From the age of 9 i am collecting things of this tribe and i started reading and learnig all about this beautyful tribe......I am 49 now and i still have very much respect for these special people...Thanks for posting this amazing vid xxx Love from Holland
For sure my favourite video on youtube. I keep on looking it up every now and then. I'm proud of still having beautiful people like them on this beautiful earth.
I went to Kenya in 2009 and was able to go into a masai tribe community. It was so cool to hear how they use their voices and the agility and height they could reach in their jumping! Definitely a blessing!
beautiful video.am a kenyan,but dont understand what they are singing about,but from the time i started living in Europe i learnt to appriciate this.they are just from a few tribes that still live traditionally.they spend most time outside,meet families and friends,and never lonely unlike we living in europe our best friends are internet and tvs imagine how many people suffer from depression in western life.im so much impressed from their jewerleries,too bad i never met them even in Kenya.
+Muhammed Emin Kizilkaya Yep! It is basically a 'pride anthem' on being a maasai.Mentions the warrior(hood) period of a man and the things they did. Very inspirational if you are a maasai like myself
Beautiful! Every time I watch something about the African culture I feel so close to my ancestors. Hope one day I can have enough money to make an extensive 4-month trip to this precious country!
I think i have played this video more than 10 times...and every time i see it, i feel like dancing or jumping or doing somthing with my feet :) this is a pure manifastation of human nature. Singing, hopping, moving arround, luaghing with your friends in the wilderness, what else is there?Thank you so much for reminding all of us :))))Cheers
These people are fucking lion-killing warriors, lol. They depend on nothing but themselves for survival and they have very intense ritualistic ceremonies not unlike a modern heavy metal concert where the whole ground shakes from their rhythmic stomping. They go into shamanic fits while dancing that would probably scare the shit out of you if they fell to the ground in convulsions while you were around. They're also in incredible shape and do this for hours, sometimes all day. You wouldn't be able to keep up. You think it's just a silly game to them? Hopping around and laughing with friends? They're not some noble savage group of child-like primitives for the bored hippie Westerner to fantasize about living among. They're not goofing off and making silly sounds for the fun of it in this video because they're free-spirited. They're doing it for religious reasons that unify the tribe and help to ensure their survival and solidarity on a social level.
this is so beautiful, I love it. no wonder made us in so many forms and abilities. this world is full of wonders. these people are beautiful in their natural environment, too bad for urbanization, we all change. thank you for bringing this to us. San Diego Ca.
it's amazing to me how the vocal inflections sound exactly like early blues recordings (down to the guttural Popeye-esk throaty sound, that was used by some blues singers), yet I have never known of the TAST to go this far inland (unless there's an Indian ocean aspect I'm not aware of). East Africa (Uganda, Kenya, etc.) shares more in common with American vocal traditions than West Africa seems to, though both influences are strong (vocally and instrumentally). Thanks for posting.
they neva use drums in their songs. I wonder why I never asked the maasais that i countlessly met in the city nairobi kenya. By the way nairobi used to be their tribal land until it was turned into a city. Bt their villages surround nairobi and when they come to the city they dress just as in the video their look commands respect and admiration .
saw today a massai-choir in concert... unbelievable to see this rite live! they are a really proud and worhty people. incredible that they are still oppressed by the gouvernement of tansania...
When I was little, between the ages 3-5 years old (2003-2005) I remember watching a documentary film about the Maasai all the time. I wish I knew what it was called so I can watch it again. I almost think this videos could be from that film but I may be mistaken. Does anybody know of what the name of this film this could be?
