I am from Honduras 🇭🇳 I lived there until I was 17 years old and then I moved to the USA. Its really impressed to see the Garífuna culture. Great job 👏
After you see Afro-caribbeans, Afro-Latinos, and Africans you cannot deny that we are one people. We could change the world if we only realized that and start living together in oneness. I look at those ladies preparing food and saw my grandma back in Jamaica. Only difference is the language
We're not one ppl. Are Japanese and Chinese one ppl? Did they come from the same Dynasty? No. They are on the same continent and are brethren, but they are different. They do not identify as "one ppl" and still understand the need to have a united front. We can be different (and are) and still unify without throwing false narratives around to to accomplish this.
@@diwi5823 Hello, actually the Han Chinese, Japanese and Koreans share one common ancestor tracing to the Shang Dynasty in Chinese history. The migration/break away of groups happened about 3,000-3,600 years ago. The genetic makeup of these groups differ by 1%, which I believe is the smallest percentage of any groups of any groups studied so far. So they are extremely close genetically speaking, though their cultures differ in this modern age , there are also some similarities. 50%-60% of Japanese and Korean languages come from Chinese. At one time Koreans wrote in Chinese characters. Koreans invented their system of writing around 1441.

Hey are there any Garifuna people there?...St. Vincent is the Island we were exiled from... I met a black guy from St. Vincent but he said he was not Garifuna...
AS African i always feel deep sadness and anger when i see how my people are are discriminated outside home . I love u so much diaspora and if one day u wanna visit home please u are welcom . Brother from Senegal .
We love you back. Been to east Africa and best believe my next trips to the continent will be the west and south. It was an amazing feeling hoping there. I feel in my heart the continent is where I will be relocating to in the near future.
Wow oo, their way of dancing is just like the Lorma/Loma tribe in Guinea and Liberia, West Africa. And what surprises me most is their flag color. I am from the Loma/Lorma tribe in West Africa, and our traditional color is Black, White and Yellow. Even now there is a Loma/Lorma musical band in Guinea, West Africa, they still wear Black, White and Yellow clothes during their performances and other days. Thank you Brother for this video. They are our brothers and sisters living far from the mother land.
If one African can believe that the treatment of our people is sacrifice for the greatness that God hold for our race. I have the conviction that we have the prospect of becoming the super human race holding the beacon of humanity. Thanks, Ace keep going.
Our people were actually transported to west Africa.They were dropped off there.The invaders come to Americas taking our people back.Learn more about the travels they made here and realize how they kept going back.They were taking us as they go.Their are no traces of people coming directly from west Africa to the Americas EVER.The people in west Africa retained more of the culture due to no outside negative influence from foreigners.They were dropped off and did not have to continue dealing with the others like we do living amongst them.Any group living amongst the non melanated will eventually lose their identity,language and customs.We get to relaxed and careless being around people who have no actual origin.We were on every piece of land and still are today while the others are not.The out of Africa theory was explaining how their were multiple negro groups if you really research the theory and how it explains people coming out of Africa.Once you learn about the slc24a5 pale skin mutation you will then put two and two together to see what the out of Africa theory really is.
I'm from Nigeria. My family and I had the opportunity to hangout and dine with some Garifuna people during a cruise stop in Roatan. We found out so many similarities between them and my culture in the south south of Nigeria. It really was an incredible experience. We felt like we were communing with distant family.

Bro, you finally made it. These are my people thank you for showing my people to the world the garifuna tribes they are located in Belize Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and United States. What I know about my people. They are very unique set of tribes from Africa west Africa, mainly Ghana, Nigeria Benin but for you to show this to the world bro, I appreciate this and you will have my subscribe and I’m like and I will share🫡
I’m super proud to be a GARIFUNA woman….. 🖤🤍💛. I love Honduras, enjoyed visiting myself. If you can, go over to Livingston (Labuga), Guatemala. I’m sure you will love our beautiful island.
