As a Nigerian all I see from this dance is Yoruba people of Nigeria and some part of Benin republic all In west Africa. This people really tried to keep their culture alive. 👍👍👍
Thank you for saying that because a lot of people don't realize,that Jamaica as always try to keep the traditions alive from one generation to the next. We have a festival competition between schools, clubs and even adults during independence time. They would be, competing against each other in music, drama, speech and of course dancing in every category for gold, silver and bronze medals and place to preform at the national stadium, on independence day.
@@cash6627 this is really good to know. I know my ancestors were taken to Jamaica. I do watch Jamaica good life and there was a place that was shown in one episode. I cried cos they really really look like people from my tribe. They behave like us too. I felt it within me that this people are from my tribe in East Nigeria. I will gladly welcome anybody who's ancestry DNA matches mine. God bless Jamaica
A lot of Jamaicans are from Nigeria especially Igbo and Yoruba. Plenty do not know that part of their history, the Ettu dance that we do is definitely from the Yorubas, and the jonkunu is from the Igbos.
Not only yoruba..... This rhythm is yoruba but a lot of Jamaican dances are igbo..... Go and look at the Jamaican junkanoo. It is direct from igbo masquerade tradition.
Love this! Similar traditional dance in Barbados. I love people of African descent. We are so resilient and despite history maintained some of our African ancestors traditions in the diaspora.
Yaws. You should see us on independence day at the national stadium also. Even when it was Jamaica day, in schools there are always performance like these(Dinki mini, etc) dub poetry, reggae songs played, foods from our African ancestors (Jack ass corn, Blue draws, Ackee and Saltfish Many others I don't remember lmao) we also dress in our Jamaican colours on this day 🖤💚💛.
I love Jamaica and find it disappointing that I was never exposed to this sort of thing. All you see nowadays is humping and whining. Nothing wrong with that but it would be nice to see the WHOLE story and the depth of the beauty of Jamaica. It sure does run deep. One love, from Rojava.
Also,this is called Kumina, cultural dances are performed in different parishes across the island. Eg. May pole dance, Dinki mini, Bruckins party, Crop over, Limbo, Quadrile and etc. Even when it was Jamaica day, in schools there are always performances like these:Dinki mini, dub poetry, reggae songs played, foods from our African ancestors (Jack ass corn, Blue draws, Ackee and Saltfish n Many others I don't remember lmao) we also dress in our Jamaican colours on this day 🖤💚💛, or we're in Bandanas or full black.
Every Jamaican I've met have been so humble, respectful, and natural driven people. I wish the situation for Jamaicans improve in their island. Lovely though.
Let me confirm... This is without doubt traditional Yoruba music dating back hundred if not thousands of years. The yoruba are from western Nigeria and the Benin Republic. As a Nigerian this is the most spine chilling confirmation of the links between the people Jamaica and their west African heritage. Not just the drumming pattern but the dance steps too. Watch out also for the Igbo masquerade connection with junkanoo!
Thank you!! I’ve been doing my do diligence and research and I’ve learned that what’s called modern day Nigeria, Ghana… along that coast they stole us from the following tribes.. Akan (Fante, Twi), Bantu (Bakongo, Mbundu, Ovimbundu), Fon, Igbo, Mande (Malinke/ Mandinka, Mende, Temne), Yoruba…….some of the earliest slaves that came to jamaica was from the Congo as well. We try to maintain the little heritage we have. Glad to know someone from back home can confirm we are crazy ppl beating drums and dancing. One love, one family.
This is kumina, a ritual African dance (not to be confused with pocomania, a religious practice) practiced in eastern Jamaica specifically in the parish of St . Thomas. It is not a religion as there are no regular worship services not even a main place of worship. This ritual dance is held at wakes, after burials, at births and at the building of tombs for loved ones gone by. For the Jamaican who has never seen this is Jamaica, you must have lived in a vacuum. Kumina is a common cultural expression performed by school children during the annual JCDC dance festivals. This is beamed on television every year almost. Hard to believe there is a Jamaican who grew up in Jamaica and have never seen or heard of kumina!
In Venezuela, we have a similar dance, from the regions of central Venezuela where my grandpa was be from, as he was of Afro descent, same drums, same dancing style, same singing, same form of playing.
Blood is thicker than water...right from the time of our ancestors who were sold out for slavery,there still keep thire tradition alife...this is Benin culture in Africa
Listen shinaz NYC ... what you watched was my culture. You probably watched whining and daggering . That is just the way we dance just like how Indians dance Bollywood. Get over it .
The name is the dace is Tambu. It is an African dance that was brought to Jamaica by the African slave and was perform on the plantations as a form of entertainment than the other Traditional Jamaican dances. It is mainly perform in the parish of Trelawny which is where this video was shot in the town of Falmouth, the first place to get running tap water in Jamaica.
Hey Vincent, nice footage. The dance is actually called Kumina. It brings back memories of when I used to play drums for these and many other traditional dances. It's nice to see that this tradition is alive and well. Thanks for sharing! Walk good.
@Thabit Sharif Because descendants doesn't mean you are. Jamaicans are Caribbeans. Why do Africans always try to force us to be called them? That makes you sound so desperate. Jamaicans are proud of being called Jamaican.
Well vybz099, it should look the same as the dances you mentioned because we are all from the same place. Yes, we might speak with a slightly different accent or live on different islands but we are ONE people and the sooner we can recognize that it's the sooner we'll be able to take our place in history as the great people we are. Love all of my African/Caribbean people and our descendants all over the world. Peace