Con el canto coral de un grupo restringido la oferta musical se ajusta a mínimos y por ende se perfila al extremo, mostrándose en toda su pureza. En sí mismo, el canto ritual pertenece al lenguaje enigmático estético más excelso, pues con él se pretende tanto solventar un enigma perpetuado de generación en generación como generar belleza armónica. De tal modo, se construye una apostura imponderable, al ofrecerse, pese a su repetición, como si fuese única e insólita. Entre músicos se está siempre en la linde de una sobreactuación que busca la superación constante, al ser energía vital manifiesta que propicia la integración libre de otras expresiones emergentes, como gritos, risas, soplos, jadeos… que sin ser estrictamente musicales se integran en el conjunto sonoro, favoreciendo la expresión colectiva. Según sugiere Marina Scriabine, «en África, la música es palabra y fuerza viva, es intensamente comunitaria y fecundante…» (Le langage musical, 1963: 144).
around 4:05 the throat singing sounds like that one in Yellow Knife (Canada) or Yukon Inuit: watch?v=qnGM0BlA95I&feature=PlayList&p=903E09D14E82388E&playnext=1&index=58
i heard something once that they were the tallest ones and that this was consequence of their jumps, i was wondering if it was true... anyway thanks for your coment.
our beautiful past,, although it is pretty clear that things will change forever,,,,the stunning chanting was what our ancestors used to enjoy for hundreds of years ago....today we are schooling.....we are going to learn science and engineering......we have started to learn about Newtonian physics, Maxwell Planck, Albert Einstein to mention just a few our past rich with values and culture but today all these is changing at a pace..we are orienting ourselves to fit the current globalised world..
we need more of these videos, show how beautiful this is and to start teach people, the truth, this is beautiful, now i now why my friends and i like to double dutch look at the hair, how long it is, hey girls what you doing, us black girls need to learn from you, the natural way
i live with them and what i saw really hurt my feeling...our Gov. from around the world they should leave them alone. let this people live the way the been leaving i hate the gov. they try to teach them our life style which sucks..they dont care abt money job gas..they have awesome life into the wild..where they love being so plz leave them alone.....
did u pay attention to the 'hobale hoya ala hedha hobalaye hedhe'?Somalis say exactly the same when singing poems (Gabay). They must have the same ancestry.
Trust me man ,he is an American . Thats where his heart is . My parents are from immigrats here in SA , that's where I was born and thats the country i feel at home at .
love it. i grew up among the maasai, and I've to say that they are the most wonderful people you'd ever want to know. funny,smart,resourceful, patient, you name it. the swing of the locks onto the other muran at 4:55 is synonymous to a compliment to the guy getting swiped. the backdrop is amazing though...this must have been in Tanzania right?
@in991 Yea man, africa is very special, it's where we all came from black, white, asian etc were all the same really, but we all need to look back to all our roots and thats what we've lost in this modern society, it's gradualy coming back though... :)
i am in love with this tribe ever since i was`3.my mother says matbe i was from this tribe in a past life.and funny you might say that they sound like native americans kinglouis(even your utube name,but that's another story)cause i have native american and african(along with many others)ancestry.
@saneike25 Though I'm white (really doesn't matter). I'm so inspired and affected by your culture, your roots are just so beautiful and precious.. Humanity needs to be taught in showing respect and sharing LOVE!
easy asnwer most nomad tribes from west to east africa never use drums , its the nature of their enviroment , unlike the settled peasnet tribes the nomads carry little with them so their music is always differet vocal cords, clupping and so forth. From the Wodabe to Masai , Somalis etc.
Its sad when people form another culture who have doing what they have been since the dawn of time are trying to show us there ways are looked down upon by ignorant tools whose lives revolve around the magical talking box that tells them what to wear, who to listen to, and what to think, and are to brain washed to understand that this is a beautiful thing that has been going on since man has stood upright.

