Notice how most of the women’s traditional gear is revealing and most the dances involve moving of the waist and kicking legs up high?
That’s because in Africa women were respected, protected and honoured as the givers of life and nurturers. Their bodies were never sexualised. Not saying evil things didn’t happen, but “what was she wearing” is new in Africa.
We protected children and raised them to be responsible and productive. In my culture (Zulu), the beads had meaning, it wasn’t just beautiful colours and shapes, it had meaning and putting it on communicated to those who understood.
We farmed crops and stock and we shared. Communities would bring their harvest to the King it would be distributed to widows, orphans and all the vulnerable. We had our own medicine that came directly from Mother Nature FOR FREE, no side effects. We ate organic food straight from the source, and on the right season.
Our education system was better because we learnt skills to sustain lives and for generations to come, not slaving away chasing “a dream”. We respected nature and could read her signs. We lived in mud houses (cool when it’s hot, warm when it’s cold), therefore never needed air conditioning. We had our own SPIRITUALITY but let me not even go there. Don’t even get me started on our beautiful languages out here, so rich, so historic.
We didn’t need money because being alive is free. It’s a birth right and Mother Nature is fair to give us all sunshine and rain every now and again ❤️
I just thought I should put it out there 🤣
We were dispossessed of so much.
Thank you, Nombali.❤
Mathokozi🙏
Beautifully put, I cried. Thank you sisi💞
🇿🇦🇿🇦🙏🏾
Proudly South African 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
I'm a Congolese girl, who grew up in South Africa and now lives in France. Seeing you guys react to countries of my heart fills me with joy. South Africa is beautifully diverse, rich in landscape, culture and people!
🥰🥰 We love this! All of Africa is so beautiful to us.
It really is. Hopefully you get to visit the African as well as the European continent some time in the future
African Lov you Hun🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I agree about Ghanaian here visited south Africa is beautiful
We love you in SA! You’re always welcome, Africa belongs to all of us ❤
Fun fact : Historians actually believe that the US stepping dance actually originated from South African gumboots dance. As it was found in South Africa before it was seen in US black universities "colleges"
Facts👌🏽
Oh they do gum boots dance there now?
@@christid5838 well they started doing it a long time ago during their segregation period. But theirs is not exactly like gumboots dance, like they don't wear boots
@@christid5838 we've been doing it for a very very long time.
South Africans when it comes to dancing they are a marvel to watch
The Tsonga dance is not as Easy as it looks. 😅
The Khoisan are my people - my maternal grandma was Khoisan. I'm super proud of them.
Love the dance. But then, I’m Tonian.
Finally saw someone who claims Khoisan with an African surname and not Afrikaans or English
@@kznindaba2728 there’s so many of us though, from Batswana , Basotho and Amaxhosa. Even one of my Zulu friends looks exactly like Saartjie Baartman. It’s crazy that we’ve been told otherwise.
@@leigh4326 And our mindset have been messed with for centuries
Khoisan is a derogatory name. Which ethnic group are you from. What is the name. Khoisan is not a race. Never existed
One thing about the African child, and I mean all of us all over the world, even if you've never set foot in Africa, one thing about us....we're connected through music and dance. The others will try to do like us but they'll never understand that the music controls us, not the other way round. Love from 🇿🇦/🇧🇼🔥
Much love! ❤
Hi Army 💜👋🏾... And you speak truth.
Hey I'm a Zulu person and use to do the Zulu traditional dance, the first 2 days are the ones where you die when you sleep and wake up with sore legs but after some time you don't feel anything much like exercise.
Even the video where the guy says it is a Ndebele donga(the snake) the girls on that video was my former group (all Zulu girls in Spain)
The Gumboots was use to communicate frustration or sorrows. There is a song that says 'we are suffering in the hands of a white man' that is still sang today. It was quite similar to what slaves use to sing at/in the plantations.
Ke Mazulu ! If you know you know 🤣
Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Did you stop dancing? If so, why?
Lol the guy who made the video doesn't sound South African with his pronunciations and calling ukusina karate (I'm Zulu so I laughed at that one) 😂 but he covered most of it at least. A for effort 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
That's a Kenyan accent.😉🙈😂
😂😂😂
hes trying shame lol
The Analysis of African traditional dances... Southern African countries up to Zambia mostly dance with the feet, from Zambia going up to central Africa they use the waist, the upper body, the part of Africa that bends the people there dance and bend, 🇳🇬. I love my continent. 😊
I'm proudly Venda🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Much love!
It's funny that y'all mentioned the connection to the divine nine fraternities and sororities cause apparently the stepping that is so richly an integral part of black greek orgs originates from black South African minors during apartheid. It's originally known as "gumboot dancing" (the last dance y'all saw) which they used to signal and guide each other through the dangerous and dark gold mines however you can see similar dances/steps in the other dances too. I am from the continent but it's so fascinating to me that no matter where in the world we are, somehow we all have a connection to one another. No matter how much they have tried to strip her children of their identity, Mama Afrika always has a way of locating and connecting to all her children no matter where they are or how long they have been away from home.
