As an African,I didn’t know how stressful life is until I came to America. It went from 10 to 1000 in a blink of an eye. We don’t have a lot of resources and opportunities in Africa but there’s so much happiness, love and pure joy. I can’t comprehend it at all.
you are in the Land of the Oldest indigenous Black Americans maybe now you can appreciate what we sacrificed to allow you to come too the country . were just by the Color of your skin the Laws were put in to make your fail or be distracted. But we are still here 75 million strong learn the history and respect the Elders
Many thanks for your comment! New video with Vato is here: th-cam.com/video/QtvWfD0I0jw/w-d-xo.html
@@cesarbluephivenonsense, there are no black native Americans and never will be y’all are Africans so stop denying your people
@@cesarbluephive "Oldest indigenous Black Americans " what is that?
THAT, is self explanatory...
The korean brother is a true african /Togolese in a korean skin. He talks of Togo as his own country/his home and Korea is Korea 😅
Thanks for your comment!
It doesn’t matter the skin color it is the mental attitude that determines the reality.
he is from togo man
Am Nigerian leaving in Houston, Texas. Love what you guys are doing by sharing your experiences. I love the positives you share about Togo,Ghana,Nigeria and other countries in Africa further enlightening others about the continent ❤. Please keep doing more of this so the world can learn and appreciate diversity
Are you Nigerian American or fully Nigerian
Many thanks for your support!
I find it interesting to listen and watching you guys.
I am fully Nigerian. Born and raised for more than 40years before moving to the US @rexbenson5628

As a Nigerian, you ate that pidgin up real good!
Even said it with the perfect accent
I'm happy you know how to speak the Nigerian pidgin English!😅😊😊
Much appreciated!
Nigerians speak the real raw pidgin

Africans are spiritual people, that’s where the emotion came from.
Love the accents.

Many thanks for your comment!
I’m half Antiguan, half Jamaican, born in England and raised by a Nigerian step-father. I went to a multi-cultural school and so grew up with friends from all over the world - Africa, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, India, Saudi…we are supposed to exposed to many cultures so we can blossom as a people. I love the vibe from these discussions 🙏
It would be nice if all the countries you mentioned were multicultural as well. But you only seems like Western countries need to be multicultural. All the other nations are allowed to keep their own culture and be proud of it. Just Western countries don't deserve to celebrate their culture. And born in England. You mean you're English. And was there any white people at this multicultural school you forgot to mention
Good to hear! Antigua represent! 🇦🇬
Doubt ful
Am Ghanaian from the Volta Region (Aflao) I can relate to his Togo accent 😄 😆
A wonderful region indeed!
I've been to the Volta Region. At the Sogakope Beach Resort. It's right on the Mighty Lake Volta. A massive waterway that crisscrosses West Africa. Really enjoyed my visit there.
It’s the accents for me😃 Africa come get your child! #mothetland❤
Thanks for your great comment!
Your comment is REAL!!!!!!!
I love this African brother of mine. the only Asian that is a true black man. beautiful personality he makes me smile. Much love brother ❤❤
he is not a black man. he is asian. please stop.
Many thanks for your comment!
Handsome young man.(Asian man)
He's not a black man
I am both Togolese and Ghanaian, i am really feeling the vibes.
The guy in blue is very true about Ghana, we respect each others religion. The relationship between christians and moslems is top notch. U need to experience both religions celebrating together in Ghana, so lovely.
Many thanks for your comment! New video with Vato is here: th-cam.com/video/QtvWfD0I0jw/w-d-xo.html
I am listening from the state, I am originally from Jamaica, but feel a very strong connection to Africa. I enjoy the conversation.
I was born in NYC to Haitian parents, and I always felt a strong connection to Africa. I also enjoyed this video ❤
Many thanks for your positive message!
Thank you very much!
Because U are Africans ❤
Thanks for promoting my country ( Togo 🇹🇬)
I am Nigerian, based in Russia but shout out to you guys ❤❤ especially the Korean guy , your program is given
Many thanks
Nigeria based in Russia?!! Do tell about your experiences.
I am mixture of Ghana -Togo -Nigeria living in the States 😂My grandfather built a Methodist Church right in the middle of a very densed Muslim neighborhood in Ghana, I remember as a child I always look forward to Sallah to eat all kinds of food. Then in my adult years I lived in a Muslim owned House and Alhaji & Hajia treated me like their own... Infact this family took me to the Airport when I was leaving Ghana to States. Gentlemen thanks for making the world smile Again ❤❤❤Thanks for sharing your experiences, it just brought me loads of memories. I was just laughing all the way to end...yeah man next time before eating any Ghanaian food ask about the heat level or you will sing like a Ghanaian😂 You all made my day!
God bless you all brothers!
Many thanks for your beautiful message 🙏🏽
Me As a Nigerian American i can honestly say that EL vato is spot on with his African accent I respect ✊🏾 that he embraced our culture and learned African languages
Thanks for commenting!

