    I posted this comment earlier but maybe you all might not have seen it. But lemme answer some FAQ's
    Q1: Why were they just staring at the music videos? Did they not like it?
    A: Honestly I think it's a difference of culture but this is not the first time I have shown my Korean friends music from Africa, I have shown many friends and they all do the same thing. At first I thought "why aren't they bobbing their heads why aren't they making comments? they must not like it." I came to realize that many of my Korean friends focus deeply on the music and the video so they can carefully assess it. Some of the comments they made were things that even I never thought of before. All of the friends in this video actually really liked the songs and some of them told me to write the names of the songs down for them so they can listen to it more.
    Q2: Why did you pick these particular songs?
    A: One reason is because these are some personal favoites. Although it's not shown in the video, I told my friends that what I showed them is a tidbit of a bigger pool of African music out there. The BIGGEST REASON: I personally wanted to show songs that had meaning and that conveys a message deeper than "girl whine up your waist" or "shake you bum bum" because alot of popular African songs are about that or along those lines. Yes, I want to show them more dancey/lively songs at some point, I wanted to show them something that makes them go "ahhh there is Art coming out of Africa". Considering that the image of non Asian women (especially white and black women) among Koreans is that we are "easy" and "slutty" and considering how impressionable some Koreans can be, I figured a song like, let's say, Daddy Yo by Wizkid would not be a good first choice video. Plus whether people like the songs or not, those of us who listen to African music (mainly Afrobeats, Dancehall, etc) cannot deny that the songs I showed are some pretty popular tracks, no listener of African music can say honestly that Wizkid's Ojuelegba wasn't a hit (shoo Wizkid himself is a big name), or that Tiwa Savage isn't out here killing the game, or that Stonebwoy isn't one of the biggest names in Ghanaian dancehall. Plus Africa is the second biggest continent in the world so one can only imagine how diverse the music is. Please, keep in mind that the most difficult part of making this video was choosing songs. As an African and someone who has listened to African music pretty much all my life, trust me I know there are so many songs I could have shown. But there will be a part 2 coming soon! Just stay tuned and once again thanks everyone for the love.
    p.s. The songs in part 2 consist of 2 songs that were voted for by YOU all. So abeg if your favorite song isn't shown, vote next time.
    ahhh and to ease some hearts out there I will change the title from African -----> West African.

      Anna Nicole Bee nice video good job👍🏽👍🏽. But I'll like to correct you on tiwas song. The song says if she starts talking about all the blessings God has given her she wldnt be able to say it all(e no go end) bcs of the numerous blessings God has given her. I would love to see a part 2 though. Again nice job more grease to ur elbow

      Good job,really enjoyed the video. Quick correction though, you were wrong about the meaning of tiwa savage's song "if i start to talk". The song basically says if i start to talk about all the things God has done for me, there will be no end, in other words,i won't be able to stop talking about God's goodness to me

    Why can't you guys ever be satisfied? This video was supposed to be about exposing Koreans to our style of music, but all some of you are focused on is the fact that she didn't include your countries music. Is she really supposed to include the different 54 countries in Africa's music in a 10-minute video? Maybe she herself hasn't even heard of those songs. She chose what she knew, and from the feedback from her friends, i think she did a damn good job. What you could have done is a request for another video showing a more variety of songs produced in Africa, not badger her about not exposing everyone. On a side note, you did such a good job girl and your Korean is impressive, really enjoyed this video :)

      I'm East African, but part of the reason is that most of us were like "What are these songs?" I knew only one of them. Also, heavily centered around West Africa like the rest of Africa doesn't exist. To me, it just felt like she wasn't exposed to African music... Like, if you've been to an African club, you know what's hot or at the very least, there is Coke Studio Africa (they have a youtube channel) and you can widen your range on different African artists. It's kind of like when I see someone introducing my culture's food and they introduce something no one ever eats except one tribe...

      Rimu N The thing is that to post a video on RUclips is free so there's nothing stopping you from posting your own video. She's from west Africa therefore she'll most likely listen to a majority of West African songs. If you as an East African feel not represented, then YOU represent and show other cultures YOUR music not wait for someone else to do so.