You have said my heart... African by blood even if natured by othe things
We prefer to be called Zulus, Xhosas etc. African tribes is a bit demeaning. Love your reaction!
The fraternities learned the dance moves from South Africans who went to study at HBUs in the US.
"Tribe" is not demeaning. Not at all. These are all nations and also tribes.
Much respect thanks for the clarification.
In Kenya and Tanzania whining / waist dance in coastal tribes is intensively practiced and taught where you whine with objects on your head and they should not fall, while at the same time you dance in different positions. Thanks for learning African culture.
The Khoisan dance in almost identical to the batswana dance 🤯🤯🤯
Yip, Batswana also does the tsutsube dance, although it's a dance ya Basarwa 🙂
@@kgomotsotlhapane1161 It makes sense now that we've always been cousins 🙌🏼🤗
@@dineomadibo Southern Africans are all a mixture of Bantu and Khoisan people. The Batswana have a bigger proportion of Khoisan ancestry.
I am sad I didn't see sesotho dance,mokgibo and ditobolonya , proudly mosotho
Very shocking & disappointing, I didn't expect to see gumboot because it doesn't belong to any tribe.
Where is Ssotho dance, I'm dissapointed😢
Thank you for this reaction.. Im from SA🇿🇦 and I learned alot from this video
I love this video...and how you are making the connection between what we do here and what you do that side. It just goes to show that we can all be in different places but who we are innately will always find a way to express itself...
Vatsonga dance, is heavy what she's wearing on her waist called Xibelani 🇿🇦❤️
Love watching you react to traditionas of other countries. Look up Johnny Glegg aka The white Zulu. He was a white man singing and dancing with his Zulu friends he grew up with during apartheid era.
Tswanas and Zulus and Venda ❤
Great content 💜! I'm Mopedi from Bapedi tribe and our dance is called Dinaka (horns) because of the antelope horns used as trumpets. Just to add, did you know Rap/HipHop is a traditional thing in Afrika? We call it 'Sereto'.
Hi Kagiso. Where is your tribe located? We reacted to some of the rap.😊
@@TheDemouchetsREACT Located in Limpopo,Mpumalanga and Gauteng Provinces but mainly Limpopo is where most are.
A lot of our dances were originally ways to express stories or the natural world around us, there are a lot of moves that mimic birds for example.
I'm a Kenyan from the Coastal area. Girl, whining comes naturally, but it is taught. Mainly, in East Africa Coastal regions, the natives traditionally teach their young girls how to whine in preparation for marriage. One of our best East African musicians Diamond Platnumz from Tanzania, sings and exemplifies it in his video, though it is in Kiswahili. I bumped into yours and I love them.
I love Botswana the way they dance 😍😍😍😍
Botswana is a country
Batswana are the people/tribe of South Africa and Botswana
Setswana is their language
@@treasurenqobilesmith7667 I mean the makilikili those ones I don't know those batswana but I think they are good dancer too coz a lot of South African tribals knows how to dance much love to the dancer From 🇹🇿😍😍
@@treasurenqobilesmith7667 they are also found in Namibia and Zimbabwe
@@kamogelomolotsi1886 is Sestwana one of the Official languages in those 2 countries?
@@treasurenqobilesmith7667it is
Reacting 2 my country, I'm loving this
That dance style you said you were going to look for is called "Domba" dance also known as the snake dance 💃
Thank you.
😂 😂 Not you saying our Zulu traditional dance is karate. It's not that hard you just have to raise your legs
😂🤣 I'll need someone on standby to pick me up when I fall. Btw No offense intended.
I attend African dance classes and that leg raise is always the hardest lol😁 but it's so amazing
@@IrenaDeacon 😂maybe it's easier to us because we grew up doing it
This comment right here😂
@@spicefix_cooking lol
Tsonga people great tweakers of south Africa 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
African dancing is definitely more core workout not so much back and hips movements of the West. Which is why some are hard to do.
I had an African woman hold my waist and made me dance from the waist down down and every time I would move my shoulders waist or hips, sister would say no and push in my waist and say no deep bend your knees let them move your hips and dance on your feet - not your feet …. Man Dance classes ain’t got nothing on these dances and I’m West Indian ❤
I need to find an African lady to teach me!! I'm still working on building my core strength after having my baby.
if you wanna learn more about South Africa react to geography now
Proudly Xhosa ☺️you guys are amazing
Thank you!
Check toyi-toyi. The dance/chant of the liberation movement. It actually started in Algeria, it was brought from there by the Zimbabwe People's Revolutionary Army (ZPRA) -- the army of the Zimbabwe African People's Union. They passed it on to uMkhonto we Sizwe, the armed wing of the African National Congress, and it spread to the townships during the struggle.
