Im a proud African from Congo, I get emotional when I see my African culture ❤️
I cried just from seeing this video!! Great culture♡ great people, I am a salvadoran,, always have been interested in the central África countries
Nobody else in the world can move like the gorgeous African people. Or drum or sing. They are spirit lifting.
Just imagine how many hundreds of years ago these same dances/ music /songs were performed by their ancestors....So beautiful.....
if you look to the african dances with bells on the feet, from South Africa till Senegal, and still part of the culture of Marroons on the Maroni ( Guyane France, Surinam). They call it Wassa.
@@ahmedbolbol9243 stop preaching this nonsense here
@@cauwenberghsroeland8607 yes thats true im from suriname
More thousands of years ago
And we still love them
If you guys search up Congolese music from the 60s and 70s you would understand where Mexican music originated from.
Very true
Your talking about salsa? That’s Cuban. Please learn the difference of nations and music genres.
@@iseytheteethsnake6290 right. He’s just talking shit. Salsa been around since early 1900s as well. Unless he’s talking about mariachi which was early 1800s 🤣
@@iseytheteethsnake6290 guitars orginally come from Democratic Republic Of Congo learn to take the truth a lot of things in the world come from Africa ❤
@@Tssharif Lutes are scattered throughout African history. But I’m sure it was the Malis and or different type of Moor who bought to Europe via Spain.
They don't need a microphone...... superb vocals....resonating at all corners of the world
for those who called Africans primitive people this kind of traditional have been around for hundred of years let me repeat that hundred of years. This is where Broadway shows came from.
This is where EVERYTHING came from, even humans.
Thousands of years!!!
Polo Lacrete there is nothing wrong being primitive which means the earliest form of mankind.
@@deeyanks They were more advance. Today's humans are more machine like.
Beautiful. I wish I could dance like that

That was Beautiful!! Although I'm African-American, I'm still filled with pride & awe because Africa is the birth place of my ancestors, even though I'm not sure which country on the continent, I'm still proud!!
You should be proud from your African roots
exoticflava11: Love your comment.
Me, too!
Joy Strickland A few years ago, this kind of dance would have been considered primitive. .am glad that it's being embraced as beautiful. .
I’m proud as well....I wanna take a African ancestry dna test 😊
South Africa ZULU man was here to see Congolese the origin of Bantu people love you guys
A Congolese who loves South African music and dance was also here and liked your comment. As a Bantu, I am often stunned at how many words are still similar in our languages when I watch a series like Shaka Zulu or listen to one of my favorite musicians growing up Ivonne Chaka Chaka.

I am Haitian, and it's incredible to see how much this dance is similar to many dances in my country. It shows that our heritage stays with us no matter where we go
Exactly. Nous pap jam lage 🙏💋
Beautiful! My Great great great grandmother was a slave from the Congo who was taken to the caribbean where I was born. It's good to see some of my heritage
Kelly Eastman 👍🏾
How did you learn that? Keep in mind that this is one of numerous ethnicities in Congo.
My greatgrandmother told my mother the stories of her childhood where her mother would have them hide when the slave ships would arrive. She died at the age of 104
Kelly Eastman Very important to know!
How do you know that she's of this particular ethnicity in the video?
Cheers!
Kelly Eastman true i believe you. congolese descendants will know because they all know they came from the Kongo empire (southern gabon,congo and northern angola). the Kongo empire dissolved only in the 1900's
@3:44 Did you hear and see how they transitioned from the fast rhythm?! 👀😫❤️💥 That’s so Haitian 🇭🇹 I see how many of our ancestors from Haiti come from Congo! I don’t need any DNA test to tell me that! The second half dancing is my favorite! I enjoyed how well the men were fluid and in synchronized with the dance moves as much as the woman did! 💕
I keep coming back to this for that part specifically!! The groove goes CRAZY ! ! !
Every DJ does the same thing.
@@CulturedWhiteBoy well the dj-ing culture was started by Black people who have their origin in Africa, in places like Congo.
@@listenup2882 Dumb comment.
@@CulturedWhiteBoy not really. we owe so much of our music culture in america to black people.
Congo was and is the promised land of the bible , remember without Congo no smartphone , the whole world got Conglese blood in their pocket
I'm going to try and recreate this dance as a part of our schools black history month dance performances
How did it go?? Its 8months down the line🙃
How was it lol
I am an African-American woman and I can truly see our ancestors way is still in us just beautiful i love it
U can tell Africa is one, the costume, the beats sounds like the igbo cultural country. Love from 🇳🇬, plus my bf is from DR Congo 😍
Was thinking the same. Instrument even looks like the ogene!
Yes so true ! This reminds some type of dance in Togo 🇹🇬
It looks Isoko to me too in most of our festivals
afoua mensah what dance in Togo?
I tell you , one culture great people
It’s amazing how much of African culture is reflected in our African American culture still today. It came here with us through slavery and still remains. So proud of my Roots. I’ll never understand how one race could not see the humanity of another that differed from their own. What a beautiful people Africa is!✊🏾