    @ablackgal 7 лет назад +102

    I'm African American and this is the first time I heard someone break down Ghanian music. I honestly do not think it can be compared to music in the States because the messages are completely different. Yeah, there are uplifting/encouraging songs made in the states, but in my opinion, I would rather hear the message relayed within the music in this video. I like how all three singers had a sense of humbleness, gratitude, and appreciation for God's blessing. You will hardly ever hear a song similar to that in the United States unless you on the gospel station. I honestly wish I could understand it, because I would rather listen to those songs more.

Im applaud at how you being Ghanaian from West Africa decided to do a video about your heritage and getting so much push back. Again the nerve of people wanting to change up or redirect your video.
    Ok we get it, Africa is a continent! Why would you being from West Africa introduce your Korean friends South or East African music???? Rather irritated by all these people, continue to do you rep your culture. For all these negative people go direct your own video and rep wherever you're from!

    I think the exposure of African music to your Korean friends was amazing. What I'd like to see next time is a connection made between African music and their music, and with you being American, the connection between African American music and their music. Much of their music, especially in Kpop, hip-hop, and rnb sounds, are in fact influenced by the African American sound. I do much research when it comes to culture and music, and I've discovered that many of the Korean artists work with African American producers. Take Dean for example, I believe he is Korean, but his sound comes from African American influence. I think in showing the derivatives of our (African American and African), and the derivatives of their pop and hip-hop with the intent to educate a culture about ours, and to build a closer and fond relationship between the two cultures would be great. Music has always had a way in connecting people because of the stories told, the emotions shared, and the cultural influences shared.

    Cool video; the translations were good for the most part;
    Ojuelegba is basically talking about Wizkid's background like you said, and more specifically about how the people in Ojuelegba (a poor area where he's from) know how hard life was for him and so how thankful he is.
    Your translation for Tiwa's song was less accurate: instead of Not bragging, Tiwa is actually humble-bragging in this song; she says literally "If I start to say the things God has done for me, my brothers/ sisters the list will never end" and then goes on to list several things for which she is thankful and gives thanks to God (it is mostly a praise song).
    I'd like to see more videos like this, it was cool to watch, if a little cringey at the preconcieved notions of what African music should/ would sound like.

    I like this- we need to get rid of the stigma of generalizing Africa and its people/culture! Though Caro by Wizkid or Hakuna Matata by KCee or Fuse ODG (Ie Antenna or Azonto) would be good ones to do if you do this again :) Eminando by Tiwa Savage too :)

    I think you did a REALLY good job. As a Nigerian, I became even more proud of our music after listening to this(sure we can do better, but I am REALLY proud right now😁). I feel like because of videos like this and little education like this, over time Africans will be able to integrate with the korean culture and vice versa(hope I got my point across😞) . Good job!! Will be looking forward to part 2!

  • @nabajjamilika

    I like your video BUT it would have been better if chose some of the dope music videos like; Pana - Tekno, Korede Bello - Do Like That, Maleek Berry - Kontro, Dotman - Akube, Patoranking - No Kissing Baby ft. Sarkodie, Yemi Alade - Johnny,Sarkodie - Adonai ft. Castro, PSquare - Collabo, PSquare - Shekini and the list goes on.
    Am sorry for saying this but most Korean and some Americans are so ignorant about Africa because they still view Africa as a one country that is undeveloped with people living in bushes and staying with wild animals like the lion.#LOL#
    And the media that should help display the beauty of Africa ONLY shows the Ugly part. With that said...........................................
    I feel like dope music videos show that Africa is not backward as people may think.
    Whenever i show my American friends these videos, they are BLOWN-AWAY by how good they are: #the Quality#Choreography# and #Scenery# I FEEL PROUD WHEN I SEE THEIR JAWS DROOPING WHEN THEY ARE WATCHING THE MUSIC VIDEOS.