That " Pan de coco" we call " Coconut Bake" here in Trinidad. It's one of my favorite things to eat. I love how the Garifuna are keeping the culture alive. Garifuna are also found in Guatemala
Ace you were born to do this. videos like these touch me. I just can’t imagine anyone of African ancestry not being touched and feel connected. This is a huge part of who we are. Thank you. 👌👌👌
THANK YOU ACE FINALLY SOMEBODY TRAVEL TO HONDURAS THIS IS THE HOME OF MY MOTHER !!!! BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY AND PEOPLE !! LOT OF PEOPLE DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE AFRO CULTURE THERE!!!

@@Abstract.Noir414Theirs not, why you think it's in NYC. THEY try and make it a thing 😂 but actual Latinos laugh at it, it's dumb like Latinx. That's gringo stuff
One of the reasons that we love you is that you stand for all cultures, especially African. You give people around the world the different aspects of worldwide culture they need to understand and appreciate, and know to the fullest. Much love, respect and honor to you Ace!
Garifuna, also known as Garinagu, are the descendants of an African-indigenous population from the Caribbean island of St Vincent who were exiled to the Honduran coast in the eighteenth century and subsequently moved to Belize. Garifuna mainly live on the coast but are also very present in towns and villages.
I'm originally from honduras... When he started eating that bread or pan de coco.. let me tell y'all.... the flavor, the texture, specialty when it's hot.. omg... the best bread... and a good cup of coffee
Thank you for sharing black Aboriginal culture from the corners of the world we can't reach. And know we always pray for your safety every where you go! Know that the love and unity you display with the world is greatly appreciated. Much ♥️♥️🙏
What I meN is they may have came from Africa, but after long time in America they are no longer African. Have you ever researched OLMEC HEADS ? THAT WILL ANSWER YOU QUESTIONS
Aboriginal??? Y’all need to learn the true definition of the words talk use instead of sound incompetent and uneducated! These are Africans in Honduras. They are not indigenous or even black indigenous mixed
This is a very nice I wish the ladies sent you to the coast where the Garifuna Villages are. The ladies in this video didn’t explain the Garifuna culture very good but explained more of there problems today in Honduras. I am Garifuna American with Garifuna parents from Triunfo De la Cruz Honduras. The Culture is way more authentic on the coast where they only speak Garifuna and still Live off the sea in over 50 Villages along the coast
I appreciate what you do keep doing it because it is good to see Black people all over the world not just Africa, you are so right. Not to take anything away from Africa but your videos are truly a history lesson❤
THANK YOU BRO.. !!! I had the pleasure of spend time with Garifuna in San Juan and Tela 20 years ago..! I could never put into words how much love they showed irrespective of their struggles with the government over land..! They are us and we are them…! BlessUp Bro.! This one gets 10 thumbs up and multiple shares..! 🎉
Great video I'm from St.Vincent where we have the Garifuna culture going strong also I'm proud of my people i hope one day Garifunas from all over the world would meet to experience something like this. Thank you Ace❤
Hey Ace, you are doing a great job enlightening us. This is such an eye opener for an African like me. These are my people taken from Africa 100 years ago, but our culture and music lives on. God Bless African people displaced around the world.
I feel the same as a Senegalese . This documentary made me emotional. It's so incredible how much of the African culture and customs they still maintained despite being away from the motherland.
Man Im in love with your channel. Everytime I see fellow Africans from across the oceans my heart just melts. What a beautiful people 😢😢😢😢.. Much love from Azania ( so-called) South Africa )❤❤❤❤❤
Bro if you make it to Belize I can put you in touch with my dad he is a linguist and anthropologist. He can give you a bit of Garifuna History. Also the President of National Garifuna Council in Belize is a personal friend of mine
Ace is just different, not afraid to go where others wouldn't or just don't care about . Your showing/telling the stories of these people through this channel which is beautiful. Thanks
That gifiti is like " Agbo" in Youruba language. Folks still drink stuff like that in many parts of Africa today. It probably just contains different types of herbs It's very common in Nigeria, South Africa
As a student at Columbia University, I'm currently enrolled in an Endangered Language Linguistics course where I'm required to conduct a research paper. Your insights on how Diaspora impacts communities were incredibly enlightening. Additionally, being of Honduran descent, I've never had the opportunity to visit the country, making this exploration of the culture even more meaningful. Thank you for sharing such valuable knowledge!
