Me too! (no lie) I’m watching the video because my mother JUST told me the news. My entire life we believed our roots were from Ghana. What up cousin⁉️🤗✊🏿🇬🇼
Just found out that I am a decendent of the balanta people off my mother side... And I wanted to do research and find out more about them... Hopefully one day I can go to Guinea bissau and learn even more... And hopefully I will be welcomed
Welcome, my dear, you are all welcome to your motherland. And I am a balanta, my mother side, I was born and raised in Guinea-Bissau. Our mama Guinea-Bissau, with its development problems in all sectors, but we are happy.🇬🇼🇬🇼🇬🇼

Great video. I’ve learned that the Balanta or Bassa are part of the makeup of my maternal ancestry. It makes sense also from some of the things that my mother told me before she died.
Got my African Ancestry results a week before my birthday (about two weeks ago). My maternal lineage is the Balanta of 🇬🇳. Those who resist...explains so much in my life. #Brassa #L1C1

I WOULD LIKE TO THANK U SO, BUT SO MUCH BY THIS INITIATIVE, PLEASE KEEP ON WITH IT, YOUR PEOPLE WILL FEEL HOW GREAT AND SO SPECIAL THEY ARE, SO THAT THEY CAN KNOW THAT WHAT THEY DID FOR G-BISSAU IS TO PROUD AND CONSIDER..."ABENNY BIAFA, N'GHALÉ KI NA WAGNA KI FAYE".
@@rasaroots6309 peace love and light I just did my African ancestry got results today find that I am from the balante people I have a question what language is that you were speaking at the end of your statement
@@Y12354 No, not at the moment. But I will be returning soon, ancestors willing. Feel free to reach out to me on Instagram or Facebook. I will most likely just do a video on it since a lot of people including yourself have asked.
I just tumbled on this video. I am a South Sudanese (Dinka), google this tribe and you will discover that Balanta and Dinka shared one ancestor. The Dinka language is similar to Balanta language. I was listening to Balanta video where a Balanta old man was doing dome offering to a deity at a shrine... I was so so surprised to discover that the processes of offering and words use when talking to ancestors were so similar. Though, I have never been to West Africa (leave alone Guinea Bissau) I have heard some few Balanta words from the old man. This is amazing. Dinka called God "Nhialic" and Balanta called God "Nighale"...the writing is different but pronouciation is the same. The Balanta, like Dinka and other tribes, are Nilotic (people of the Nile). The famous Nilotes are the Dinka, Nuers, Luo (people of Barack Obama's father), Masaai etc etc...most tribes in East Africa (Sudan, South Sudan, Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda and Tamzania) are Nilotic people.
I found out in 2021 that I was 99.7% Balanta. I have always been one to resist. I am a Libra who appreciates balance. I want to know more of where my mother came from. She hid it for years. I understand so much of me now
I got my results last week and learned that my father was a Balanta! May the Creator bless you for providing these resources for our People who are finding our way Home!!! I have subscribed, checked out the Balanta org and I am learning our language!!!
@kofitalks if your Father was Balanta like mine then that means your probably related to Pharaoh Ramses III like I am. I did my DNA on 23andme and found out.. which makes sense.. because we came through Egypt.. we once inhabited Israel before we fled the Romans.
Just found out my maternal side is Brame and Balante. This makes perfect sense, as I have always had a rebellious spirit as do all the women on that side of the family.
😂 there's no human being that they're afraid of , if someone brings it they definitely will finish it . Beautiful people , they tribal name define who they are.
Tamiko Touchlife dude honestly you should definitely visit Guinea-Bissau everyone is so welcoming, people there from the same area treat each other like family especially if they are from the same tribe.
Greetings my brothers and sisters!! I found out today that i share the DNA on my Father's side. This is an awesome video of our ancestors!! Thank you sir for taking the time to give us an introduction into the past. Our history is so deep and this connects the dots for me because it confirms the fact we came from Egypt/Sudan, to Guinea Bissau in which my DNA shows I'm related to Pharaoh Ramses III through my Paternal side whom ruled those areas. Also makes sense in why we are the People Who Resist!! He was a Israelite that took over the throne of Egypt and won 3 significant wars!! We don't play! Love you all!! Blessings!!
Dope video brother. Been doing my own ancestry research. I came about the Balanta people about 2 years ago. Ironically, Balanta is my last name and the paternal linage In colombia. Not too sure if I’m a direct descendant of the Balanta people but I do know, my latin family with the Balanta last name are the dark shade of colombians in my family
You know, the Balantas of Columbia really had me thinking when I first started researching my people. There is a big Columbian futbol star who's last name is Balanta. Maybe you all descend from the Balanta, and kept the name. You should take the African Ancestry test to find out though. Abení (Thank you) for watching, brother.
Peace brother, do you have any knowledge of how the names are chosen for our people there in Guinea bissau / Sierra Leone, I also have lineage in Sierra Leone with the Temne people, so I have a lot a research to do on both areas Thank you
Yes brother. I will be releasing a video on my naming ceremony in Guinea-Bissau soon. I also received a Themne name, but it was in a more unconventional way haha. I can say that in Sierra Leone, they often name people after deceased relatives/ancestors.
Thank you for the video Arasa!!!!! I did my African Ancestry 2 years ago and found out my mother's lineage is of the Balanta in Guinea Bissau. Were you able to visit? I need to check out your other videos.
Thank you for watching! Iaglanteh (congratulations) on your discovery! I just got back from Guinea-Bissau last month actually. I will post more videos about my trip so definitely stay tuned!

