Africa has three distinct areas of ceremonial performance that stand out. Kenyans give you that soft communal call and response, especially the children's singing. Ghana is musically the most diverse in their drumming, wood and hand instruments . Followed by their natural communal call and response styles. The Zulus and Ngonis are in a class by themselves singing wise 1 they are incredibly numbered, incredibly talented and their choirs are second to none. 2# their cultural pride and traditions are as beautiful as the performances. 3# Just their rythms alone are intoxicating as they can take you to a high point with chants and the high foot stomps to tears of joy when they gather in stadiums singing in unity.

I am so, so proud of my Zulu nation. I dont know what would I ve been if I was not a Zuluman. I so wish I lived during those times. The chanting of these slogans by amabutho make me feel so proud of my Zulu nation history. I urge the Zulu nation to preserve our heritage. " UYAYIVUBE...LA!!!!"
Lh I'm a dead man either way, there's absolutely no way in hell I'm going into battle against warriors like that & I'm sure this was a time when you'd probably be executed for desertion soooo yeah. I'll take fighting isis,, taliban any so called warriors of today before I battle: Zulu, Samoan or vikings of the past, fuck that lol
@@richardmanqele2878 I don't know how many times I replayed this video, especially at that part. Everytime I hear that part I feel a tingle down my spine! I'm glad u heard it too my brother
Imagine if the Springboks pull this off against New Zealand, that would be insane AmaZulu have no fear whatsoever and as the rival, if you heard these chants, you would have wetted your pants in fear
Holy crap I would be so hyped up if I were one of the chanters. I'd also be scared absolutely shitless if I was on the wrong side of the chants. They sound like one gigantic being, or like a malevolent fog, and sometimes they sound like those weird scary noises you hear at night in the wilderness. Some grade A psychological warfare. They were no dummies. If you can break their spirit before a battle, more of your people come home when it's over.
Nice analysis, I think they used a similar tactic as a lion(ibhubesi) when it roars, first the fear is transferred from the worrier to the enemy and then they attack.
Coming back from one year ago and I stand by it, impressive. Brave warriors, incredible culture and we have a great game left behind (stick fighting ;))
Well, they didn't have bows and arrows, they had effective shields and the Iklwa, assagai and knobkerrie and very good offensive tactics. For the time, the zulu were the most advanced fighting force. So one of my great great grandfather's died at islandwana at the hands of the zulu, no shame. They're amazing warriors and a very talented and advanced people. I like the zulu, very much. They're brave, strong yet tender and talented. "Bows and arrows" is the Western idea of the tribal fallacy. Zulu stick fighting, now that's sport boy! A true warriors sport born from a strong noble people

In all honesty, even if you were a 'modern' army in those days, hearing thousands of warriors chanting like this would make you instantly SHITE YOURSELF. You knew when you heard this, these boys are here for a fight.
The Zulus had bows and arrows but they were not allowed to use them during war they believe it was against the gods to do so, when you take someone's life in battle you must look him in the eye that's A warrior's Way of respect to your fellow human.shooting someone with a bow or gun it's a coward way! I don't think I have it in me to be a warrior but if I had to go into battle I rather do it with a spear or sword than a gun.
Hmm. I think there is evidence to suggest that a fair percentage of the Zulus had firearms albeit muskets and suchlike. Certainly more firearms than the movies portray anyway.
@@davidsimpson3113 nope, I come from Northern KwaZulu Natal and I can assure you that we had no guns AT ALL, even though a fair amount of History is shared verbally, never in my 20 years as a Zulu man have i been told stories of our warriors using Guns, the shield And Spear has been a symbol of our Tribe and still is.

It's like how come or date you toched the Zulu Warriors like that? Were you drunk ? Were you drunk ? Was he drunk ? What kind of concoction was he drunk of that mock the warriors like that ?
If you are descendant from the slaves brought to the Americas than it's very unlikely that you'll be related to the Zulu people. You should look into the people of Angola, Northern Namibia and the like.

Do you know the English translation of these chants?
Is the translation to what you typed? Did he touch Zulu and get drunk? "
@@edbillings6339 A direct translation of that "chant" is "You touched Zulu?What are you drunk from/are you drunk?"
Do you happen to know what the words before it mean? It sounds to me like "Hebe!" "Uzu!" though I no doubt spelt it wrong. What do they mean?