The Garifuna are the descendants of indigenous Arawak, Kalinago (Island Carib), and Afro-Caribbean people. The founding population of the Central American diaspora, estimated at 2,500 to 5,000 persons, were transplanted to the Central American coast from the Commonwealth Caribbean island of Saint Vincent,[7] which was known to the Garinagu as Yurumein,[8] in the Windward Islands in the British West Indies in the Lesser Antilles. Small Garifuna communities still live in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. The Garifuna diaspora abroad includes communities in Honduras, in the United States, and in Belize.

Amazing as an African living in United States i was happy to watch my cousins leaving and maintaining theirs cultures my dream are to visit one of those side i exchange some africa culture whit them how we play and dance thanks for sharing.....
you definitely missed the title lol.. these aren't Africans theses are Americans so you cant be exchanging African cultures lol... we have our own cultures here.
@vonindigenous9722 We are not Americans Our ancestors arrived on the island of St. Vincent in 1632, that is, 142 years before the United States declared its independence, practically the English were just beginning to colonize the United States. 😅
Ace, your video truly captured the energy and spirit of the Garífuna community. I love how you managed to showcase the richness of their culture and the warmth of their people. As a Garífuna myself, I often wonder if the world knows about us, as we tend to be hidden away throughout Honduras. Thank you for sharing our story and connecting the dots around the world. The intro and background music are perfect for representing the essence of the Garífuna culture and your channel's content. I absolutely love everything about your content! Keep on sharing and celebrating this beautiful culture!
Wow! Being from America and actually witnessing so many different black latino cultures is beautiful. It's crazy how white washed the world is 😔. The dancing, instruments and singing in this video, touched my spirit. ❤💪
Bro the thing is in latam is not as divided like in America. The black Latinos they just say were there were born and it is not because they deny were there originally from the thing is us Latinos we grow up differently we love our country even tho the past is bad but the thing is we need to look to the future not to the past. I am Mexican indigenous but my great great grandma was black but we don’t care we are just mexicans I am brown indigenous but my auntie and some of my uncles also were black. The thing is in Mexico there is no pure black neither white or brown we all have little of everything so that’s why we all are one forget the past and move forward 🤷🏽🇲🇽 and one more thing the dance it is not African decent it is honduran dance it is called punta. Same thing with bachata salsa etc they are a mix of everything that’s is why the latin culture is the best 💪🏽
Your posts are really appreciated. I'm keen to know about my black brothers and sisters living on the South American and Central American main lands. So much of the information has been hidden from us. Your posts are doing greatly to open up these cultures to us and the world. Appreciated, brother!!
So many garifuna in Houston! The songs and culture are unmatched! The story of survival! And to hold on to what was almost lost to slavery is an amazing journey!! Long live the garifuna!
I am from St.Vincent and the Grenadines, the ancestral home of the Garifuna people. I'm really proud about this Video ACE. Thanks for showcasing the Garifuna culture!
@GUMMi THY XII It was an island with Native Americans who were exterminated by the English Europeans and populated with Africans. The Africans rebelled and were expelled to the Bay Islands. There they received asylum from the Spanish Europeans to settle the coast of Central America as long as they protected it from English incursions. That's history buddy.
@@xhorxheetxeberria-td1hu I think they know that they come from Africa, they’re just explaining where his/her people have settled for the last few centuries, buddy.
@Mr robot No buddy. See, you're not from Honduras. These people got the government to call them INDIGENOUS, which only applied to Native Americans and not Africans. Because they claimed to be Indigenous to America and nothing to do with Africa. And if you tell them they're African, they get mad. They say they're the Indigenous people of America and were here before 1492, even though history and archeology doesn't support that. So why did they ask to be called officially Indigenous? Because Indigenous lands and people are protected. They didn't have legal ownership of the lands they lived on since the late 1700's. And foreign corporations wanted those lands for hotels and resorts along the Caribbean sea coast of Honduras. They weren't going to get a cut. Now they will by being designated Indigenous people even though they aren't really Indigenous to America. If you aren't informed, don't comment.
