All mandinka, let's gather here and salut this guy for the job well done. I am mandinka from Guinea Conakry 🇬🇳.
I am too.
I am too👏🏻👏🏻
❤️❤️❤️
Wait so kunta kinte was mandinke
I heard she is called Fofana. I know that name is also present in Ivory Coast. Do we have the Mandinka tribe in Ivory Coast too? That would be cutting across 4 countries which is extremely interesting.
As a black american, this breaks my heart. Everyone across the world knows Kunta's name, but very few knows the struggle of his legacy.
I think you should put together all your videos touring Africa as a documentary
I love that we finally know what Kunta Kinte actually sounded like, his native tongue. Thank you, Maya. All of us here, in America thank you. And, the kids omgosh!! I can't wait to come there and shower them with gifts myself. Amazing footage 😍
Where are from..Gambia?
Lady Zenobia kunta kinte isn’t real btw
Dark web Limit he is real this literally is Alex Haley’s story about his family
Robert Scott how
@@tskcl2549 Are you for real or haven't known true Kunta Kinte story isn't fiction but a true-life story.
This is amazing especially to African Americans. Thx for this.
When you gone drop a video bro 👍🏾✊🏾
need to asap
@@JustYohannes absolutely bro 👍🏾
@Ms overcomer I live in the states but i want to visit them all
Thank you from USA.....THE AFRICAN AMERICAN CULTURE NEEDS THIS....ROOTS WAS A RITUAL IN MY HOME...THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS
Bro Gambia is looking like the best destination for people's I didn't even know Kunta kinte was part of Gambia this was a very interesting video you showed love from your Nigerian brother 👊🏿👍🏿🇳🇬
Kunta kinteh is from gambia.
Eadekolu check the link you will its an full interview of the Kunta Kinteh's present day family in his village The Gambia west Africa call Juffureh. That's the Link ua-cam.com/video/-SpkaAJTjkY/v-deo.html
More love bredda oneness always Gambia 🇬🇲
*As an African American , Roots and the story of Kunta Kinte was my first introduction to learning who I was and where I came from oh, this is a very powerful video. Nostalgia. Respectfully.*
I agree.
@@hardrock9159 The story is not a hoax; Alex Haley stole it from someone else. I can't remember his name but, he sued Haley and won I believe. Look it up.
@Zenme Yangzi get your pinky nose out of here or I visit you in the night.
@@hardtimes6175 the story was stolen from a book written by a white man named Harold Courlander. The book is called "The African".
@Robert Scott I'm not disagreeing. I know the story is fictional.
Am from Sierra Leone and they are speaking my language... thanks wode maya for this documentary.
Oo there is Mankinka language in Freetown
Bro you are doing a great job
I am from the Kinteh's family wode maya
Wow.. now I understand how Important it is for us Africans to acknowledge our Ancestors...
We STAND upon their shoulders to be here today (simple)
yo bro greeting from Canada i'm a gambian but i live in Canada please subscribe my channel
Blessings and Peace to you Mr. Kinte! Your family.s history changed the lives of African Americans as well as Africans abroad. I have the videos that were made of Roots and I have watched them over and over for the last 40 years! In my travels to Africa I hope to make it to the Gambia one day.
@@maimunajah2949 subscribe. to my channel. too
Beylee may I subscribe to u thanks
These are our people. We African American love you family.
If you had to write a book about your experience traveling the African continent, you will have so much vital information to share. Some of us have no ideas about information like this. Quality content
Exactly! This coverage felt more personal for some reason. Perhaps seeing the true story of Kunta Kente and his bloodline existing and persisting today has profound affects.
Protection and Righteous Guidance over all of the beautiful youth.
He taught me a lot. €Greatness
@@CHAPPAJANVISION Indeed.
DARLING MAAMEK great idea
I’ve learnt a lot about The Gambia through your lenses than I’ve known all my life
You’re indeed changing the narrative
I love the fact that Wode Maya excludes the negative side of Africa out of his videos.
Respect brother.
We need more brains like you.
No to #tribalism
No to #religious-beliefs-conflicts
No to #hate.
Just live your own life.
Glad to watch your beautiful videos. 💯💯💪
Our main issues as a people just brilliantly highlighted 👊🏿🙌🏿💪🏾
I'm sorry to say this but, what is so bad about Africa?? I hate seeing and reading this particular sentence "bad side of Africa". Guys plss stop saying this. Check the history and u will be wow about how those bad/negatives started.