Very true. The toyi toyi was created in ZIMBABWE
@@GrumpyTinashe Itwas originally created in Algeria. ZPRA added the 'dog bark'. The South Africans did not like it at first but then made it their own. I am ex-MK by the way, married to ex-ZANLA
@@ianbeddowes5362 Nice one Ian. Wish I could meet you for a drink and hear all the stories sir. Where you based in Mozambique? Are you in Gauteng would love to meet you when I come in November and drinks on me.🍺🍻 I would love to know what military doctrine of Umkonto we sizes (Russian, Cuban or Chinese) and many other questions. God bless you for your sacrifice and others like you

I love how you guys love and appreciate other cultures. SO awesome!
When I was a teacher (special education), we had an African dance troupe visit us. They roped in some of us (yes, me included) to join in. I was caught mid-dance when a deputy showed up offering me a position with the county SO, lol. He said if it had been up to him, he would've hired me on the spot.
Regarding the gumboot dance...African ingenuity at it's best and replicated time and time again among people of the African diaspora who colonizers and enslavers think they are forcing into submission. We ALWAYS create a NEW way to communicate and express ourselves. The enslavers took away drums, so we created samba on pots and pans. The enslavers forced Christianity on us so we created santaria and gospel to invoke our gods and ancestors. The enslavers stopped us from reading and writing so quilts and ironwork became navigation systems and maps to freedom in the North. WE ARE GENIUS. Guided by God/spirit, no one can stop us
You react to south african movies:
Silverton Siege
Savage Buaety
Blood and water
How to ruin christmas
The brave ones
Kings of joburg all on netflix
Correction Khoisan people called themselves as Khew Khew which means People. They've been around for more than 200 000 years* they are the longest living know tribe in Africa making the the first people.
I'm proudly Zulu,I speak Isizulu and from Kwazulu Natal ❤
There is no Basotho dance there I'm hurt. Plz react to Pantsula dance

Correct me if I'm wrong, but most of these dances can be seen in lots of fraternities and sororities
Oh wow, I am a South African and I'm proud of my country and our cultures 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

The Tsonga dance. Now you know where twerking comes from.
Proudly Swazi I’m happy seeing our beautiful attire
Look up a channel run by Asad El Malik, he is from Louisiana too, and recently settled in Johannesburg, South Africa. Connect with him and come visit. You will love it. Best value for money, and you will see the dances in real life.
Lol yes when we dance,we don't wear shoes so that we can connect with our ancestors
All these are beautiful dances. Please look up the traditional dance of the Bakiga people from South Western Uganda- Ekitaguriro. Also looks up the history of that dance.
As a South African I appreciate you guys for appreciating us. I watched 3 of your videos in one after the other. Stellebosch University is also in South Africa 😊
Wishing this great couple a long life and always holding each others hands no matter what
Thank you🥰
Seeing you react to this dances, smiling makes me proud to be African, though my tribe wasn't featured in the video, I'm still proud that my people from the diaspora watches and pride themselves in us. We love you guys❤️❤️

We are rainbow nation we know we're we come from
If you research more about African cultures you learn more about African spirituality and ways of life .... These dances are symbols of Ubuntu ...
I am a South African born in Johanesburg from my father from Malawi and my Mother from Ireland. South Africa is one of the most diverse countries in the world. It is such a beautiful country with beautiful people. The problem is our corrupt government.
Great reaction loved your energy and hearing your perspectives. Love from SA
Thank you! Much love!
Riel (or Rieldans) is a Khoisan word for an ancient celebratory dance performed by the San (also known as Bushmen), Nama and Khoi. It is considered one of the oldest dancing styles of indigenous South Africa. Also known as Ikhapara by the Nama, it is danced at an energetic pace and demands a lot of fancy footwork.
en.m.wikipedia.org › wiki
Rieldans - Wikipedia
🇿🇦 Well... the so called Coloured Khoi San people should also feature as part of your segment.
Take time to watch and share this half ignored traditional South African dancing 🎶🎵

Please checkout Uganda traditional dances, you will be amazed the rich African culture
I’m Tsonga lol
I'm a Zulu from South Africa
I remembered that I made a comment on one of your post about African Dance moves. That when it comes to Entertainment in Africa, is more than an Entertainment but lifestyle.
What I am trying to say is that, Africa is one with Nature. When you look at their Dance steps and both hands and body language, they revealed the movement of some setting living creatures and this makes it more beautiful. This is one of the reason I said in my previous comment in one of your posts that, African Entertainment is a life as to what we are. Because it is beautiful, Natural and REAL. Africans are One with NATURE!
