The song originates from the area of Cameroon but the circumstances surrounding the time of the song's origin are less clear. Some sources indicate that the lyrics are, at the very least, a lament from the point of view of a single soldier,but other aspects of the song, including the way it is frequently performed (see cultural context section), has led to conflicting claims that the song is a tribute to African soldiers of World War II or a criticism of Africans who collaborated with European colonial authorities.The song is still used today almost everywhere in Africa by soldiers, policemen, boy scouts, sportsmen, and their supporters, usually during training or for rallying.It is particularly popular in Cameroon, where it is used as a marching song or rallying cry
Thanks 🙏🏻

@@defense200x it's simple like that bigger can do more 😅
there wasnt as much exposure to music how it is now, its an amazing piece, and thats why shakira paid homage to it, now this song has heard more than it wouldve.
A lot of us are here to hear the original version because of Shakira’s version. We wouldn’t be here without that version. We appreciate both and we are thankful that someone guided us to this beautiful song.

Did Shakira strike you? It would make sense seeing what the society of today has become.
@@LoLingVo I don't think it was her specifically but her record label. They tend to do that a lot

@@somerandominternetuser5730 they tend to be stingy, they are giant companies after all.

@Levi because they stole from Africa, lol
@Levi and now they are making "charities" in Africa which they think helps them but is actually making their situation worse and braking their development, imagine an African man who is skilled in some labor, can't make decent money, because there is some delusional student volunteer from America coming to work there for free and stealing their jobs, lol.

We had all types of fun dressing up and dancing to this in Cameroon 🇨🇲 in the 90s.
Lemme explain the ambiguous dilemma I faced while listening to this song. First, I'm from Congo 🇨🇩, as a kid growing up we used to sing this song as part of all games we were participating in, either marble games or other kid games. I didn't know what the song was, till I had a phone. I was keen on knowing the original song but when I heard of "Waka Waka" by Shakira, I was like in two worlds where I didn't really question too much about the sound, coz we used to sing this original masterpiece. So I was lost in words since words don't litteraly correlate. I'm finally happy to find my most favourite song as a kid growing up. Thank likewise, Shakira for letting this song being spread all around the world. For people who are blaming Shakira for not acquiescing the fact that the song "Waka Waka" was sampled , I just read an article on Wikipedia and it's clearly highlighted that the original sound behind her song was from a Cameroonian traditional song. I don't know the language sang in the song but I had a quick wink on the translation of this masterpiece and I really feel it. Such a gem!
Proud to be Cameroonian ☺️♥️🇨🇲
Very Good Music x 99999999

@@VinriPL during the Second World War Cameroonian were taken to fight the war on behalf of the Germans this song was made on behalf of the army that left Cameroon against their wheel because they were forced into hard labor so this song is mortivates any one in hard labor ,farming etc
@@brunakida142 If i good understood. Germany forced Cameroon people into hard labor? :(
Sorry , my english is bad:S
@@brunakida142 your comment doesn't make sense, Cameroon became a French colony after Germany lost all territories there in 1919, and until 1946 Cameroon was under full French control.

I was taught a version of this by a Cameroonian guy in the 70s. We used to sing "Ok zamina, Ok zamina, Ok zaminamina eh oh, zaminamina eh oh, ah eh oh" then "Ok (whatever your name is eg he called me "Bernio") Bernio, Ok Bernio, Ok Bernio-i-o eh oh, Bernio -io eh oh, ah eh oh". Then go round the room singing it with each person's name. He also taught me a Cameroon hymn (we were training to be priests) which went something like "Seeya batar, seeya batar, seeya batar, nimoabim..." he said it meant "tell God we are going to his house".
The fact that this is not on Spotify is just disappointing, this should be atleast 200m more views like popular music videos.

I really hope the original creators received their royalties. Shakira's claim to have just thought up the lyrics is just another example of the spread of cultural appropriation and stealing of intellectual property. I couldn't find this song on UA-cam. Glad to see it returned. Zamina Waka Waka from Jamaica
The probability didn't cause of her "claim" that it was an "insparation" and that it is their song with a slight twist. So probability no royalties sadly
There's no such thing as cultural appropriation. This is definitely a robbery though. Shame on Shakira!
The sad part is this song ends.
Such a beautiful song it has that upbringing beat that shows struggle of african countries.
