had period, and soon after, the British came in and completely destroyed them.
Black people, no matter where we are in the world, will react to the beat of drums. THIS is why...it's in us! No matter how much the US and other nations have tried to erase our culture, there's ALWAYS a hint of our ancestry there, especially when it comes to artistic and creative abilities, and natural athleticism. We are known innovators. My African brothers and sisters are also some of the most intellectually gifted people I know.
Watching this video, tears welled in my eyes because never have I ever been more proud to be AFRICAN-American. For all that AAs lost through the slave trade, to know that the people we come from are still ever creative and resilient despite current circumstances makes me feel so blessed.
All the afroamerican people you must to be very proud of yours africans origins, Africa it is our MODERLAND. lONG LIVE FOR ALL THE AFRICAN PEOPLES ! NO MORE RACISM!
@@duncanlaing6078 I was just thinking that. Zulu's were rounding up members of docile and less intelligent tribes and trading them in the markets of Portuguese Mozambique and the Swahili Coast. It's why these dances were not seen practiced in pre or post-Civil War America. These weren't the dances of the enslaved.
@@isaiahhenderson3447 As in 'are there Zulus currently living in the southeast of Africa'? sure...but originate from there? no. Zulu land is in Southern Africa.
@@chimcham6762 nope, Zulus originate from Southern Africa, where all africans came from. The cradle of Human kind is here, the oldest spheres that have been found is here. Adams calender is also here. Imagine believing white man's Histry of Bantu Migration.
Zulu’s are the most respectful people on the planet - Tough soldiers with built in honesty and pride. These qualities were installed many generations ago and have been carried through the generations - Respect ✊ to these people ❤️
Not even going to lie, if all the AA went back to the motherland and this is how our distant African families welcomed us like this. I’d break down into tears, I’d be so overjoyed to be there. I’d truly be at peace if I was able to come back home.
I fell in love with the stories my uncle taught me about the Zulu tribe as a child. This tribe was my first introduction to Africa so I never believed the narrative American schools tried to teach us about our history. Thank you for sharing this with us. It truly warms my heart!

Hey when are you coming to Durban, our culture is still very much preserved. I can host you if you come . Add me on WhatsApp +27817252388 or twitter @Markedama
Zulus Swatis, ndebele, Tsongas and Xhosas in South Africa are Nguni tribes, we know that we came from the great lakes area possibly thousands of years earlier.
Do people realize every move in this "dance" is a fight move...there was clearly 2 advance and attack and 1 for falling and regroup. *THANK YOU FOR HISTORY AND FIGHT LESSONS!*
@S M The fact that after his mother died he ordered all cattle to be slaughtered, burnt all growing food and all children born in that year to be killed.
@captain darling nah most Africans don’t deny this. I’m Zulu and we are literally told all the time of how cruel Shaka Zulu was. We were even told he buried all virgins in the village with his mother when she died to guard her in the after life. And how he once killed a soldier who described the water in the river in Amanzimtoti as “mnandi“ (which means delicious) which bears a respemblance to his mothers name Nandi and ordered everyone to use the word “mtoti“ so as to be more respectful. Literally all Zulu people know this.