I love congo, love from Nigeria
First time I've seen anything Congelese. Thanks to a DNA test, I know what half of me is. I've been to Accra, Ghana but I have very little Ghanaian in me. The Congo and Cameroon is my highest African percentage. It's nice to see this to connect.
Try to in touch with Congolese in USA to learn more.
even Anamongo and Bateke are of Cameroun origin.
You are BANTU! Be proud of who you are, we are amazing and powerful people! 🖤✨
@@cauwenberghsroeland8607 All the Bantus and Anamongo also came from Nigeria, but the origin of the culture was born in the DRC, which makes it 100% DRC
@@pacbiggie4338 Oh, when they came the didn't have no tongue, no believe, no traditions, no values , no social structures, no history, ...?
Thàt is non-sense. But as the living social identity and memory is Congolese, of course, Congolese they are.
That said, the Benye to the lake Tchad, the Chari or the Ouaddai, than the Bahr Al Gazal ...is one of the roads : Bantu-speaking people that cultivated eleusine coracana ,their ancestor passed by Ethiopian highlands ( Bakongo)... But there ancestors can to have taken a road more north ( at least - 2500 BC ... maybe 4 000 BC )...From Djoliba Sokoto - Gagere - Komadugu ...to reach Lake Tchad, the area was a lot less dry...
It is not important : cattle came from Mali, but they can have learned breeding cattle... The cattle passed north ...however resistant to trypanosomiasis... it has been recrossed a first time with auroch , out of Africa, and gave Bos Zebu or Bos Indicus. A part went south and west again, and the culture of eleusine picked on the road....
Others moved trough the grasslands of Bateke or the Sangha, passing by Cameroon. All are Bantu-speaking people, but the migratory movement is very old, and ...tiny. A lot more important movement follows the raids of slave-hunters, and people run from al sides, terrorise to survive, and start new nations... and so are born most of Congolese modern "tribes". With a legend of ancestor-hunter discovering new fertile lands...
The roots in Nigeria are often very old... and gone...a very long time ago. Maybe all long before 1000 BP ? We can't see , if we find bones and pottery which tongue they spoke... I have "long hair" and do speak lingala...and nengue tongo of the Marroons of the Maroni-Tapanahony... never they would be able to see that on my bones.........so, let us be carefull with such suppositions.... Maybe they didn't speak Bantu at all and learned them, as the Pygmee-tribes did learn them... Kinshasa speaks ( poor) lingala, "Indubil", but most ancients were Bakongo..... Marroons speak an Indo-European, germanic language... and the Saramacca have still a Luangu-culture.......
I am from the Caribbean and of African origin. This music penetrates my inner soul. Love from beautiful Barbados.