The Batswana pronunciation was priddy spot on for a first try 🔥🔥🇿🇦💪
I am a proud Motswana n our dance has a variety of moves/routines.🤗😁
It most times not about dancing but telling a story with the moves especially when it is a combination of both males and female routines.
I love how you're so indulged into my nation South Africa, and I am growing to love you "The Demouchets" so immensely ❤
after watching this video of you guys reacting i received a message, well actually an answer from spirit, that says dancing connects us all, the earth is charged with energy, spirit and our bodies the soul. so seeing a similarity in all dances when they stomp the ground, we are actually charging up the energy, to heal, communicate and move spiritually.
🇿🇦
The Jackie Chan movie "The gods must be crazy" was filmed in the Kalahari desert SA, funny movie now that I think of it
Thank you guys,, just to see you guys reacting to this kind of dances or celebration's it fills us with joy & pride ✳️so hubble by that 😘😘 let's appreciate you
❤❤ Much love!
Those traditional dances are done on ceremonial days. That's not how day to day people dress and perform. It's respecting culture , preserving culture and being proud of your lineage. Americans know nothing about South Africa until they come here and see how it really is. People come from trubes just like the Irish or French, when it becomes an African yribe all of a sudden it is seen as being in the dark ages. So many cultures and traditions around the world have been lost. We as Africans will not let that happen. Ymcalling yourself as an African American, it should be an Anerican African because you no nothing about Africa. Africa is not a country. Come to South Africa and see for yoursekf
Fun fact, the stumping dance tribes have the most beautiful women in the country (arguably the world).
😂🤣😂😂😂 Zulus Pride is in us Bro
We Steppers!!! For sure
This narrator pronounced Xhosa incorrectly, he's clearly not south African
Search xhosa click song...that's dope af🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯❤❤❤
When if you do come to Africa one day, you can't just come to one country. There are more countries in Africa then there are states in Americe. If you want paradise according to Hollywood then go to Mozanbique and snorkel or scuba dive, you don't even need to wear a wet suit.
Now you were Amapiano dancing comes from its our nine cultures combined together
if you think SA has nine cultures wow😂
I don't think I know 🤣🤣
@@hleziphidhlamini1012 lol mta'kamah i wont say a lot but we more than nine cultures because he have about 30+ languages ,each language has its culture
@@karabonyathi5653 you nailed it,they just didn't want them to be a lot and cause much division.
@@spicefix_cooking yes the problem is we don't get to learn about it in school I just finished my matric last year I'm doing a module with African politics that's when I get to learn it. the thing is we did learn about it a bit in primary, but I did not understand the being (Xhosa and Mpondo )and (Pedi and Lobedu)different and I think there is little recognition of this topic in our country
I'm not sure if you guys love our South African dancesvas much as I love you too. You're such a gracious couple.
Thanks for appreciating our cultural tradition of dance.
However you guys did not include the Basotho dance, you have to see it guys - its electric.
Thank you for loving us.🥰 Send links to our reaction requests form (check description box).😊
Gumboots dance originated in Durban by the Zulu ppl
Just look where African Ametican comes from thats why they dance and sing well in the Africans
React to dance called "Pantsula/ sjeba" and another dance called " izikhothani"
i love how your husband is always flirting with you its so adorable
can u believe all this cultures are found in one country
My country South Africa have 11 official languages
That's because we are a lot off different cultures and tribes
There’s more
Shut out to y’all man don’t stop keep doing y’all things man love family 😂👍
The first dance is Tswana dance, I honestly don’t know if the San also do it. We and the San share a lot of cultural references.
Africans are connected to the ground.. We are of the soil.. That is why we dance barefooted
Those Khoisan dancers are actually from Botswana
Hi guys may you please react to scenes from south African icon movie Sarafina
Some people think that all these traditional dancing is something that are taught its not it something that you're born with so you move to the redium of the music
Hey family! We didn't realize the recording would show up so small. It'll be fixed next time.
Hey guys, big ups to you for willing to learn and explore. I'm South African and I feel its great injustice to start with dancing and not the music. This would require you to immense yourselves in the culture and move with the times. Africans love people trying to learn more about them, South Africans would take this journey with you. you just need to commit. bare in mind Africa is very young and urban. To give you perspective watch #Ubunifu space these guys react to African music right now so what we're listening to at the moment. also watch #Mansa Mayne who started doing music reaction ended up coming to South African for a couple of months. there are several American Utubers that moved from America to different regions in African.
I honestly hope I'm assisting because African tradition is simple to us but complex especially when you're scooping from the top. looking forward to your next video
❤
THANK YOU.
Thank you for reacting to this 🙏🙏💯
I can do 4 tradional dances. My friend taught me. When I see the dances I long to dance again but I am disabled after a car accident
Yes! I see it. Hbcu fraternity and sorority. Perfect example of how we are still connected to our ancestors. I got goosebumps.