Of course it's a Zulu dance in Africa... I think this is in South Africa, in the continent of Africa which will primarily consist of people of African descent
@@nicolen3177 It's performed in Durban, Kwazulu Natal, South Africa at the uShaka Marine world Aquarium. They host a traditional Zulu dance competition every year.
I'm Welsh/Scottish. I'm glad it's just your people at this circus. Too bad us Westerners have to put up with this circus culture in our own nations here in the West.
@@slycat2355 that's where the steppers get it but their divine 9 steppers does it for the clubs, these Zulu dancers been doing it for their people, it's a big difference.
Culture is what makes Africa the most interesting continent in the world....I can't get tired of watching these traditional manifestations....thanks for posting
I'm African American from the south (Charleston SC) I'm a dancer at heart... I am so hype from this... lawd I wanna know my African roots!!! The energy is just out of this world... Sooo Proud!😍😍😍😍😍
Its not going be Zulu since they are east African but its better to check out the west African dances. Congo, Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon, and the Mandinka people.
It’s so crazy how many aspects of HBCU life I see here. Greek probates, drum majors, etc. We do things that are in connection to our roots without even realizing!
So impressed. African American here, and I can see our Black College Drum Majors is this Video. Amazing how much we are still so Alike. I LOVE THIS VIDEO! Africa is Amazing!
Yes! A lot of the movements are so similar to the drum majors. I'm glad someone else caught it. They can beat us down but they can't beat our culture out of us
We have a lot of African culture we have kept. But we are not aware because we don’t know our brothers and sister. The internet is a godsent because we now can see our Africaness. It’s undeniable that Africa has never left us. We just an African remix.that’s all. You see these Southern African dances in us especially our fraternities and sororities.
@@pmambongwe8640 We are called African American because we are a mixture of many African ethnic groups. Most noticeable West Africa but not excluding the rest of Africa. Most historians leave out the fact that many Africans were taken from Angola. The first people taken to America were Ngona( I’m not sure of the spelling) it’s well documented. As you are aware the borderlines we have today were drawn by the Europeans. In Southern Africa chattel slavery happened….another part of history they don’t speak about. Few were bought to America but none the less they were bought here too. Not to mention the Arab slave trade was still going on in East Africa and there were many exchanges there particularly when direct Africans from West Africa was banned in 1808 in America. African Americans have created our own culture from so many. You will see eliminates of many. Also African Americans share a common history of being under the thumb of European oppression directly in modern times with South Africans.
I'm always proud of being Zulu but watching this video makes me cry because we used to gather with my family and perform our culture dance, but most of my family members past away. This video brings back all the good memories we shared thank you guys for reminding us who we are,I have so much love and respect for you guys ❤❤❤
Respect for your amazing traditional dance from young gernaration in Africa luv Zulu people energy God must have blessed them more and luv from India 💞
many modern urban musical producers of urban genres such as Gqom and Amampiano are of Zulu origion the strong rhythmic drum seeps though digital programing.
As soon as the drums kicked in, my body wanted to move. This is IN me, passed down from my ancestors centuries ago. That tells me where I come from and it beckons me to come home. I'm building a retirement home in Nigeria. I will go home soon and connect with the one thing that I cannot get in America. That is, the feeling of motherly love from the ground upon which I stand. Africa wants her long lost son back and I will obey her calling. Come with me my brothers and sisters. There's plenty of room.
@Junkman2000 , As soon as the drums kicked in I had a headache. So Junkman2000, best watch out for your 'Junk', you think the USA has crime? Good luck with that. I am glad someone listened to Trump > "If you don't like it here, you can leave, no one will stop you".
Feel u broe all comments 4rm African American gaves me emotional , hope to hav a good dae coz I jst imagine African without knowing ur roots, Stay blessed Love u ❤
@@RobertGarcia-wv8vx - Sorry Robert i don't speak or understand Neanderthal can you get a real human to translate your grunts into something intelligent
Marvelously done! And in Angola we have the Mumuwila tribe to this day. Majestic warriors who rejected Portuguese colonisation to the bitter end and won. While the rest of the country was step by step taken over by the Portuguese, the Mumuwilas refused to give in and integrate. Because of their imposing stature, the Portuguese feared them. After trying with no success to integrate them, they had to leave them in peace in their own territory, which remains to this day.
Please respect preserve and honour them for the sake of the rest of Africa which has been colonized brainwashed Christianized and/or Islamized to hell. They and their previous generations must have foregone all the modern trappings of westernization, education, political power, technology and leisure to pass on the unique and invaluable attributes of ancient Afrikans heritage, much like the maasai of Kenya and other marginalized demonazide, imppverished and ostracized gems of custom and humanity all over Africa. OAU ought to fund and sustain the few pockets of authentic black African core values before it dissapears for good. This dance is just a glimpse CV of the deep well of culture and norms. Just watching this short clip makes me loose sleep! If I were a billionaire!
Sou do Brasil 🇧🇷 e amo meus irmãos afro descendentes e sua cultura. sou da Bahia um pedaço da África aqui no Brasil viva a África e todos os seus descendentes I love You african.🌍🖤
And slaves (btw I'm South African but saying they weren't slaves is dumb, they might have been king, queens and whatnot but some were still slaves. Although that only applies to Western and Eastern Africans, Southern Black Africans were not enslaved.
@@dinamena.nhantumbo I've heard of slavery in Mozambique which I should have noted as an exception but it is of course not as popular or well known as the Trans Atlantic slave trade. But what the guy above said that black people weren't slaves is a very unintelligent thing to say. Not every black person was an elite warriors or chief or queen and many were indeed slaves so his logic doesn't do it for me. Btw I'll definitely look in what you said about Xhosa's being kidnapped, I have not heard of that before. And free labour, yeah that was basically unofficial slavery.
I wish it was easy to have a competition in Africa so that we can see and learn about other African countries traditional dances. We have such talent as Africans.
And people will pay to be with you.....oversease.......tourisms...........the true heritage culture and spirit by the people of Mamma Africa & South Africa. Makes me a proud proud white Africano and south African. God bless our nation and continent and peoples.
blackjesusisking7777 It’s in the culture. It’s in the language and the dance. The Zulu are a warrior tribe that is known to be fearless in war. No hesitation and no fear of death. A Zulu that showed fear in war would be killed by another Zulu. Fear is contagious in battle and has to be eliminated at once. Till this day we Zulu’s are still a people of war. When our king speaks we listen. However there is more to us than just war. “Ubuntu” is a concept where one takes care of their fellow man as they would care for themselves. We therefore are a people that loves peace and values respect of human lives above all else.
@@RobertGarcia-wv8vx Did you know that apart from Opioids you can be stimulated by mayonnaise and kill your wife? Wow Pink devils will always troll us but never worry about their decreasing birth rates!
Yes people should be allowed to be proud of our ancestry of all types. I have always looked in awe of the Zulu how magical!! Similar to Island dancers but still unique. Thanks for the gift of this video ,thanks Africa xxx
As-Salamu Alaikum !! In Shaa Allah ! One day , i will go to my native home AFRICA!!! i want to go to my African-family here on this earth !!! Africa-Makkah is in my heart !!!
These Zulu Warriors, Warriors?, no bullshit!, what an amazing stamina , energy and physical condition, amazing abs, leg muscles. Great fast rhythm and the drumming, wow!. Love it!.
They gave acrobat , ballet , hip hop , run way , military , salsa ,merengue , Bachata , clogging even twerking dam all the world dances is a brief moment . Awesome
You won't find this anywhere in the world apart from Africa. Wow! What a display!! Africa, the continent of rich culture. I love ❤ it. I am proud to be an African!!!
Afro American that has always admired the Zulu! What a blessing to be able to see them up close and personal in this manner. As expected they never let down just shock more and more! When I see them perform it ignites something in me and reminds me of being home.