Muzi wesley 80% of the world's resources of certain minerals essential to our mobile phones (smartphones), our laptops, our game consoles, our digital cameras, our tablets (ipad, galaxy s9, iphone 8 plus) ... are in Congo.
The immense wealth represented by these resources has been the subject of wars for more than 15 years, for controlling the exploitation and trade of minerals (coltan, cassiterite ...).
Many armed groups loot miners, their families, their villages, torture, rape and kill. The worst atrocities are committed by the west and the world in general.

Congolese decendants in Brazil and Latin America and you can see and hear it in the latin music and dance
Exactly and in new orleans there is a place called congo square where afrikans from the congo region used to practice there dances and culture
Sorry to disapoint, but the Afro- Brasilians are descendants of Angolans and not Congolese. As part of the Portuguese colonies, slaves mostly from Angola and few other Portuguese colonies, such as, Cabo verde, Guine Bissau, Saö Tome, Moçambique, etc, were taken to Brazil, where they settled. The Congolese were colonised by the Belgians and taken to Belgian/ French colonies throughout the Caribean etc.
Not that it matters much, because whatever part of the continent they were taken from, they were All Africans.
@@MariaLopes-yl1ix she referring to the Kingdom of Kongo. Please do not only rely on the curriculum that the Portuguese left you all with. There's more the History of the Slaves taken than you know. That whole kingdom got split in three (or more) territories The Belgians, The French and the Portuguese and they all names their territories something different. Today we have the two Congo', Angola, Central African Republic, Gabon and so forth
@@The461Official you do not know ur history. There were slaves from Angola, the 2 congos that went to the 2 America's.
Sounds like Haitian voodoo rhythm
I have saturated my pillow in tears as I watched this ! As soon as the drums began to beat and the dancers came out , tears filled my eyes . This is highly spiritual !!!
hi Heavenly Beauty, I can understand how you feel watching this , though my heritage is European, those drums do shake up inside me too.
I also cried watching this and I feel like I am getting to know God. I think this is what he likes more than the modern world I live in. These people are beautiful. I have hot flashes all over my body when I realize his creation.
Don’t cry sis 😊
I agree!! It's so primal and transcendant. Love love loved watching this
@@sandyprimus9831 you must have african dna sista. The drums call the ancestors lol
My happiest years were the years I spent growing up in Kinshasa as a teen in the 1970s.
Im Kinois , boni yo ? Do you still know lingala ? Actually I stay in Kinshasa...
they're full of life, so vidiv, so perfect, so natural, so ancient... so divine... so human...
We do these dances like that in Trinidad 🇹🇹 Best village competition our ancestors are from Africa wow imagine that we also play the drums to as well even our music have some type of African influence.
That's a lie, this tribal culture is only in the DRC
I am not african, but watch lots of videos filled with beatiful music and dances all the time, these people are specially talented for that, nobody, just nobody comes close to them, and they make it look so naturally and easy, I can also say that nobody enjoys singing and dancing like they do, no matter in which country they live. And, as you can see, they perform wherever they can, they are the attraction, not the place. Thank you for uploading.
Alfredo Isaac we are enjoying our Africa and we love it and proud of it
Alfredo Isaac 👍🏽👍🏽
I totally agree with you, I come from Roma cocek and belly dance background and cannot compare with this. African music has more spiritual feel and is more uplifting and ALIVE. The best
Alfredo Isaac these people, you people, those people, it sounds iffy. Say African people. Identify who they are.
Proud