This is exactly like the Artibonite Vodou music in Haiti. That's where they landed first. These rhythms come from Ghana and Benin. And of course, Kongo.
Thanks god finally they're sharing different 💃 in Jamaica bcz all most people did believed tat its the dirty bedroom dancing these new world's generation 💃 lol i was wondering about the old qugill dance .so many beautiful things to know about the culture .thanks for sharing one 💘
I wish they could do the maypole plotting dance in the Square for a Christmas holiday...only saw it once at age 5 :(( been praying to see it again...it's so amazing to watch, the costumes and insync movements has a landmark in my brain :)) I love the tourist guy behind them, he can work those hips LOL :))
I grow.up.in.kumina.in.my.Parish.when.my.bro die they play the Drums right back till.daylight. kumina is our African.culture in.St Thomas and the younger generation.embrace it.
I'm pretty sure this is kumina.a religious and dance form which derives from the traditional beliefs of the bakongo people in congo and angola.this is known as bailo which is more the dance, country kumina is the more serious and private rituals. If you listen you'll notice they're not singing in english or even patois, but kikongo.
howard c , hi we do Revival which is ancestral spirit. video Watt town Revival church 48 bands and Bishop Ray Foster old time Revival 2015 #1 , but these dancing and others is mostly when we have death and burial then the drums are out and the dancing, quite beautiful.
Thank God I was exposed. And I am actually happy to say that this looks like, or sounds like the traditional form of Kumina. Of course this is choreographed… But the music is dead on. This and revival was a regular part of MY life. So thankful. ((Kapo)). Thanks daddy💙
piousization well Jamaicans and west indians were slaves taken from central and West Africa. only reason they still keep and have similar traditions to Africans is because they took control of their islands and have been in control ever since whereas in America and to a small extent south america their traditions disappeared as they were subjected to discrimination for such a long time.
With all the black people that left Africa Jamaica is one country, is most likely preserved the African Culture more than any other black countries in the world.We played the drums as our foreparents them useto do, most of us does not let the whiteman culture took over ours.We used it to go through life according to the modern society.I like the playing of the drums,I born come see my uncles them used played the drums also guitar,bandro also other instruments.Those couples were really dancing to the beat of the drums, nice dancing.
The Caribbean people, Native Americans, people from South America and even black people in Europe all retained something from their Ancestors. They know who they are, but for some reason when it comes to African Americans we don't know who we are. The only thing that we retained is maybe music and traditional foods. Recipes were passed down from generation to generation but really nothing else. A lot of us cannot even go past our 4th great grandparents and that is just where it stops. It makes you feel somewhat lost.
We everything you just stated. That term you use, as well as Original Asiatics. Like we pretty much was empires , but only know when we broke up , and of course tribes fight , also sell out even if it’s their own people , more a class thing before racism 🤷🏽♂️
Holly Divine..The .African ancestors of Jamaicans came mainly from the regions of Africa that are now the present day Ghana, Nigeria and the surrounding regions. Studies have shown that Kumina is the Jamaican traditional form that has the deepest African retentions
The history of Kumina is different though. It is associated with Africans from Central Africa who came to Jamaica in the post-Emancipation period as indentured labourers.
Just used this video to illustrate this awesome Jamaican dance in my dance novel DANCE MOMMA on the website/app Wattpad.Thanks and check it out for free
I am doing a project on Jamaica traditional dance .this video caught my attention but upon downloading it there is no sound. how can I get that music so that it goes with the dance moves.
you are right, i was saying, "their drums sound like ours". It's Shona from Zimbabwe, it's similar to Swahili, i decided to learn Swahili bcz i like music from Kenya, Tanzania and DRC and I would like to understand what they will be singing about. Cheers

@@animezae Fax.
It makes me mad, and when they do, they not spreading the facts
@@animezae Exactly! 👏🏾
If you're Black no matter where you are in the diaspora the moment you hear the drums you can feel that ancestral call to assemble. Loved it.
Every Jamaican I've met have been so humble, respectful, and natural driven people. I wish the situation for Jamaicans improve in their island. Lovely though.
Thanks. It's the political greed and corruption that's holding us back.