@@nicolen3177 It's performed in Durban, Kwazulu Natal, South Africa at the uShaka Marine world Aquarium. They host a traditional Zulu dance competition every year.
I'm Welsh/Scottish. I'm glad it's just your people at this circus. Too bad us Westerners have to put up with this circus culture in our own nations here in the West.
@@hailoweenhailoween5264poor child. Did they hurt your feelings?
This tradition has never left us...African American “Divine Nine” Fraternities!!!
wow!!! so true
Even the chanting
Yes! I felt like I was at a step show watching this!
@@slycat2355 that's where the steppers get it but their divine 9 steppers does it for the clubs, these Zulu dancers been doing it for their people, it's a big difference.
Divine nine fraternities are pagan and we're not each other's folk
Culture is what makes Africa the most interesting continent in the world....I can't get tired of watching these traditional manifestations....thanks for posting
Africa is not the most interesting continent in the world...
@@hailoweenhailoween5264 it is argue with your mom
@@iravonde247 Your mom? Seriously? I take it that you're one of them folks that really believed Saddam had W.M.D.s
@@iravonde247 Africa is only good for 3 things plunder, civil wars, and famine.
As a Ndebele from Zimbabwe ' who are descendants of Zulu...
I'm proud of my people
we are one bro
Proud of the cheerleaders
Ndebele were not descended from Zulu... Ndebele, Xhosa, Zulu, Swats ,Ngoni of Moz, Zam, Zim , Malawi and Tanzania are all Nguni by origin
@@AndrewKundya Zim Ndebele are descendents of the Zulu.
Zim Ndebele is the zulus who left with Mzilikazi kaMashobane
They dance for us when my airline made the 1st schedule service from the u.s. to South Africa it was so beautiful I cried
Must have enjoyed it 😁