That last part in the video with the lightning and rain . The words and that feeling , my tears flowed . I wasnt even crying , but my tears just ran down my face without crying. I think I understood how you felt . Sending you love and a big mama bear hug. Love you brother .
Love this video 1000% ace thank you for showcasing our Garifuna Culture i hope you can make it out to Labuga also known as Livingston, Guatemala where garifunas are living as well.
Muchas gracias Ace por visitar nuestra cultura. De nuestra cultura hondureña 🇭🇳 Thank you very much Ace for visiting our culture. of our Honduran culture.🇭🇳 😊😊😊
It's great to see my people on the map now. I'm Garifuna and proud. Under the umbrella of Afro-Latinos, the Garifuna have their own language, gastronomy, and spirituality.
Wow. That was pretty dope. Love the way Luisa broke it down. Its sad that they are slowly losing their culture/way of life! I saw the entire video. I could feel your experience and excitement through the video! Blessings my brother! Maybe we you start a donation for their school/community ⁉️💯🙏✊
Thankyou for sharing this, I found it quite emotional, the singing and dancing is very similar to Nigerian (Yoruba) dialect,. Bless up and keep doing the fantastic work which you are extremely privileged and proud to be doing.
You finally did it Ace much love and respect to you brother....You have met The black Garifunas in Honduras my people....Bravooo Ace 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Thank you for bringing joy to my life and for Showing the Garifunas culture to the World...May God bless you Ace 🙏🙏☺☺☺☺
Yes!!! I enjoyed this video, Miss Luisa is correct. When I was growing up, the people in the neighborhood stuck together. People helped there neighbors, I remember many days when my grandmother would feed someone, or let them people stay with us until they found a place to live. I mean a whole family, mother,father, sons and daughters in law. people would be sleeping all over the house. My grandmother was good for that. I remember when you could leave your door open and no one would go in your house. We use to hang our clothes line at our floor landing Window, and no one ever bothered the clothes. Miss Luisa is correct, we did lose a lot.
You doing a fantastic job Ace. I'm West African (Ghana) and I sincerely appreciate your work. I've lived in the West a while back. Very happy to see your videos of our people living in places i never dreamed they would. You truly putting the pieces together. this step is the first and the most important. Africa is the motherland and we really like to see where all our people are. You will be welcomed anytime you visit the continent after this phase of your work.
Shootout to all the Natives that embraced & adopted prisoners of war (enslaved Africans) into their family and we lived and fought side by side. I’ll never not give my Native side credit for their contribution for my existence today ❤️
@@adrean3693 a lot natives in usa helped the europeans enslave Africans...now there's a trend of miseducated black americans saying they dont have any African ancestry and are the real natives of the americas
Ace, this video is one of the best. Your interviewing style made everyone comfortable in telling their story. Nobody else is doing this topic and style of storytelling. For everyone watching this “ If you don’t know now you know”!
Hi Ace, I learn so much from your shows. I am African - Ghanaian to be precise. You don't have to go to Africa if you choose to explore the African diaspora outside Africa. Other RUclips do that. I find the entire diaspora exciting both on the continent and around the rest of the world. Such beautiful African cultures all around the world ❤ 😊
I'm thoroughly excited to learn our people are all over...like you said, not just Africa. The food, the culture, the hospitality just everything. Absolutely loved the experience Ace!

@@Abstract.Noir414Theirs not, why you think it's in NYC. THEY try and make it a thing 😂 but actual Latinos laugh at it, it's dumb like Latinx. That's gringo stuff
ACE .. Thanks for visiting my country 🇭🇳.Please don’t leave with out Visiting one of our beautiful Island’s.Roatan,Utica,Guanaja,
This one brought tears to my eyes my brotha! The ending with the rain, thunder and music was electrifying. Keep up the good work.
I love this! Honduras 🇭🇳 is on my bucket list now thanks to you Ace! Keep up the great work ❤
One of the reasons that we love you is that you stand for all cultures, especially African. You give people around the world the different aspects of worldwide culture they need to understand and appreciate, and know to the fullest. Much love, respect and honor to you Ace!