So Beautiful! My Father's family is from the Congo! Daddy was an excellent boxer with fluid motion! Same like these dancers! My people on his side were taken and brought to America in the late 1600's or early 1700's! They say the best dancers in Africa are from the Congo! I see Why!!! MUAH!!!! I can't wait to visit Congo and the rest of Africa!
Wow so u actually know where your an ancestors from your dad side came from
@@africaine4889 Yes through a spiritual reading! My mom's people are Native black and Red Indians who were in Americas way before the pale Europeans came and conquer them. However, my dad side is Congolese. His people were captured and the High priest whom he descended from got in trouble with the king of that era and one of my father's ancestors were taken from there. His family look like 4 different tribes of Congolese - slim and short, dark to medium complexion and one big in body mass, but more brownish red toned but all from same family.
I'm Congolese and live in Kinshasa (DRCongo's capital) you re welcome anytime!!!
A pleasure to watch such happy, fit people! Long live the Congolese!
it's so crazy how after soooo many years, this video has found me again 😂
I chose it for an assignment in high school and let's just say it was replicated with enough success 🙈
Brought tears to my eyes. I think about how these people were taken from their countries against their will. Such beautiful culture.
CajunSweetTart makes me feel so so sad too.
🙏
The Greatness of the Bantu artistic cultures, are riveting and universal! From West to East Africa and from the heart of Africa, to the South, there's a flare that identifies them all around.
Well said! So much diversity but a common thread that binds us all!
Yes!
that is so true what you say about Bantu, I am a Motswana in the far south and i can absolutely relate....the language sounds almost like mine we are children of the same womb re batho ba le banggwe...we are one...love it
Stanley, all of Africa is Bantu. Same tribes-same people. Gikuyu = Kru = Khulu = Guru, Ngweni = Kweny - this is the tribe of the Khoi khoi or Khoekhoe or Khoesan or bushmen - hunter-gatherers that is all the way from Mauritania/morocco all the way down to the tp of South Africa, including kenya, Ithiopia, Chad, Sudan, Israel, yemen, all of Asia, it also houses the (m)Bete, Nzima, Madiba (nelson Mandela's clan name)/Madida/Malinga/Masinga/Mashinga/Madinka/Malinka clan, of which the Sotho Lozwi/Rosvi Mambos come from - a lot of Zulus and the Ngwane/Wane clan from which most Zulus, Sothos, Luba, Lunda, Kituba, Kikongo, Nigeria, Benin, Gabon, Mali (or Madi), the King of Swaziland is a Ngwane- Swaziland used to be called KwaNgwane, Tswanas and Machi etc. fall under this group and there are more than 800m of us in Africa, Gusii = Kisii = Nkosi = Ekossi = Ngozi (KiNgozi is a predecessor to Swahili or Swazi/nguni languages), Mambo = Embu = Igbo = Oshivambo and then under Gusii you have Fing/Bafikeng/Mhinga/Mohecans, Fong/Hongo/Kongo/Bafokeng/Mohawks, the Meru/Moroa/Borwa/Birwa or Mlilwana/Mlilo/Biro - the Moros, you have the Nama, the Mbatha, the Ndaba etc. You still have pure Zulus such as Zulawa, Wasoulou who have a musical instrument called Nguni. You also have the Jukun who say they came from kwararafa/kororofa which was in Zanj/Zanzi/Zagwe Ithiopia/Ithyopho which was in the South East Coast all the way down to South Africa. we call ourselves Nguni by the way, meaning we are Kuni/Kone/Koni/Ngoni. At least 10m West Africans came to South Africa before colonisation. We passed Kikongo and all the great African city states at the time and stayed there. All Africans have common ancestry, even the Ethiopians who claim they are different - we have the Silomo/Dlomo/Pokomo/Dolomo/Duruma/Oromos all over Africa.
Bantu cultures are predominantly in Central Africa, East Africa, and Southern Africa. There are only a small portion in Southeastern Nigeria, beyond Nigeria they are not typically native to West Africa. If you are speaking of West Central Africa yes, but there aren’t any in Benin, none in Niger, none in Togo none in Mali, none in Ghana, none in Burkina Faso, none in Liberia, none is the Ivory Coast, none in Sierra Leone, none in Guinea, none in Guinea Bissau, none in Senegal, & none in the Gambia.
As a dancer I seriously appreciate the talent these guys have so much more. The moves are incredibly elegant and beautiful 😍
Man's inhumanity to man causes mankind to miss out on all the true beauty of the world...Compared to the population on Earth it is only a small percentage of humans who wish to do harm to others...The real reason is Selfish Greed.....
...Thanks to the internet now we can really see each other as just Human...Music ,dance and song are universal to all mankind ....no matter what part of the Earth you are from......Self expression is one of the greatest gifts we have to communicate with each other.......How can you even think about harming anyone after viewing such beauty........No race except the human race.......We Are One..... Mankind......
My message to all Africans: embrace your heritage, keep your roots strong. Because one day when the west depletes all of the earth's resources your resilience will pay off. None of the indengious people ever polluted this world; we will all one day look to you to teach us all how to survive and respect the earth again
amazing cultural dance
big respect to your performance

