SUNU: Sunu is a dance that originated in the ancient Mali Empire, which includes modern day Ghana and Mali. The dance is still performed in the Mading regions of Mali.? Sunu is usually performed at weddings to symbolize the femininity of the bride. Sunu is often seen during the wedding season in September and October of each year.
Very much appreciate the wisdom of including African folk in the music and video, It is hard to not see race in such a racialized world, It's easy to allow one's frustrations with history be projected in an unfair hypersensitivity to seeing folks of European decent embracing, celebrating, perpetuating and utilizing the beautiful and sacred traditions of the indiginous peoples of the world, especially because so many people of color are resistant/ignorant to the magic within their own cultures... But, part of my journey as a soul in the body of a Black Man in this world, with all that comes with that, has been to learn that we ARE ALL INDIGENOUS, because the original and only true, not man-made and socially constructed heritage, is to earth, a special place in Mama Africa if we want to get geographically specific. So I say bless you sisters and all of your beautiful and wonderful community, and thank you for using your wonderful voices, hearts and creative minds to spread the beauty of the healing, ecologically sustainable roots cultures of humanity. Many of my friends of color, people with beautiful hearts and souls and still some scars like we all have, would see the bhindis and the dreadlocks and immediately write off, and their arguments would be valid in many respects as all arguments can potentially be, but I am tired of arguments and tired of spending my energy debating what's wrong and what I see and hear feels right, it feels natural, it feels like I want to be there singing and dancing with you and no I'm not Indian, I'm not Native American I'm not Pacific Islander, I'm not Jamaican and my people (from Sudan) didn't wear dreads but damnit dread my hair, give me a Bindi, Tat me up and bless my by the cayote eagle bear and wolf because I, You, We are all culture all heritages all all all we are all all all I you we me can be free together holistically... ... chi, flowing through my heart as I write this words up out of crown and into yours bless you bless you bless you.
+Mazin Jamal Mahgoub Thank you for beautiful unbiased words. What we need is a sense of community and not racial or political or geographical difference, and you captured that beautifully.
Yes’m……..amen …more correctly, a-women…….this grabs and embraces the core of me….the primitive ness and yet prevalent right now….thankfully …..thankfulness….❤️🙏
flordeloto19 I was curious too. Her name is Libby Bryan it says in the end when it shows the cast of people in the video. She's doing the yoga poses in a white outfit.
+Jenna Jefferson Yes thank you what a perfect title because this music video made me think look at all the cultures together as one peacefully existing
This reflects American drum circle and drum festival well…creative people of all places coming together to celebrate!! I’ve gone to drum circles for 22 years and this captures the essence so well! I feel lucky to have found drum circle community, it saved me. Love and respect ✨❤️✨
Two years late agreed but we all know they will never play these lady’s music on the radio ): sadly it’s the truth this generation is full of dead beat rappers that kids want to hear.
absolutely creative and awesome. thank you thank you. may the light of protection and lovely abundance shine upon you all in this life and beyond. such magical creatures you are:)
these girls/this band are downright AMAZING! I literally just found them, have already listened to 3 different songs from them and EVERY ONE was beautiful and melodic. Definitely buying whatever I'm able to of theirs :D
Anything temporary does not exist nor could it appear to be. Only appear to be temporary. The real is knot temporary. The temporary is real eternally...💗🙏
This is one of the most incredibly entrancing, transporting, other wordily, mind and soul expanding videos I've ever seen. Transformative!!!! Brilliant work ya'll!
When people ask about my family; ? I show them this music/video could not be a better representation of us being humanity. I love i love i love in all thats in me for my family.
music and pictures that really touched my soul! Wonderful. I wanted to step into that video... and join dancing in this beautiful place with all this beautiful people. Just amazing.
Just found these wonderful people and their music, which I absolutely LOVE. I would so love to see a performance. And I loved your videos too - perfect. Best thing on TH-cam I have come across in ages.