    • @iamempressfiresign
      @iamempressfiresign 7 лет назад +17

      This is what she said about how she chose these songs:
      "Q2: Why did you pick these particular songs?
      A: One reason is because these are some personal favoites. Although it's not shown in the video, I told my friends that what I showed them is a tidbit of a bigger pool of African music out there. The BIGGEST REASON: I personally wanted to show songs that had meaning and that conveys a message deeper than "girl whine up your waist" or "shake you bum bum" because alot of popular African songs are about that or along those lines. Yes, I want to show them more dancey/lively songs at some point, I wanted to show them something that makes them go "ahhh there is Art coming out of Africa". Considering that the image of non Asian women (especially white and black women) among Koreans is that we are "easy" and "slutty" and considering how impressionable some Koreans can be, I figured a song like, let's say, Daddy Yo by Wizkid would not be a good first choice video. Plus whether people like the songs or not, those of us who listen to African music (mainly Afrobeats, Dancehall, etc) cannot deny that the songs I showed are some pretty popular tracks, no listener of African music can say honestly that Wizkid's Ojuelegba wasn't a hit (shoo Wizkid himself is a big name), or that Tiwa Savage isn't out here killing the game, or that Stonebwoy isn't one of the biggest names in Ghanaian dancehall. Plus Africa is the second biggest continent in the world so one can only imagine how diverse the music is. Please, keep in mind that the most difficult part of making this video was choosing songs. As an African and someone who has listened to African music pretty much all my life, trust me I know there are so many songs I could have shown. But there will be a part 2 coming soon! Just stay tuned and once again thanks everyone for the love.
      p.s. The songs in part 2 consist of 2 songs that were voted for by YOU all. So abeg if your favorite song isn't shown, vote next time.
      ahhh and to ease some hearts out there I will change the title from African -----> West African."

      joyce bonga I don't know if this comment was directed to me but I don't see how being ignorant can be a good thing, just because it was 'honest' ? No one said there is something wrong with tribes and their traditions/cultures. It's just that his view was ignorant and that's all we said really.

    • @Joy-bl2fg
      @Joy-bl2fg 7 лет назад +32

      I get your point but I am not implying that ignorance is good, I just think we should be understanding of the mistake made instead of finding offense because they are not familiar with the recent music trends in Africa. Everyone says or does ignorant things here and there, we are not knowledgeable about all things, so allowing them to learn and voice their honest pre-existing knowledge (or lack thereof) is helpful to the advancement of African culture.

    • @heyna135
      @heyna135 7 лет назад +53

      joyce bonga I get your point as well, but stating something is ignorant does not mean I'm not understanding or not allowing him to learn. Neither does allowing someone to learn mean accepting stereotypes and generalisations. Of course no one is knowledgeable on everything, and learning about it is great. However when you then continue make stereotypical comments based off of limited knowledge you have, you will be held accountable, since everyone is responsible for the things they say and do.
      Also my comment was not even about the music lol. It just was just about that tribe comment and how 'African' is always used so broadly, as if it's a country.

    Hi Anna Nicole Bee. You are really doing a great job. Beyond the African music comes the language, culture and a lot attached to it. And these are basically the values and contents you are trying to sell to the Asian society. You have been able to instill a great value of African education into them, and this, in a long time to come will be an integral part of their memory. Meanwhile, the Tiwa Savage song explains that words cannot quantify the amount of blessings she has gotten. More like an appraisal to God that HE has done a whole lot for her that she cannot spell out. Keep up the great job and remain cool.

      iamempressfiresign Having just one Ghanaian doesn't change the title. she said African music. African is a continent not a country. so the title should be reacting to Nigerian and Ghanaian music. Also has a person from Nigerian. The songs she choose didn't even make it in Nigeria nobody really like it. Yes, she can't pleased everyone but if that wanted to show African music she would have picked the songs based on review and views. If I put Adele song hello here everyone will like it because it has a lot of views and you can look at the how many like button. Dear you applause you for your effort you put in making this video, you have to also understand that everyone is entitled their own opinion too.

    • @iamempressfiresign
      @iamempressfiresign 7 лет назад +32

      Jennifer Anunobi Nigerian and Ghana is a part of Africa so yes, she was correct to use the term African. I don't expect her to showcase the entire continent in one video. And if she had titled it Nigerian and Ghanaian videos people would STILL be on here complaining "but that doesn't represent all of Ghana or Nigeria so she should have used a different title waah waah..." If she had picked videos YOU deem popular, others would STILL be complaining "why did she pick those? those aren't the best songs blah blah blah" . Isn't it true? So just give her and A for effort for even coming up with the idea and executing it. Instead of criticizing, use it as inspiration to make your own video then we can come on your channel and criticize you. :-)