Its not going be Zulu since they are east African but its better to check out the west African dances. Congo, Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon, and the Mandinka people.
What an amazing dance! And the choreography! Absolutely incredible!
The energy & stamina required are phenominal!

Wowwwwww I’m Mexican and let me tell you wowwwwww love it 😍
Damn! Not only those dancers inhuman. The crowd was absolutely amazing!
Love from Florida USA 🇺🇸 ❤️ 💕
It’s so crazy how many aspects of HBCU life I see here. Greek probates, drum majors, etc. We do things that are in connection to our roots without even realizing!
I was thinking the same
💯True
Yes, so true. It just shows you how powerful culture is and how we are all connected spiritually.
Now that you mention it, after the movies I've seen this is somewhat similar. African Americans have a piece of us over there
Facts
So impressed. African American here, and I can see our Black College Drum Majors is this Video. Amazing how much we are still so Alike. I LOVE THIS VIDEO! Africa is Amazing!
Icilongo nje lilodwa it makes me feel indoda yomZulu
Yes! A lot of the movements are so similar to the drum majors. I'm glad someone else caught it. They can beat us down but they can't beat our culture out of us
We have a lot of African culture we have kept. But we are not aware because we don’t know our brothers and sister. The internet is a godsent because we now can see our Africaness. It’s undeniable that Africa has never left us. We just an African remix.that’s all. You see these Southern African dances in us especially our fraternities and sororities.
@@zeeqq105 it's confusing how you guys mostly came from the West but are more like us Southies
@@pmambongwe8640 We are called African American because we are a mixture of many African ethnic groups. Most noticeable West Africa but not excluding the rest of Africa. Most historians leave out the fact that many Africans were taken from Angola. The first people taken to America were Ngona( I’m not sure of the spelling) it’s well documented. As you are aware the borderlines we have today were drawn by the Europeans. In Southern Africa chattel slavery happened….another part of history they don’t speak about. Few were bought to America but none the less they were bought here too. Not to mention the Arab slave trade was still going on in East Africa and there were many exchanges there particularly when direct Africans from West Africa was banned in 1808 in America. African Americans have created our own culture from so many. You will see eliminates of many. Also African Americans share a common history of being under the thumb of European oppression directly in modern times with South Africans.
I'm always proud of being Zulu but watching this video makes me cry because we used to gather with my family and perform our culture dance, but most of my family members past away.
This video brings back all the good memories we shared thank you guys for reminding us who we are,I have so much love and respect for you guys ❤❤❤
Indeed Khabazela kaMavovo!! Wena waseMbo..uphile bhuti 😊
Respect for your amazing traditional dance from young gernaration in Africa luv Zulu people energy God must have blessed them more and luv from India 💞
many modern urban musical producers of urban genres such as Gqom and Amampiano are of Zulu origion the strong rhythmic drum seeps though digital programing.
As soon as the drums kicked in, my body wanted to move. This is IN me, passed down from my ancestors centuries ago. That tells me where I come from and it beckons me to come home. I'm building a retirement home in Nigeria. I will go home soon and connect with the one thing that I cannot get in America. That is, the feeling of motherly love from the ground upon which I stand. Africa wants her long lost son back and I will obey her calling.
Come with me my brothers and sisters. There's plenty of room.
@Junkman2000 , As soon as the drums kicked in I had a headache.
So Junkman2000, best watch out for your 'Junk', you think the USA has crime?
Good luck with that. I am glad someone listened to Trump > "If you don't like it here, you can leave, no one will stop you".
Feel u broe all comments 4rm African American gaves me emotional , hope to hav a good dae coz I jst imagine African without knowing ur roots, Stay blessed Love u ❤