The accents in this video is mad....I was smiling throughout the video
We are glad you enjoyed it!
I'm liking this oooooo!
Hehe, Ghana in the building!
Thank you very much for saying so! 🇬🇭
His African accent is just 💯💯💯Omorrr,as a Nigerian am really glad to come across this video😊😊
I'm Ghanaian, my husband's background is Togolese. He schooled in Korea and I was also in Korea for three months. Really enjoying this 👍🏾.
Many thanks for watching!
As a Ghanaian, listening to this podcast warms my heart and makes me emotional because it reminds me of why I am determined to raise my children back home.We aren't perfect and have many issues but the kindness, family values, and congeniality and appreciation of life, especially the simple things is in abundance. The part about Muslims and Christians celebrating each other's holidays in Ghana is still true to this day. At a time when the Western world and the arab world are at each other's neck, this reminder really makes me emotional.
I love everything about this podcast,being that I’m Nigeria 🇳🇬 the way he spoke the pidgin buss my head😂you are Africa abeg do make you come back house💜
Many thanks for saying so!
Why am I the only person smiling when listening to your podcast because it’s shows your genuine passion to know about another culture…well done 👍 guys knowing and understanding how they live their life ❤❤❤❤ big thumbs 👍 up to you guys
About the grandmas yes they know everything 😂, love from 🇺🇬
It is true! Thanks for your message
One love evo..am from ug too
I'm in tuned, from a Midwestern city in the USA. It is always hopeful and refreshing when people are sitting around ,sharing and discussing with an open mind.That is when we truly began to dispel the myths. And truly understand what is true.😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤
Many thanks, we hope you enjoyed it!
jambo. im korean-american and i work with alot of African refugees on their farms in Houston and they are some of the friendliest, warm people i’ve ever met. i love learning Swahili and Rwandan from them. due to british colonialism & US imperialism, countries like Congo are wealthy but have struggled due to the extraction of resources. it’s important to recognize this. hoping for more peace for them. 💚💚
I love korean Series
To watch the continent being spoken off this beautifully,It is just wonderful ❤
Just came across this channel and began listening to the conversations that were being shared by these men. I really enjoyed it.
Much appreciated!
Bra, I’m so digging this podcast. Keep it up. Africa Unite one love
Thank you very much!
I'm a Ghanaian and It feels good watching this. Everyone needs to visit Some countries in Africa.
That was hilarious, but true. The old people around usually know everything that goes on in the neighborhood. Every fly, every mosquito that buzzes by, they know.
🤣🤣
love that you're sharing your experience
shout out from Ghana 🇬🇭♥️
Watched from Jamaica
I'm loving the vibes here. Keep up the good work, guys. Greetings from an angolan living in Spain. 🇦🇴 🇪🇸 ❤❤
Greetings to you in Spain!

Much love from kenya 🇰🇪
GROUND RICE is rice balls and peanut soup is what he is trying to explain. the Adonai he is referring to is by Sarkodie Castro Ghanaian musician who died sometime ago and a French version was made. Manioc is yuka cassava and you may be referring to fufu in Togo
Aha thanks for confirming!
@@evolve_hq you are welcome
Interesting program,keep up the good work ❤Ghanian/Nigerian living in the States ,New Jersey.
Many thanks for watching! Check out our new video on being black in Japan: th-cam.com/video/YmuweJTnlp0/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared
This becoming my new binge podcast😊. I love the energy so positive. Watching from Malaysia but as a foreign student there
It’s a positive discussion on Africans from young foreigners. They are getting to understand the vibe. There is no hurry in Africa. Everything is from within and take time to come out and manifest. Just as the Korean bro say, you just get up and go to the beach and chill. And the comparison between the fast life and the slow life, the slow life in Africa made him more happier. He even found happiness chilling with guys in the slum. Take time and understand Africa.
One love❤ I appreciate this so much cause it makes one realize that despite our ethnicities, we're all ultimately human and have so much to appreciate and learn from our differences..
Beautiful message!
Can't wait to hear what will be discussed tomorrow in the Korea - Africa Summit
Watching from abakaliki city in Nigeria
I just subscribed! Am a Ghanaian 🇬🇭 currently in USA 🇺🇸 Oklahoma….Africa 🌍 is the mother Continent.. Am glad with the positivity from Ghana 🇬🇭, Togo 🇹🇬, Nigeria 🇳🇬, Tunisia 🇹🇳 etc…Africans are the most open minded people.. I wish the rest of the continents would follow suit!
Many thanks for watching and subbing 🙏🇬🇭
Stumbled on the other video and I can’t stop watching

