    Respect from your Celtic cousins from Eire. People say this is a dance from Spanish influence. Maybe right but we Celts have respected the Crows and Ravens for thousands of years. They are the guardian of our dead to our next world. Slainte

      probably not. In romania we have a dance very similar (călusul) registered at UNESCO, known to be at the roots pagan and pre-roman, with magical and ritualistic elements. and a masked dancer who represent the evil trying to bring chaos.

      @@noahboddee5238 Yeah, this is some of the most modernised Morris dancing out there (you can tell because it's actually enjoyable to watch, where the authentic stuff is crap to modern tastes). That's not bad, it's the only way to survive if it's still a relevant product of contemporary society rather than a relic, but it's also not particularly ancient.

It is usually played just with bagpipes and drums. I was told it has pre-Roman origins. Interesting to verify we share a common background.

    It's been speculated that the blackface could have been a form of disguise, since it's rowdy and pagan, plus it involved begging rather like Halloween, and would probably have been frowned upon.

      Actually Finnz 7 is right. Morris dance was originally an imitation of North African and Middle Eastern stick dances. Even the name "Morris" comes from the word "Moorish". That being said it's quite possible that people fused it with local folk dances which could very well have pagan roots.
      While the facial makeup is undeniably blackface it didn't stem from the same racist tradition as later performances which were explicitly meant to mock people of colour

    That looks like so much fun! What do the sticks striking each other symbolize?

      at first it didn't mean anything, it was just a way to make musical tunes, since music instruments were expensive and who wasn't able to find some stick along the path.
      Later it also became a defence weapon against law men and others trying to interrupt them.
      That's at least the part I know, hope it helped ye

      The banging was to chase away unwanted winter spirits. Same with the shouting.

    • @Foxglove963
      @Foxglove963 6 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Tiamat951. Exactly. There exist historical references to the noise made by pagans to chase away bad spirits. The church used its church bells.

      Usually the noise scared evil spirits away

      But none of this is pagan - the sticks are there just to make a noise.

    Morris means tradition in Latin. So to all those claiming this is a Middle Eastern or North African, it's not.

    • @Ethelberht
      @Ethelberht 6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Not when I studied Latin! Morris isn't a Latin word. Traditum means traditional. The truth is.....nobody knows the origin. About the origin, there is an old saying "Ask six different Morris men you will probably get five different answers. The sixth man will say nothing as he is the fool and the wisest of men".

      its of African origin

      I haven't got the link but there is definitely similar dances in Spain and the Basque country.. I saw another sequence on a film of a festival in the south of Spain. The 6 dancers in Cotwold like costumes were lined up either side of what looked like a canal. Very Monty Python.

      In Wales we call a ceilidh a twmpath, but it's the same sort of thing.

    • @jacquikillick3162
      @jacquikillick3162 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      a Ceilidh tends to refer to the whole event being held, at which musicians and dancers would perform, and much drinking ... wonderful events, wherever they are held.

    What's the tune name, does anyone know? I just heard a recording of "Kerr's Negro Jig" by the Carolina Chocolate drops and parts of it sound quite similar to the song here. I'm curious if there's some sort of connection!
