I love this dance, l am not from the middle belt side I only got interested because of cultural day. I was selected as one of the middle belt member trying to watch videos to know more but this is so interesting kudos. I love dancing but the steps are technical and am not from this side. Everything is possible I will try my best to learn the steps diligently. Up middle belt sides
The best thing for us is a United Nigeria with stronger regions In charge of their own internal affairs. The central government in Abuja should only be in charge of external affairs and inter-regional dispute resolution( Supreme Court). Our present system has stifled our beloved country and heavily limited the potentials of our people. May God bless Nigeria.
If these guys know how much we love the uniqueness of their back twists. They'll forget most of these their fanciful moves and give us the full course of it just like their elders do it.
This is absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much for posting this treasure as well as giving some background information. I'd love to know the meaning of this dance and music. Such splendid beauty of sound and sight.
@@Egahi4real we need the meaning of the dance, the cultural history of how it started and how it's preserved and when it's performed. Not the name or origin state hahaha, thank you
This dance is awesome . I used to watch this dance when I was a little boy in Cameroon . Some of the Tiv tribe were in Cameroon doing farming . Hard working and lovely people . Good dancers with that their horn blowing. Where are the Tiv girls ? I can’t find them here in the United States
The longer one is called Kakaki in Hausa, and they sound different. It is only blown for a Kind or Emir unlike Algaita than can be played for any traditional title holder or even for ordinary people.
Africa has all these deep routed unique cultures but still they make religious building their second home. Crying shame . Thanks to Gov. Ortom... now I know this pipe is traditionally TIV's and not African arab wannabees.
Imagine the 19th century British colonialists hearing these drums and horns all the way in their living quarters and wondering "What the Devil are those Natives up to now??". Lol! Of course, what always follows after such questions, are the subject of a Natives nightmares. Pure horror!
Lol. 😁 That was funny. That s why they tried to destroy our culture but the culture was stronger than them; that's why it survived till today and theirs is dead
I have enjoyed listening to the music and watching the dance. However, like all artists and a performer I call for reload. In the sense that. the songs, rhythms, dance steps or choreography need updated. If we seriously pay attention here, these elements mentioned were composed since the days of Hagher and Tsevende as Directors of the Council. The New songs should convey better relevance to the New Benue audience as we are in a different socio-political era. The songs should also convey contemporary values with them as we listen. They create a rebirth and uplift the spirit.
I enjoyed this. Let me start practicing sef
Wow
Wow
40 seconds in I'm already blown away by the horn player. I haven't even gotten the dance yet 😂🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
I really enjoyed that. I've never seen this kind of dance before with this style of music coming out of Africa. Thank you.
Which country you from pls?

This is the beauty of multicultural society. Let’s stay together for goodness’s sake, united we stand divided we fall yakata.
Have you ever lived among this tribe to know what they are going through? Particularly in the last 10 to 15 years?

Who knows the name of the first song?
What is the difference between a Algaita and a Kakaki?
They are very similar in terms of design and sound. Algaita is the Hausa name and Kakaki is the Tiv name.
@@ADEP Ok thanks. But this instrument is different from the very long one, or is it the same but just plays higher notes?
The longer one is called Kakaki in Hausa, and they sound different. It is only blown for a Kind or Emir unlike Algaita than can be played for any traditional title holder or even for ordinary people.

Malakat (kakaki)
Hello
My father my father land benue benue
The GIDA (not KAKAKI) player is quite good. I'm still wondering why the call it KAKAKI
I was under the impression kakaki is a Yoruba instrument? But then all these groups are blends and borrow from each other...
Kakaki is Hausa not Yoruba.

If you want that you can listen to Zule zoo jam jam.
I disagree. Keep traditional as it is. We don't rewrite classical pieces by Mozart to keep up with modern times...
