      I just tumbled on this video. I am a South Sudanese (Dinka), google this tribe and you will discover that Balanta and Dinka shared one ancestor. The Dinka language is similar to Balanta language. I was listening to Balanta video where a Balanta old man was doing dome offering to a deity at a shrine... I was so so surprised to discover that the processes of offering and words use when talking to ancestors were so similar. Though, I have never been to West Africa (leave alone Guinea Bissau) I have heard some few Balanta words from the old man. This is amazing. Dinka called God "Nhialic" and Balanta called God "Nighale"...the writing is different but pronouciation is the same. The Balanta, like Dinka and other tribes, are Nilotic (people of the Nile). The famous Nilotes are the Dinka, Nuers, Luo (people of Barack Obama's father), Masaai etc etc...most tribes in East Africa (Sudan, South Sudan, Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda and Tamzania) are Nilotic people.

Our history is so deep and this connects the dots for me because it confirms the fact we came from Egypt/Sudan, to Guinea Bissau in which my DNA shows I'm related to Pharaoh Ramses III through my Paternal side whom ruled those areas. Also makes sense in why we are the People Who Resist!! He was a Israelite that took over the throne of Egypt and won 3 significant wars!! We don't play! Love you all!! Blessings!!

      Bafata is not a small town, but a city (the second capital of the country). Furthermore, Bafatá is not a Fula city, but a Mandinka one. The name itself is mandinga. I was born in Bafata and my mother is Mandinka.

    Great video brother! Just one correction, balafon and bombolum are not the same instrument. Balafon is similar to a xylophone, whereas bombulum is a drum with far reaching bass sound that is used most often to communicate important events between different “tabankas” (villages), such as a death of an elderly person, or even played at their funeral proceedings.
    Mantenhas! ✊🏾💪🏾

    • @rasaroots6309
      @rasaroots6309  4 роки тому +2

      Yes, the Balofon and Bumbolom are indeed two different instruments. At the time of making this video, I did not know, but now I know better. Do you know the B'rassa name for both instruments?

    • @mTchongo