Marvelously done!
And in Angola we have the Mumuwila tribe to this day. Majestic warriors who rejected Portuguese colonisation to the bitter end and won. While the rest of the country was step by step taken over by the Portuguese, the Mumuwilas refused to give in and integrate. Because of their imposing stature, the Portuguese feared them. After trying with no success to integrate them, they had to leave them in peace in their own territory, which remains to this day.
Wow this is powerful. Much love From SA
Please respect preserve and honour them for the sake of the rest of Africa which has been colonized brainwashed Christianized and/or Islamized to hell.
They and their previous generations must have foregone all the modern trappings of westernization, education, political power, technology and leisure to pass on the unique and invaluable attributes of ancient Afrikans heritage, much like the maasai of Kenya and other marginalized demonazide, imppverished and ostracized gems of custom and humanity all over Africa.
OAU ought to fund and sustain the few pockets of authentic black African core values before it dissapears for good.
This dance is just a glimpse CV of the deep well of culture and norms.
Just watching this short clip makes me loose sleep! If I were a billionaire!
Awesome story. I wish more tribes could have been that strong.
And keep doing it as long as YOU ARE HAPPY ❤ GOD bless you 💯
Sou do Brasil 🇧🇷 e amo meus irmãos afro descendentes e sua cultura. sou da Bahia um pedaço da África aqui no Brasil viva a África e todos os seus descendentes I love You african.🌍🖤

Indlondlo Zulu Dancers okay, thank you for the information 😁
to all black people around the world. remeber your ancesteurs were not slave they were king, queens and elite warriors
And slaves (btw I'm South African but saying they weren't slaves is dumb, they might have been king, queens and whatnot but some were still slaves. Although that only applies to Western and Eastern Africans, Southern Black Africans were not enslaved.
@@dinamena.nhantumbo I've heard of slavery in Mozambique which I should have noted as an exception but it is of course not as popular or well known as the Trans Atlantic slave trade. But what the guy above said that black people weren't slaves is a very unintelligent thing to say. Not every black person was an elite warriors or chief or queen and many were indeed slaves so his logic doesn't do it for me.
Btw I'll definitely look in what you said about Xhosa's being kidnapped, I have not heard of that before. And free labour, yeah that was basically unofficial slavery.
@@paddaboi_ Prisoners of War is better
@@paddaboi_ Boer, German, and English colonizers may disagree with you depending on what argument is had at the time.
@@kermitdfrogz elaborate?
Magnificent!
How can anyone not totally appreciate this...
Absolutely magnificent!!!❤
I wish it was easy to have a competition in Africa so that we can see and learn about other African countries traditional dances. We have such talent as Africans.

ZULU MEN ARE STRAIGHT WARRIORS IM SHOOK IN A GOOD WAY!!!!!!!! all the way from U.S.A. chicago IL.

It’s in the culture. It’s in the language and the dance. The Zulu are a warrior tribe that is known to be fearless in war. No hesitation and no fear of death. A Zulu that showed fear in war would be killed by another Zulu. Fear is contagious in battle and has to be eliminated at once. Till this day we Zulu’s are still a people of war. When our king speaks we listen. However there is more to us than just war. “Ubuntu” is a concept where one takes care of their fellow man as they would care for themselves. We therefore are a people that loves peace and values respect of human lives above all else.
Why straight? How do you know? Zulus are human: straight, gay, bisexual, intersex, trans, asexual and more. All can be warriors, can't they?
Still counting the other gang members numbers by the amount of your own gang member getting shot?
Great, go for it.
@@RobertGarcia-wv8vx Did you know that apart from Opioids you can be stimulated by mayonnaise and kill your wife? Wow Pink devils will always troll us but never worry about their decreasing birth rates!
Yes people should be allowed to be proud of our ancestry of all types. I have always looked in awe of the Zulu how magical!! Similar to Island dancers but still unique. Thanks for the gift of this video ,thanks Africa xxx
For Africans and African-descended peoples, music IS dance. That's why they move like they do!!!❤💛💚 This dance is amazing!!
Thank you for keeping traditional Zulu culture and dance alive. 🙏🏾
Everything is mesmerizing in this video. These guys are super talented. Beautiful performance.
