Hi hokkygriff, thanks so much for your kind words. Unfortunately this song is not on any of the African Tapestries CDs, it was specifically written for that video. We may make it available in the future but at this point it's only available on the video.
The boys in black who appear in this and most maasai videos here are of the same age group and will be going through circumcision together in a few days. they live in the bush for a few days, bonding and learning together as brothers. their distinction is the black robes and the head garb that the boy in 1:59 has which is made from bird feathers. The older gentlemen dancing with the women are "Moran" (warrior class).
This people are so beatiful and full of energy and hope, I wonder why the Obama people denied them a chance to to sing during the inauguration. I guess they all refused to board the plane fearing they will never come back or didnt know what it was.
Wow, I LOVE their dancing! It makes you want to dance along with them.
Gorgeous arrangement. Thanks much for made it available online.
A festival of tribal harmony featuring Masai tribal chants and chourus, with ethnic kalimba and shaking drum tunes.