I love Africa. I'm still going to marry an African woman. Everything in Africa fascinates me.
In 9 mounths you got only 2 likes..i give u 1.
My brother the drums talked loud. I am so proud and happy. I MIS HOME. I DO. You made me cry.
Indeed Kelly very beautiful. Congo left it's trademark throughout the Caribbean. You can feel their traditions particularly in Haiti. There is a Congo dance that is performed there and the steps and movements are similar this includes the sound of the drums. It would be interesting to bring all of these places in the Caribbean with the Congo together to perform these dances. The roots are deep and will never die
You mean bring congolese🇨🇩 ppl to the caribbean to perform the dances?
Wow.. Beautiful.. Love from India
This is my tribal dance o Nice job guys, love from Nigeria.
they sound amazing and the colors are vibrant and so well choreographed, blacks/Africans are so creative and we have nothing to hide from our culture, We rich and vibrant in every meaning of the words!

I have no connection with my biological father but recently took a DNA test and found that I am 57% Congolese. I know nothing about this part of me because I shoved it away for decades. This brought tears to my eyes and made me think that I should maybe let bygones be bygones.
Be little quiet : it is almost non-sense : part of Congolese come of recent migrations out of Cameroon ( Bateke, Anamongo, Nakusu, Ntetela,...) others of the highlands of Zambia ans Zimbabwé, related to the Nguni , as Baluba, Lunda, "Bangala"...). Bakongo start to come a lot earlier , from actual Tanzania by Katanga till Kasai.
Other recent migration, Bantu and Nilotic of north-eastern Congo . And some people of Oubanghui - , Ngbandi - came relatively recently from the south of Darfour (Dar Fertit) as do Lendu and Mangbetu. Ngbaka come from eastern Cameroon.
The kings of the historical dinasty of Congo were Teke of Cameroon, where no Teke remained.(State of Anzika)
All those got mixed up less or more during migrations ans slave-wars and colonial interference.
57% is just non-sense. But it could be Coastal central Africa south of the Ougoué till Namib; It could be Central Congo of West-African origin , Central Congo of South African origin , with but few "mixing" . Luba wouldn't marry easily nor Kongo , nor Babeembe ... matrilinear cultures, and neither dispized Anamongo.
...
But, if you would be Ndeko, you will be Mwana Congo...and, however I am Mundele, I am mwana Kongo, "nabotami mbala mibale, nzoto na poto, molimo na mboka, and I give You : be wellcome home".....

Very much similar to East African Bantu community folk music. Am a Kenyan Luhya and this sounds like our music
Many Kenyan Bantus have DRC origins
@@pacbiggie4338 True. Congo is the Cradle of the Bantu people.

