Hello family I am of Balanta/Mandinka ancestry born California. I am still learning of my connection to my brothers and sisters. In the region. Of Guinea Bissau and Sengal
By the grace of God, we have the chance to experience these exceptional moments of reconnection between the different sons and daughters of black people. None of our ancestors or descendants would understand what has been going on for a few years. Let us give thanks to God for this immeasurable benefit and this gift he gives us.
Great Video Brother. Appreciate The Information. My Teacher Carried That Type of Sword for Many Years. I Would Really Love the opportunity To Speak With You Regarding Events we will Be Hosting here in Detroit.
HI recently have done African Ancestry and through my mothers Ancestry i have discovered that. I share ancestry with both the Balanta and Mandinka peoples. I am currently researching both. Im subbing to your channel to learn more about them.
Yo mbibaba, N'sumna (Greetings, my brother). I can tell by your results that you are Balanta Mane. Abeni (Thankh you) for subscribing to my channel. I will be posting more about Balanta History and Culture soon.
I have a lot of catching up to do on your videos. I just received my Paternal African Ancestry Results, which is Balanta in Guinea Bissau. The crazy thing is, I subscribed to your channel two months ago when I first did the AA dna test…
I’m glad that you mentioned the bottom of the scabbard. My people (Mende/Vai) carry similar blades, and as you know, the style of sheathe had a characteristic leaf-shape flare towards the tip of the blade.
Sir. I have made a short video clip would you go on my channel please and look at theses daggers It would mean the world to me your knowledge of this matter is the best I could find thank you
I am a decendant of the Mali Empire and Kaabu Empire 💪🏾
This is probably my favorite type of African sword. So unique and pleasing to look at.
Yeah, I agree!

Thanks for showing me of the Mande swords 😎💪🏾

Good video, Balantas probably relied on their bow and arrow first using the saber for close quarter combat.

Very nice video man very informative.

I can definitely see the genetics of your maternal tribe in your face. Mainly your eye structure.
Which tribe you think lol
Paternal lineage?? But African DNA is matrilineal, so there's no such thing as paternal lineage.