Garifuna, also known as Garinagu, are the descendants of an African-indigenous population from the Caribbean island of St Vincent who were exiled to the Honduran coast in the eighteenth century and subsequently moved to Belize. Garifuna mainly live on the coast but are also very present in towns and villages.
Some of my families are garifuna from St Vincent and the Grenadines.
True, and the majority of the Garifunas are in Honduras, and the first town created by Garifunas is called Punta Gorda in Roatan Honduras.
That's right, they are native to Africa and not America.
Yep thankyou la punta baby.🇻🇨🇭🇳🇧🇿🇬🇹🌟👌
@@mfun503 Native to Africa ? Caribs and Arawaks are native to SVG tf you going with native to Africa

Thank you for sharing black Aboriginal culture from the corners of the world we can't reach. And know we always pray for your safety every where you go! Know that the love and unity you display with the world is greatly appreciated. Much ♥️♥️🙏
That's not Aboriginal culture but African culture
@@ohukwh606hgghk it is not African they may have came from Africa long before slavery but these people are aboriginal to South America.
What I meN is they may have came from Africa, but after long time in America they are no longer African. Have you ever researched OLMEC HEADS ? THAT WILL ANSWER YOU QUESTIONS
@@blacknproud3886 we have heard you,they are not Africans infact we are not claiming them
Aboriginal??? Y’all need to learn the true definition of the words talk use instead of sound incompetent and uneducated! These are Africans in Honduras. They are not indigenous or even black indigenous mixed
This is a very nice I wish the ladies sent you to the coast where the Garifuna Villages are. The ladies in this video didn’t explain the Garifuna culture very good but explained more of there problems today in Honduras. I am Garifuna American with Garifuna parents from Triunfo De la Cruz Honduras. The Culture is way more authentic on the coast where they only speak Garifuna and still Live off the sea in over 50 Villages along the coast
I'm in Toronto,Canada and my mother made everything that these lovely women made! My mother's parents were from Trinidad and Tobago and St.Vincent.
This one almost made me tear up, it's been so long since I've been back and miss it. Thanks Ace
I appreciate what you do keep doing it because it is good to see Black people all over the world not just Africa, you are so right. Not to take anything away from Africa but your videos are truly a history lesson❤
THANK YOU BRO.. !!! I had the pleasure of spend time with Garifuna in San Juan and Tela 20 years ago..! I could never put into words how much love they showed irrespective of their struggles with the government over land..! They are us and we are them…! BlessUp Bro.! This one gets 10 thumbs up and multiple shares..! 🎉
So happy that your in Honduras soaking up the culture and enjoying the gastronomy of the land.
Great video I'm from St.Vincent where we have the Garifuna culture going strong also I'm proud of my people i hope one day Garifunas from all over the world would meet to experience something like this. Thank you Ace❤
Hey Ace, you are doing a great job enlightening us. This is such an eye opener for an African like me. These are my people taken from Africa 100 years ago, but our culture and music lives on. God Bless African people displaced around the world.
400 years not 100 years
I feel the same as a Senegalese . This documentary made me emotional. It's so incredible how much of the African culture and customs they still maintained despite being away from the motherland.
Thanks for sharing our African culture and diverse places. And yes we are everywhere and we are everyone! Thank you ace always on time!
Much respect for Africa. But we are aboriginal to America
@@blacknproud3886no you're not. 🤣🤣🤣😂
@@youtubeaccount5356 yes they are
@@blacknproud3886absolutely. I am African and you all are American. We are not the same people at all. I am GREAT. My blood is pure.
@@bernardwade8096there not aboriginal Americans you fool, they are Americans but aboriginals are the Amerindians of the Americas.
Man Im in love with your channel. Everytime I see fellow Africans from across the oceans my heart just melts. What a beautiful people 😢😢😢😢.. Much love from Azania ( so-called) South Africa )❤❤❤❤❤
wow..I had no idea that South Africa was called Azania
We all are not african pls stop that
Big up ACE. Great job. Greetings to Our beautiful black communities. Watching from Nigeria 🇳🇬
Very proud this is HONDURAS 🇭🇳💪 . You hit it, this is a Home run.
