I saw this movie one night by pure accident while flipping through the channels back in my first apartment. It came out on TCM, and I will never forget seeing this dance sequence and fascinated I was with it! Great movie, great dancing!!!
@@kikwito9916 we call our “Imana” which is “Amen-Ra” the most powerful god in Egypt. Our greatest king was called “Mutara” which stands for Myth-Ra another Egyptian god. Go figure..
I saw King Solomon's Mines when I was 8. I'm way past that age now and I'll never forget how magnificent, graceful and just soooooooo beautiful they were when they all danced!S. B.
My sister and I would watch the old Tarzan movies and we were memorized by the tribal dancing of these people. Little would I know that one day I would travel to Africa and see these tribal dancers with my own eyes!!
This was the Kings palace, many structures like this existed throughout the Kingdom of “Ruanda-urundi”. King Mutara III was assassinated by the Belgians and his heir exiled to the US, dying a King with no country. The monarchy can be traced by written record over 1000 years to 1000 AD but oral history records it to years B.C.
@@johntrust6217 Thank you for this information. I saw this as a child and one of the scenes was in Kenya of a extinct volcano called Longonot. Cynthia McLaglen
@@johntrust6217 The Belgium King was horrifically involved in ordering terrible massacres, which is something I cannot understand. Surely this as not the start of Hutu and Tutusi massacres in history? Cynthia McLaglen
@@cynthiamclaglen5687 I hope I’m not too late, my notifications seem to not be coming in. Thankyou for this information Cynthia I didn’t know this either.
@@cynthiamclaglen5687 Dear Cynthia unfortunately this was the case. The Belgians found it hard to get their grip on Rwanda. Particularly with the Rwandan monarch in place, it was hard to exert rule over highly established levels of decentralised administration. So they set out to device the old “divide and conquer”. The French later took over and trained the Hutu government and militia to perpetuate the genocide.
I finally realized watching this, that I literally go into a trance whenever I watch African dance... I don't know how but I felt at peace and wound up at the same time with him... with them all, and I was mesmerized.
Guillaume Rusengo Thank you for identifying him. Butera was a amazing dancer. I wish this scene was longer and we saw more of all of the dancers. And the landscape is utterly beautiful.
My goodness!! Goosebumps all over me.... Especially after setting my eyes on our historic Intore dancer; #Butera_bwa_Nturo!! I have always been seeing his pictures but now seen him perform 👏👏👏. My culture, my pride!!
It was very thoughtful of the Film maker to include such a beautiful dance . The African continent had and has a rich cultural heritage. But for this great item, I wouldn't have known this fact half a century ago.
This is beautiful. So much was lost from the African continent. It's down to the modern generation to restore what was lost. The four giants are totally awesome.
So good to find this on RUclips! I can remember having to sit through the entire film, just to watch this part -- tremendous! In her recording of 'The Jungle Line', Joni Mitchell samples the Burundi Warrior Drums; I think maybe there's a connection? 🙏🏼🌹🙏🏽
Back in the 60's, albeit before my time, there was a popular dance called "The Watusi", in the US. I am watching the film now. The elephants getting shot, and the native getting killed is sad, but overall the film is interesting. For the most part, it seems respectful of the continent.
En el Centro Comercial Yumbo, en Gran Canaria, España. Había un señor que hacía un show de transformismo que era de raza negra. Su nombre artístico era Batusi, ahora entiendo que venía de este secuencia de esta película. El pobre señor ya falleció, le recuerdo haciendo su show de playback muy mayor. En paz descanse.
This is an original Tutsi dance. Has since become a Rwandan dance in the name of unification. But it is a dance of the Tutsi tribe originally! And that is a historical fact!
"i whip my hair back n forth i whip my hair back n forth." love seeing traditional african dance and how it correlates with todays dancing. when i taught at an all black school, i realized just how important dance is to black culture. my kids couldnt help but dance. they were just *always dancing.*
ruclips.net/video/owjKTE6WYdEI/видео.htmlN THE THIS OLD FILM OF THE KING SOLOMON MINE´S, we can see this beauty Tutsi ot watutsi dance and his also beauty hair .
Even Blacks in Africa have this infatuation with blond wigs but this time it's the men. Is this where it all started? But I love the dance moves and I believe the dancers after having seen themselves on video no longer have to wonder why their audiences have looked so captivated all these years.
The blonde wigs are culturally trying to mimic a lions mane. It’s the cultural dance in Rwanda. Where the Tutsi were a ruling class during the monarchy error.
As others have pointed out its to mimick the mane of a lion,these ones are overly long i think for the dance,while originally they were shorter and kind of stayed up instead of falling to the back making the warrior seem taller and more intimidating.