Absolutely love this guy.. As a Nigerian ❤❤❤❤
Oh wow how they love Africa, from Ghana
We love Africa and Ghana!
Yes they do love Africa they do not have the hussle and bussle
Work travel to work, look forward to weekends that's America. But I see many Africa like them
Respect.?
Korean with an African accent what a Fab combination.
Many thanks for your comment! New video with Vato is here: th-cam.com/video/QtvWfD0I0jw/w-d-xo.html
He sounds American, West African and Korean at the same time 😂
Not really
Just came across this. Love this podcast. ❤️❤️❤️
I love this video. Thanks for coming back with part 2! Warms my heart to see a community of foreigners coming together to share their culture like this. Very relatable especially the “Hello” when answering the phone to or speaking to elders. You have to greet them according to the time of day!
Many thanks, that is the Ghanaian influence on me for sure!
Love your energy. And your correct if people showed love and respect the world can be a beautiful place.help build and develop a great place with genuine people.
Thanks for your comment!
Love these entire podcast. Respect to all you fine gentlemen ❤️❤️❤️👍💯
Many thanks for watching our podcast!
I love this video. It should be people like them in the government everywhere. Open minded people who have been to different other parts of the world. I was very happy also to hear them talking like that. The transition from English to French even Spanish. I can relate. By the way manioc is yuca
The Afro-Korean brother is getting more recognition back home (Africa). You have so much African spirit in you and that makes it more interesting to us. Seeing that spirit in a not so common skin just made us more curious. Do linkups with African podcasters based in Africa. Much respect for you.
He's not a afro korean
@@kaizatengoku3893 He's African, born and raised in Africa. His love for Africa is more than some of our African brothers
He's African
i love hearing you guys talking about the differences of this world. Waiting for the TED Talk!

Rarely finish watching these but I really enjoyed this, love the appreciation of Africa, some people are closed minded but not these guys!
It's an honour for us, thank you for your message!
So wonderful to see this beautiful representation of Africa which is often overlooked in the Western media and perception. Personally, I have so many heartfelt memories of Eastern Africa.
Akumè à la sauce adèmè with gbon yebessé is unique with another level of taste that can not be replicated anywhere. ❤
I'm really enjoying the convo. You guys really had an experience! Keep it coming ❤
Thank you for saying so, of course it will be on the way!
I love the way you guys shear your experience please tell someone of your friends not all Africans are dangerous
21:24 You are talking about (Omotuo)Rice Balls and Groundnut Soup.
Merci pour ce témoignage 🎉❤
This is so wholesome. Much love from Africa.😂😂😂
Thank you very much for your kind message!
Manoic is cassava. Pâte is what Nigerians call swallow. Just a strach based food eaten with stew. Adème is like a West African spinach. It's really good!
Aha, thanks for the info, we must eat this delicious food!
Thanks for this video. I really like it ❤. Vous imitez bien l'accent Africain. Good job.
Merci pour votre commentaire!
This is SO interesting to me, bc my cousin left the States to go to Nigeria for a visit, and decided to stay...but MY plan is to try the same thing...in Korea. You are making me understand my cousin's decision in a way he didn't. Now, I have to call him! 🤭☺️
love from nigeria!
Thanks for your message!
The thing about Africa, specifically Nigeria is that, we have the rich and the poor just like any other country. If you go to the rich area, it’s really comfortable and you have every necessities you can have. While in the poor areas, people do struggle for the basic necessities and most times without government’s assistance. In every state, we have the town and the village and everyone has a village.
One love brothers ❤🇬🇭
🙏🙏 Thank you for watching 🇬🇭🇬🇭
I had to subscibe😂😂😂😂😂😂
NGL if was just audio I would've thought the asian guy was a native. The accent is just natural😂😂👌👌

You still amazed me ...let s do a podcast,i m here in ivory coast and like your view on our home town
I'm loving this!!!!!
Thank you!
Me too
I wish I could subscribe and like million times
I always wanted to come to Korea to eat some authentic Korean food but the stories of heard about how they treat Black people. It scares me how some people say they had bad experience like people speeding on them, but you talk about Black people give me a little hope that one day I can come
Thanks for sharing!
Yeah, Koreans are racist towards anyone who doesn't look pale. But they do look different on black people while profiting off black culture
Stop traveling to be accepted, travel for yourself
Don't believe everything that you hear.You really need to watch The black travelers in Asia,you will be amazed.Do your research my love.
Thank you
The accent, the way and communication
Loved part 1 of El Vato's interview and subscribed. Enjoyed your conversation. I am Ethiopian, the languages we speak across Africa might be different but I can vibe with the culture and the lived experience. Touches my heart to hear this brother. Respect, zee PS. If you ever end up in Ethiopia let me know.
Thanks for watching!
If the Podcasters haven't found out already. The dish "Pate" that Vato was talking about is similar to puff puff. Its made from the same ingredients, but instead of making it into balls, they flatten the dough and fry it. It's eaten for Breakfast with tea and milk. Regardless, I enjoy your videos.