They are.
Like seriously..

+Fitz-Roy Pinnock, I'm i was born and raised in St. Thomas and you are absolutely right. Thank you.
Fitz-Roy Pinnock now it's done for folkloric performance, but originally it was a religious practice. The word Kumina actually means spirit.
Fitz-Roy Pinnock thank much for this info
Fitz-Roy Pinnock hi
Fitz-Roy Pinnock it's not african it's jamaican
In Venezuela, we have a similar dance, from the regions of central Venezuela where my grandpa was be from, as he was of Afro descent, same drums, same dancing style, same singing, same form of playing.
Brings back childhood memories. Thanks for preserving our heritage. The black, green and gold.
Blood is thicker than water...right from the time of our ancestors who were sold out for slavery,there still keep thire tradition alife...this is Benin culture in Africa
Beautiful dance.
I was looking for Jamaican dance and music what I watched was horrible 😱 .
This is what I called music and dance. Beautiful heritage
Listen shinaz NYC ... what you watched was my culture. You probably watched whining and daggering . That is just the way we dance just like how Indians dance Bollywood. Get over it .
Praise to my culture ya mon nothing but Jah pride in we hearts 🇯🇲💯
Thank you so much for sharing this with me and many others; even Jamaicans that are living abroad. We don't get to see a lot of Traditional events.

Will never loose it we are proud of it 💕
@@joellebrooks7667 Girl, we never throwing away our mother land influences

Jamaicans have true Ghana Gene in their blood
I soooooo love my culture and heritage!!! There is nothing like it in the world!!!!
Do Jamaicans still do this dance.
This is so lovely.... Better than watching all that whine and kotch....
Ko
In ur opinion
The whining is also apart of our culture too . Just as the Africans influence our dances they influenced our music
How very elitist of you to think so. I enjoy all parts of our culture that connect us to mamma africa and that includes the whining and kotching.
Whining is apart of our culture as well dirty bum.
All Caribbean islands we are connected our roots are strong indeed
This dance is like garifunas Dancé im garifuna black from Honduras 😍
Im from nicaragua and yes i seen the garifuna dance like this as well
You're welcome! It was so much fun to watch and film. I never get tired of watching it.

I want to learn these dance moves so beautiful
Big up to all my Caribbean
Wow this looks like the Trinidad Bele and Tobago jog combined in one!! Pretty cool!
I love my heritage!!!!!!!!
Tremendamente similares a los bailes del caribe colombiano. La herencia africana en el Caribe de América es enorme y hermosa!
African dance and music preserved across the seas
@Thabit Sharif Only some, not all of. Bless!
@Thabit Sharif Not just Jamaica, but all Blacks of the Caribbean, South America, Central America and North America.

Holly Divine..The .African ancestors of Jamaicans came mainly from the regions of Africa that are now the present day Ghana, Nigeria and the surrounding regions. Studies have shown that Kumina is the Jamaican traditional form that has the deepest African retentions
The history of Kumina is different though. It is associated with Africans from Central Africa who came to Jamaica in the post-Emancipation period as indentured labourers.

Jamaican and Haitians came from the same African countries, so therefore we dance alike.

Whats the dances name ?:( I need it to my homework
I am doing a project on Jamaica traditional dance .this video caught my attention but upon downloading it there is no sound. how can I get that music so that it goes with the dance moves.
ngoma dzacho dzakada kufanana nedzedu handiti
Not sure, the sound is definitely there. Thanks for watching!
Mwana WeBlack broooo why does that sound like swahili..."your music is similar to..." i dunno the rest lolol
you are right, i was saying, "their drums sound like ours". It's Shona from Zimbabwe, it's similar to Swahili, i decided to learn Swahili bcz i like music from Kenya, Tanzania and DRC and I would like to understand what they will be singing about. Cheers
How can I contact you for a festival
If I don’t know what it means either
what a bam bam
Vonnie Jackson lol 😂
😂😂😂
Bruckins is more of a slow pace kid of dance and rhythm as well and is done at birth, marriages and death( on the day for nine day until the funeral).
