I hear swing, shuffle, boogie. I hear pentatonics. I hear the origin of the blues. The berber musical heritage must have had a deep impact on the west african nations, from which most Afro Americans originate.
Hi. The Berbers or Imazighen (free men) were not only in North Africa but also in Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso ..and a few are still in those last 4 countries) Regarding the cultural relation between North and West Africans, it' s difficult to say who influenced the other. They probably influenced each other. By the way, Berber is not a color of skin. Some berbers are white (mostly in the North of North Africa), some of them are black (mostly in the Sahara and in the south of Sahara. Most of them are " in between". To be Berber is to belong to the native culture of "greater" North Africa. Africa has always been mixed (especially thé North and the East). Since the slavery exists, it was impossible to recognize that. Can you imagine slaves traders admitting that all Europeans are not entirely white and that some Africans, to not say a lot of, are their cousins. Anyway, Berbers use the pentatonic system, they hit the blue note, they use rythm..They dance on the rythm. They lived in tribes (even uf they are "modernized " for the most part now). They've got an oral tradition of telling tales, customs laws, witches and wizard..and even some kind of voodoo. I am half Berber myself and I feel something in common with subsaharian African and the African diaspora in general.
@AnalogOpher I agree I can hear it pretty cool stuff. I find history and music interesting. If you consider this music here along with British / Irish, as well as Continental Europe it tells a story. The Berber music with its rhythmic pentatonics and singing style. The British Isles with its jigs, reels, ballads and line out church music, with shifting modes and pentatonics, melismatic singing and some blue notes as well. Then Continental Europe has heavily harmonic structures and progressions, whether the ebb and flow of classical or the festive dance and march. The other thing I find interesting is the fact that most cultures around the word have some kind of traditional pentatonic music. Says a lot about how we hear and feel things as humans.
I want to note that this is south Berber music; further north in the Atlas Mts. the music sounds very different. The bowed rebab in this video is not so common in the north, and the loutar, the banjo-looking instrument here, has a very different form--sort of triangular and often much larger--uses mostly diatonic modes instead of pentatonic. The mood of the music changes a lot too. It sounds (and any Amazigh commenters here forgive me for saying this :P it's just my outsider observation) more "Arabic" than "African", though I wonder which direction any such influence might have moved in. Look up Mohamed Rouicha, a famous loutar player from the Atlas region.
we Amazighs (north Africa and great African Sahara) are the nearest cousins of eastern Africans ..the Egyptians(copts), Nubians Ethiopians ,Sudanese and Somalians ...that's why the music is similar....
Similar instrument the guy in middle is playing. In Eritrean Culture it’s is called Chira-Wata or simply a Wata. Very traditional instrument in Eritrea.
Wow I was just listening to my Ethiopian music and someone said that it sounded like Ethiopian music I searched it found it now I'm amazed at this it sounds like Ethiopian music I could really dance eskista to this 😂👌👌👌👌 mashalla I love it
So funny reading all the comment saying 'this sounds just like Ethiopian music'. When I visited my family in Morocco (region of Agadir) they played Ethiopian music for some background sound and I thought 'oh this sounds just like our Amazigh music' :D It's normal for some families like mine toplay Ethiopian or music from Sudan at home, and I think it's because of the similarities with our music.
The MOROCCO Berbers are native to Morocco,Egypt and Algerya . The Barber Kingdom used to expand in most of North Africa. After Islam took over that part of the north Africa the Barber forced to change their religion. In fact they keep their musical culture till this day. It is not coincident if Ethiopian music similar to Berber music. The old Egypt used to expand way down to river Nile. The Berber use to be part of Egypt. Ethiopia and Berber may have more historical and social relationship beyond music.

@@buacmiya8881 The truth that you don't want to accept is that North Africa is a different group of peoples, Arabs, Berbers, Phoenicians, Vandal, Southern Africans, Touaregs desert dwellers and some Andalusian Iberians so, people in North Africa are different in colors and features.