Bro if you make it to Belize I can put you in touch with my dad he is a linguist and anthropologist. He can give you a bit of Garifuna History. Also the President of National Garifuna Council in Belize is a personal friend of mine
Ace is just different, not afraid to go where others wouldn't or just don't care about . Your showing/telling the stories of these people through this channel which is beautiful. Thanks
That gifiti is like " Agbo" in Youruba language. Folks still drink stuff like that in many parts of Africa today. It probably just contains different types of herbs It's very common in Nigeria, South Africa
As a student at Columbia University, I'm currently enrolled in an Endangered Language Linguistics course where I'm required to conduct a research paper. Your insights on how Diaspora impacts communities were incredibly enlightening. Additionally, being of Honduran descent, I've never had the opportunity to visit the country, making this exploration of the culture even more meaningful. Thank you for sharing such valuable knowledge!
The Garifuna are the descendants of indigenous Arawak, Kalinago (Island Carib), and Afro-Caribbean people. The founding population of the Central American diaspora, estimated at 2,500 to 5,000 persons, were transplanted to the Central American coast from the Commonwealth Caribbean island of Saint Vincent,[7] which was known to the Garinagu as Yurumein,[8] in the Windward Islands in the British West Indies in the Lesser Antilles. Small Garifuna communities still live in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. The Garifuna diaspora abroad includes communities in Honduras, in the United States, and in Belize.
Clearly African is the default of all.
@@terradaktal8318 I am from St Vincent. They are my people. There is a big history why the escape slaves combine with the Native people.
@@mack38412 yep I'm garifuna too my father is from st.vincent born and raised and his father is garifuna people who are garifuna are are afro and carib mixed and the mother land is st.vincent and the grenadines Youloumain.🇻🇨🇧🇿🇭🇳🇬🇹
Most of all Garifuna people DO NOT descend or have African blood they are true Americans
@@transportcjohnson544 that can be a possibility 🤔 lol but thats what the history says but some things can be lies as well.
This episode is my favourite By far I was overwhelmed and emotional to see the African tradition is still alive and kicking!, keep the good work going
So... you’re just going to throw their indigenous ancestry away to fit your narrative ? 🤔 you’re just a disrespectful person.
Beautiful people, thank you so much for sharing the culture.
We have seen you become a documentarian right before our eyes, so proud of your commitment !!!
THIS‼️💯💪🏽
Amazing as an African living in United States i was happy to watch my cousins leaving and maintaining theirs cultures my dream are to visit one of those side i exchange some africa culture whit them how we play and dance thanks for sharing.....
you definitely missed the title lol.. these aren't Africans theses are Americans so you cant be exchanging African cultures lol... we have our own cultures here.
@@vonindigenous9722 there are not américain..they are African
@vonindigenous9722 We are not Americans Our ancestors arrived on the island of St. Vincent in 1632, that is, 142 years before the United States declared its independence, practically the English were just beginning to colonize the United States. 😅
Thanks for showing the world our beautiful country. 🇭🇳 🙌
Glad you met my peoples 🟨⬜️⬛️
Thank you ACE
Love it so many elements from Togo,Benin, Ivory Coast, Nigeria.........Lots of West African Influence love love it, thank you so much for sharing
True,i am from ivory coast and i saw myself cryng
Ace, your video truly captured the energy and spirit of the Garífuna community. I love how you managed to showcase the richness of their culture and the warmth of their people. As a Garífuna myself, I often wonder if the world knows about us, as we tend to be hidden away throughout Honduras. Thank you for sharing our story and connecting the dots around the world. The intro and background music are perfect for representing the essence of the Garífuna culture and your channel's content. I absolutely love everything about your content! Keep on sharing and celebrating this beautiful culture!
do u yall acknowledge your African heritage
I agree. Nice of you to drop those compliments too. Blessings to you and all the other Garifuna people.
@@matrix2030xof course we acknowledge our African heritage ❤
I’m a garifuna from Honduras. Thank you bro❤!