As HAITIAN, I understand once you embraced that African part in you, you become Holly and one with nature and yourself.
Africa is the best. My next world, I will come back in Africa
Surprised to find that Congolese exists in my blood from when slaves were left on the Carribbean coast of Nicaragua, where my father is from. I wish I knew more about my great great grandparents.
Well, in your case , almost sure your ancestors were sold to the spanish by portugese, and if so , almost sure the origin is one of both Congo or Angola. But hard to know more . Enslaved people happened to voyage years and thousands of miles before shipping... nevertheless, most chance would be Bandundu, RDCongo
This does not mean you came from DRC, you could have come from Angola or another Congo, different cultures from the video
@@cauwenberghsroeland8607Portuguese have never been to the DRC, only the Belgians, the only Europeans
Thanks so much for this. I love Congolese dance.
Why is this moving me to tears right now? If only everyone else could be brought together by music and dance, the world would be a much better place to live in.
Best part about African music is that, it Unites the African people
In 1958, I was in high school in Los Angeles, when Ballet African came to town. It was the most exciting music and dance I'd ever seen or heard. After the performance I went up on the stage to look at the drums and one of the drummers asked me if i wanted to play it? I was playing drum set at the time so I had fundamental knowledge of rhythm. he showed my some simple patterns and I fell in love with the Djembe. I still play it.

I'm not African but i love watching the dances from other cultures and then learning more about the history behind them. The intricacy of the costumes that they wear here is amazing and beautiful and clearly many hours of work have gone into each piece. I really don't feel i need to understand what they are singing to see the beauty and passion that they all clearly have for what they are doing to and to enjoy watching it. Thank you for opening my eyes to a very beautiful part of your culture xx

They're not singing in a Cameroonian language
@@The461Official he said the language is familiar not that they are singing in a cameroonian language.
This is the equivalent of Native Americans dressing in traditional clothing to perform a ritual from the past.
But it has nothing to do
Yes it does! Ceremonial cultural similarities are relevant. Due to colonialism, traditional attire and dances are disappearing. Tribal customs aren't moving with the people into the city and people are losing the ability to speak their native languages.
Just WOW! Love this music and dance soooo much
yo creo que mis raices son del congo soy afro peruano y tenemos casi el mismo ritmo de musica es muy parecido al lando y el festejo ......me atrae mucho la danza congolese
How is this possible? The way they sang when he sing started is how we Zulu people sing. It's like the same style of singing. Africa is one.
We are all Bantu. Even our languages often sound alike. This area is where the Bantu migration started.
Zulu people are also related to Baluba in South East Congo (DRC)
Super!!! DRC
Respect to my Ancestors,2018.✊❤We are still here!
Félicitations pour la perpétuation de ces danses traditionnelles qui tendent a disparaître dans le mercantilsme du showbiz

Wonderful! Globalization wants to destroy all this; but the wealth lies in the different cultures. Come on Africa! Stand up and defend this with all your might the best in your culture! You can be the future.
If you can't see past the dirt and appreciate the beauty of the moving bodies and the rythm of the sounds, especially the gongs, then you are lost
I am white European Australian but I take an interest in cultures very different from my own. I can't understand what these people are trying to express but I like their joy in movement and the drum rhythms and voices. Music speaks an international language that all humanity can understand because it speaks through the emotions, not the intellect. These look like very real, authentic natural performers, not too stylized. I like the different people doing their culture in their natural, unpolished way, not too stylized. Just natural.
you mean not like eurovision song contest where every single song sounds like a generic western radio pop song
To the performance the song was giving me chills your harmony was making me cry the dancing was powerful and moving symbolic and the musicians were perfection the powerful rhythm was making me bounce in my chair i am still wiping tears what heavenly voices nothing else on earth sounds this close to God why we have ears to hear this is why this is wgat you wait your whole life to hear the sound of a baby born into this world and the sound of voices singing in harmony as it sounds like home to my ears it sounds like where i belong like where i long to be like where i should always be like a sound as sweet and good as it can possibly be i am right where i am at this moment to hear what i heard and was always feeling connected to like my home. You are amazing young people full of vitality good souls and fire energy and so talented..gorgeous beautiful and you brought me to tears i could not stop still tears you touched my heart my very soul thank you for posting for sharing yourselves with us my family thanks you. Love and more love the girls from cali