Hello I'm interested with your comment!
Inlove with my tribe
I can sing good maasai music
Its real beautifully tradition and we need to keep it as long as we can! Proud to be Maasai!!
For sure my favourite video on youtube. I keep on looking it up every now and then. I'm proud of still having beautiful people like them on this beautiful earth.
I met the Masai in the summer of 2010. These people are so wonderful, so proud. This was the best day of my life. Now I have a tattoo of them.
Very nice
Shout out to you proud of you from the masaai❤
They love the camera! Epic sacred rhythm, beats, and vibes. Thank you Masai singers and dancers.
+Christopher Spain They are not singers, just proud warriors. In African everyone sings traditional tunes. Everyone is a singer.
+Gibbs Jakatiga One is born with a soul but doesn't always let their spirit shine. We're all singers and dancers at heart my friend :)
i see your compliment but with or with out the camera.. they do this
I went to Kenya in 2009 and was able to go into a masai tribe community. It was so cool to hear how they use their voices and the agility and height they could reach in their jumping! Definitely a blessing!
Pure art at its best. natural people. the earliest of all and they still rocking. timeless art.
can't get enough of this....... best culture in Africa.... proudly a maasai....

I’m grateful Oldoinyo Lengai is still there standing watch over Lake Natron, so many happy memories. Asante sana for posting.
This songs have deep meanings to them, they' compose songs about their cattles, girls and how fearless they are.
i love the low tones that some of the men make its sooo awesome, visited a Massi camp in Tanzaina it was amazing
Beautiful. Such perfect harmony & Rhythm.
When I see videos like this from the Masi tribe it warms my soul Africa is calling me home.
Terrence Robinson

It sounds so beautiful to my ears. So clean and so natural! Anyone who understand what they are saying?
+Muhammed Emin Kizilkaya Yep! It is basically a 'pride anthem' on being a maasai.Mentions the warrior(hood) period of a man and the things they did. Very inspirational if you are a maasai like myself
They are praising their chief leader,known as alaiguanani

Que hermoso sonido con sus voces y ese ritmo de sonido cadencioso y armonioso.

I'm hearing Young Thug vocals..
He cheats by using the autotune however it's still cool to hear Mama Africa in his recordings.
I have watched this video like 20 times LOL. I love it! I really like the jumping. :D I don't know why, I just do.

By the way nairobi used to be their tribal land until it was turned into a city. Bt their villages surround nairobi and when they come to the city they dress just as in the video their look commands respect and admiration .

I almost think this videos could be from that film but I may be mistaken. Does anybody know of what the name of this film this could be?

its advancing knowledge Nile valley
Am proud of my tribe ,,gudguys

wow no se porque me gusta esto... la eh escuchado varias veces... me gusta
@Antiks72 The singing/chanting in itself is a beat! They jammin', ain't they? ;-)
Trust me man ,he is an American . Thats where his heart is . My parents are from immigrats here in SA , that's where I was born and thats the country i feel at home at .
love it. i grew up among the maasai, and I've to say that they are the most wonderful people you'd ever want to know. funny,smart,resourceful, patient, you name it. the swing of the locks onto the other muran at 4:55 is synonymous to a compliment to the guy getting swiped. the backdrop is amazing though...this must have been in Tanzania right?
Exactly. Its Tanzania. My home. My people.

Oh Almighty God! This is simple musical beauty!
simply beautiful
@saneike25 Though I'm white (really doesn't matter). I'm so inspired and affected by your culture, your roots are just so beautiful and precious.. Humanity needs to be taught in showing respect and sharing LOVE!
Sounds very close to inuit throat singing.... Love it!
Dee Easton or 40 woodbine a day your entire life lol
Dee Easton Throat singing also occurs in some traditional Mongolian music, I think -- is this correct?
FYI @marcszglat - it is MAASAI not massai as you have it labeled. Nice job capturing ilmurran singing...
easy asnwer most nomad tribes from west to east africa never use drums , its the nature of their enviroment , unlike the settled peasnet tribes the nomads carry little with them so their music is always differet vocal cords, clupping and so forth. From the Wodabe to Masai , Somalis etc.
This is nice, how is it possible to download the singing?
Youzik
proud to be a masaai
It's amazing how similar some of their throat singing sounds to Inuit throat singing.
beautiful..powerful
eso se llama arte y ademas me gusta el ridmo que tienen
The bass section is a little flat.
This is really quite amazing.
Igualmente au filme a sombra e a escuridão
the tallest r from a country in europe i think but i forgot the name.
Its sad when people form another culture who have doing what they have been since the dawn of time are trying to show us there ways are looked down upon by ignorant tools whose lives revolve around the magical talking box that tells them what to wear, who to listen to, and what to think, and are to brain washed to understand that this is a beautiful thing that has been going on since man has stood upright.
well said
Who won the freestyle battle
LoL
@niqaballday it's never too late to go back. it's not always the easiest move, but i promise you, that's the healing.
The beauty is in the ear of the listener ;)
are they beatboxing?
wow! sounds like one or more of the morans are throat singing
you judge something you don't understand