Just to say thanks to share an Amazing document from Honduras.😍
Wow! Being from America and actually witnessing so many different black latino cultures is beautiful. It's crazy how white washed the world is 😔. The dancing, instruments and singing in this video, touched my spirit. ❤💪
Bro the thing is in latam is not as divided like in America. The black Latinos they just say were there were born and it is not because they deny were there originally from the thing is us Latinos we grow up differently we love our country even tho the past is bad but the thing is we need to look to the future not to the past. I am Mexican indigenous but my great great grandma was black but we don’t care we are just mexicans I am brown indigenous but my auntie and some of my uncles also were black. The thing is in Mexico there is no pure black neither white or brown we all have little of everything so that’s why we all are one forget the past and move forward 🤷🏽🇲🇽 and one more thing the dance it is not African decent it is honduran dance it is called punta. Same thing with bachata salsa etc they are a mix of everything that’s is why the latin culture is the best 💪🏽
@Sj24171 it's hard to move on when racial profiling still exist.
1 of my best friends is from Guatemala 🇬🇹 and he is and speaks garifuna
Omg how amazing!!!! Guatemala make some delicious hot sauce too
Ain't no party like a garifuna party cause a garifuna party don't stop 🛑
Your posts are really appreciated. I'm keen to know about my black brothers and sisters living on the South American and Central American main lands. So much of the information has been hidden from us. Your posts are doing greatly to open up these cultures to us and the world. Appreciated, brother!!
So many garifuna in Houston! The songs and culture are unmatched! The story of survival! And to hold on to what was almost lost to slavery is an amazing journey!! Long live the garifuna!
In Houston texas?
@@Monaedeezy yep
@@MonaedeezyLod Angeles too
I'm African from Ghana but live in the US. I am so impressed with your videos that I've subscribed .l have learned a lot about these people. Thanks
I am from St.Vincent and the Grenadines, the ancestral home of the Garifuna people. I'm really proud about this Video ACE. Thanks for showcasing the Garifuna culture!
Ancestral land? They are from Africa. That's their Ancestral land. They barely spent anytime on Saint Vincent.
@@xhorxheetxeberria-td1hu What are u talking about with st Vincent there would be no garifuna
@GUMMi THY XII It was an island with Native Americans who were exterminated by the English Europeans and populated with Africans. The Africans rebelled and were expelled to the Bay Islands. There they received asylum from the Spanish Europeans to settle the coast of Central America as long as they protected it from English incursions. That's history buddy.
@@xhorxheetxeberria-td1hu I think they know that they come from Africa, they’re just explaining where his/her people have settled for the last few centuries, buddy.
@Mr robot No buddy. See, you're not from Honduras. These people got the government to call them INDIGENOUS, which only applied to Native Americans and not Africans. Because they claimed to be Indigenous to America and nothing to do with Africa. And if you tell them they're African, they get mad. They say they're the Indigenous people of America and were here before 1492, even though history and archeology doesn't support that. So why did they ask to be called officially Indigenous? Because Indigenous lands and people are protected. They didn't have legal ownership of the lands they lived on since the late 1700's. And foreign corporations wanted those lands for hotels and resorts along the Caribbean sea coast of Honduras. They weren't going to get a cut. Now they will by being designated Indigenous people even though they aren't really Indigenous to America. If you aren't informed, don't comment.
That last part in the video with the lightning and rain . The words and that feeling , my tears flowed . I wasnt even crying , but my tears just ran down my face without crying. I think I understood how you felt . Sending you love and a big mama bear hug. Love you brother .
It was spiritual
Love this video 1000% ace thank you for showcasing our Garifuna Culture i hope you can make it out to Labuga also known as Livingston, Guatemala where garifunas are living as well.
Yes sister…. He would love it
@@CArzu-wo7tz did you get to watch the video??
Muchas gracias Ace por visitar nuestra cultura. De nuestra cultura hondureña 🇭🇳
Thank you very much Ace for visiting our culture. of our Honduran culture.🇭🇳
😊😊😊
It's great to see my people on the map now. I'm Garifuna and proud. Under the umbrella of Afro-Latinos, the Garifuna have their own language, gastronomy, and spirituality.
Wow. That was pretty dope. Love the way Luisa broke it down. Its sad that they are slowly losing their culture/way of life! I saw the entire video. I could feel your experience and excitement through the video! Blessings my brother!