I don't think that I have ever seen a more graceful beautiful and powerful dance in my Life.
I recommend you watch Saturday Night Fever

The tall leading dancer is called BUTERA son of chief NTURO son of NYILIMIGABO son of MARARA.
May I also add that this is not a tutsi dance but a rwandan dance. Performed by all.
can I ask you how do you know he's butera?

The dance is a culture dance to Rwandan people not batutsi😂😂😂
At 1:01 he really starts feeling himself 🤣
RWANDA 🇷🇼 🇷🇼🇷🇼🇷🇼🇷🇼🇷🇼🇷🇼🇷🇼🇷🇼
great film, saw it as a lad ,no political correctness ,these guys are just fantastic all we have is the Morris men
Intwatwa.pas tutsi dance

How tall was the lead dancer? 2:44
7ft. Im tall but this guy taller than me
NICE.
This style of dance is for twa ethnic group from instruments to the melodies.
Warrior's dance ❤
One my all time favorite dance scenes
That's Tutsi, not Tusti. The Tutsi are from the "great lakes" region of central Africa - Rwanda / Burundi / Democratic Republic of Congo (Zaire)
Great movie,just renTeD it.Some of the scenes Are bReAtHtAkinG.
This one is a wow.
❤And the movie 😢
Tutsi dance?
There is no Tutsi in Rwanda all we are Rwandans furthermore Tutsi,Hutu, Twa were like level of ikiciro cy’ubudehe
Rwanda 🇷🇼
nothing but respect for the culture, but am i the only one that gets creeped out by this dance?
Who is here in 2025 and wishing to #VisitRwanda now
This is a rwandese dance not Tutsis dance.
Rwandese Dancing not Tutsi
Are they trying to mimic a particular animal?
A crane taking off, I have been told
yes a cow cows called inyambo
C est chez toi au Portugal où pous t envoyé ça de chez lui… tu gardes bien ce souvenir pour les 3 garçons
It's not a tutsi dance...its a Rwandan dance.
@Nick Stiso im tutsi from Rwanda and i know this better than you.
@Nick Stiso hutu, tutsi and twa...we have one dance.
@terminal lance Rwanda is made up of hutu ,tutsi and twa. actually twa are the best dancers of all
This is an original Tutsi dance.
Has since become a Rwandan dance in the name of unification.
But it is a dance of the Tutsi tribe originally!
And that is a historical fact!
@@abocas No such thing as Tutsi tribe,it was more of an occupation/class.
Think Kshatriya in Bharat or Knightly class in medieval Europe.

Right here King 👑 Solomon mines bingo kingdom of Judah
So sorry the Tutsis were murdered by the Hutus. Hope they stay inside their own country.
Butera bwa Nturo sha
bro they vibin
Mr Butera
Wakanda
Totally agree
Butere bwa Nturo ni intore pe,
ham
That dance is super scary very freaky
no it's not 😂🤣
They look as if they are wearing a wig of a blond white woman.😅
It mimics a lion's mane, the then warrior/ now military symbol of the country.
Even Blacks in Africa have this infatuation with blond wigs but this time it's the men. Is this where it all started? But I love the dance moves and I believe the dancers after having seen themselves on video no longer have to wonder why their audiences have looked so captivated all these years.
The blonde wigs are culturally trying to mimic a lions mane. It’s the cultural dance in Rwanda. Where the Tutsi were a ruling class during the monarchy error.
That's a lion's mane and its symbolizes bravery.
As others have pointed out its to mimick the mane of a lion,these ones are overly long i think for the dance,while originally they were shorter and kind of stayed up instead of falling to the back making the warrior seem taller and more intimidating.
@@michaelngoga9193- It's totally awesome and quite physical they must be very fit.
artificial dance for the moovie.
El mas alto hace dudar que los demas sean niños.
Intore dance is not tutsi dance since all Rwandans have the same dance