There are many African Americans who have taken that DNa test saying they are Balanta origin. My question is, were Balanta captured and sold or did other tribes sell Balanta as slaves?
Peace love and light family just received my results from African ancestry and my roots go to the bolante people. I am so happy, is there a specific language that everyone is learning on this site? Peace
Amazing video, thank you for sharing brother. Ps: Amilcar Cabral comes from the Fula tribe in a small village in Bafatá from his biological mother side. His African name is Abel Djassi 🙂
@@SHANNY13_96yes his father and his adoptive mother are capeverdians but his biological mother is Bissau Guinean, from a small village in Bafata. His biological mother was from the Fula tribe that’s why Amilcar Cabral “African Name” is Abel Djassi. Do ur research!

Bafata is not a small town, but a city (the second capital of the country). Furthermore, Bafatá is not a Fula city, but a Mandinka one. The name itself is mandinga. I was born in Bafata and my mother is Mandinka.
wait what!! Amilcar Cabral had Balanta decendence!? I am Cape Verdean and we are not taught this in school. I would like so much to dive into this. where could i find more infos on this.
No he's A Cape Verdean descendant both parents are cape verdean he just happened to be born in guinea-bissau he's parents from somada Santa Katarina!!!"
This is typically among the original description of the Balanta ethic group.... I'm a descendant of the Balanta from mother's side. Thank you for the research!!
I guess this thread will continue, as a result of the African Ancestry DNA test my maternal line is to the Balanta people of Guinea Bissau, and my Paternal line to The TSOGO people of Gabon.
Great video brother! Just one correction, balafon and bombolum are not the same instrument. Balafon is similar to a xylophone, whereas bombulum is a drum with far reaching bass sound that is used most often to communicate important events between different “tabankas” (villages), such as a death of an elderly person, or even played at their funeral proceedings. Mantenhas! ✊🏾💪🏾
Yes, the Balofon and Bumbolom are indeed two different instruments. At the time of making this video, I did not know, but now I know better. Do you know the B'rassa name for both instruments? Abené bia'fa ✊🏿
There wasn't as much information B'rassa Neen (Balanta Women) available to me at the time of making this video. I've since learned a bit more though. Would you like me to make a video focusing on the women? We have some pretty notable Balanta women.