Maybe we you start a donation for their school/community ⁉️💯🙏✊
Thankyou for sharing this, I found it quite emotional, the singing and dancing is very similar to Nigerian (Yoruba) dialect,. Bless up and keep doing the fantastic work which you are extremely privileged and proud to be doing.
You finally did it Ace much love and respect to you brother....You have met The black Garifunas in Honduras my people....Bravooo Ace 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Thank you for bringing joy to my life and for Showing the Garifunas culture to the World...May God bless you Ace 🙏🙏☺☺☺☺
my favorite kind of black folk.. I miss you Honduras !
Thank you for sharing. I liked and shared publicly on “X”. Sending love from Los Angeles, CA.
RIP Dr. Sebi❤️
Yes!!! I enjoyed this video, Miss Luisa is correct. When I was growing up, the people in the neighborhood stuck together. People helped there neighbors, I remember many days when my grandmother would feed someone, or let them people stay with us until they found a place to live. I mean a whole family, mother,father, sons and daughters in law. people would be sleeping all over the house. My grandmother was good for that. I remember when you could leave your door open and no one would go in your house. We use to hang our clothes line at our floor landing Window, and no one ever bothered the clothes. Miss Luisa is correct, we did lose a lot.
You doing a fantastic job Ace. I'm West African (Ghana) and I sincerely appreciate your work. I've lived in the West a while back. Very happy to see your videos of our people living in places i never dreamed they would. You truly putting the pieces together. this step is the first and the most important. Africa is the motherland and we really like to see where all our people are. You will be welcomed anytime you visit the continent after this phase of your work.
Shootout to all the Natives that embraced & adopted prisoners of war (enslaved Africans) into their family and we lived and fought side by side. I’ll never not give my Native side credit for their contribution for my existence today ❤️
Aborigine Americans are still here reclassified to colored negro black African American etc most of us are pure bloodlines not of African descent
@@adrean3693 a lot natives in usa helped the europeans enslave Africans...now there's a trend of miseducated black americans saying they dont have any African ancestry and are the real natives of the americas
You are right. It is like the culture in Ghana, Togo and Benin. I am from Benin. Yes, they will be welcomed anytime the visite Africa.
Much respect for Africa. But we are aboriginal to America
Ace, this video is one of the best. Your interviewing style made everyone comfortable in telling their story. Nobody else is doing this topic and style of storytelling. For everyone watching this “ If you don’t know now you know”!
🎯💯
Hi Ace, I learn so much from your shows. I am African - Ghanaian to be precise. You don't have to go to Africa if you choose to explore the African diaspora outside Africa. Other RUclips do that. I find the entire diaspora exciting both on the continent and around the rest of the world. Such beautiful African cultures all around the world ❤ 😊
Much respect to Africa. But we are aboriginal to America 🇺🇸
@@blacknproud3886much respect to the aboriginals of America 🇺🇸 but we African Americans are African.
Eten sen!!!
Another great video brotha! Can't wait to see the next video.
The ladies are so friendly & ❤you showcasing their bussines🇭🇳🇭🇳🇭🇳👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I'm thoroughly excited to learn our people are all over...like you said, not just Africa. The food, the culture, the hospitality just everything. Absolutely loved the experience Ace!
They’re African descendants
I'm concerned about the influx of diseases!!!!
@@piyesankara890Yes, they are, you can see them calling Africans in the interview. They know that themselves.
THIS is why I want to travel to Central/South America. To see and meet my people there.
Ace I enjoy your videos today I have a suscriber
Watching them dance reminds me of voodoo in Haiti & new Orleans! I love my black people! We're beautiful! AFRICANS POPPING! 🇭🇳✊🏿
The garifunas have different genres of music and different dances also...no voodoo though
I'm so proud of the work your doing by showing us the Africans of South America ❤
honduras isn’t in south america
Central America buddy
Shalom Ace, Watching Dis One Video Was So Spiritual Yet, Beautiful. YOU Had Me Crying With Tears Of Joy, Gladness You Did Our Culture 👉🏾 Well. All Praises To The Most High Almighty 🤲🏾 ...