Absolutely brother
I like your idea bro,but imaya focus on the positive image of Africa
We are tired African weakness from different media,that didn't give aposetive image for all Africans and other world,that is why Maya works to create a positive image for Africans and other world
The west has already than that for age.we need to Show tue positive side.
Wode, thank you for sharing your journey of Africa with us.
My step-mother is a descendant of of Kunta Kinteh.
Kunta kinte awaken my culture l cry every time l read Roots and see like he died bitter but his spirit still in Gambia
The Govt should establish a museum to honoir Kunta Kinte so that these pictures could be preserved in a builfing rather than in a suitcase. This is terrible. Good work Wode. Love love how the children react to u with love.
That’s facts but it’s also embarrassing to see all our black American millionaires not to invest in a tourist movement around this kinte family. Alex did his part and these celebrities should’ve picked up where he left off.
All the journey of the Africa to the world movement i think The Gambia has benefit alot more than other countries wodemaya has visited..who agreed with me?
Am a Gambian and I agree with you
Eric Newman maybe that's because he felt more at home in Gambia 🇬🇲 a very welcoming people 🙏❤️
I watched the film ,you know what happened to me that time! I cried, and wish my self to love my Africa. All African please laise your hand,and say we are African.aya Maya.
The guide should try movie dubbing. His voice is so powerful.
I thought the same too
I think so too. I'll tell him
Loads of ppl in Africa with this voice
Deep like the sound of water
Very truth his Amazing
The village needs a big statue of kinta to remind every African to be strong and resistant to imperialism.
they have a big statue in the village, on the way to kunta kinte island (james island)
@MoEz sgc But they have a Statue of him
@MoEz sgc this have nothing to do with that. We need to pay tribute to our ancestry
@MoEz sgc idolatry is when you use it to worship not for historical reason. Isn't it idolatry when they face the wall in Mecca and pray?
@@bahjeff I just saw old slave buildings.
Rest in peace binta kinte,my old friend. I used to sit in her bed room and talk to her before she passed to the ansetors. May Allah Suban watallah bless her with Jenna.ameen
amen
Rest in peace binta kinte
Love❤❤❤ what you are doing WODE MAYA. The family need help, if any one can help please try an help the family. Love you all ❤❤❤❤🇬🇲🇬🇲🇬🇲
They should be receiving royalties
Who should be receiving royalties?
Please brothers and sisters when you go to the villages bring pens, pencils and exercise books . The children will be so happy.
To our african goverments its time to take our heritage sites more seriously. There should be properly trained staff with facilities for educational tours. Why are we so bad at promoting our history while we teach the history of every other nation in detail.
@D C exactly.
I'm a Mandenka warrior as well
thanks bro I really appreciate
A small Country rich in history but ignored by the world. Those valuable pictures should but in a museum instead.
@s f thanks
much love..
The tour guide is totally amazing!!!! Love him...so full of knowledge and as a Diasporia n feel honored to watch this video and view this beautiful family
Awww how lovely Woda, more interractions with our african kids in your videos please 😇
He will make a great father one day 😄
@@goldenheart751 for sure 😅 he didnt look or feel akward at all
You definitely deserve a donation for this one. I will. Peace😊
That's great, I have always dreamt of going to junta's family village. You are going a great job, young lion👏👍
Wow, this african history right there. Thank you maya
Thats African hustle i can see dude a mile away
@@xr7tm475 shut up piece of shit
@@gsheverything_2716 African Piece of Shit Still Poor Still DANCING why the F..K U of all ppl Smiling & Dancing for "Its our Culture" Your culture is wack Thanks for Selling Me (i mean it )
Good job Wode Maya. The kids melt my heart. The love real and organic. Keep up the good works! Proudly African. One love!
The kente estate should be a money making business just like the big estates in Europe open their estates to the public for historical tours and souvenirs of the family. The movie ROOTS opened the pathway for the diaspora to search our roots back to Africa and made billions and is still making money from movies and books. This is a big deal. Wealthy African Americans including former president Barack Obama, should head a fundraiser to help open up this estate as a great cultural wonder in The Gambia. Enough said. “To whom much is given much is required.”✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
@Jewel this so true... wealthy African American do not care only for themselves. Just like wealthy Africans..😞
Can't keep waiting for others to do what we can do ourselves. Many have gifts. Such as fund raising. Start it and it will take off, many will be blessed from it. T- shirts, jewlery, videos etc. If we gave 5.00 a piece we could actually start something. We just need to start.
Jewel Obama don't give a f... about that. wake up
@Zenme Yangzi Rubbish Talk idiot.
Better to leave them alone
They will inject them with bad diseases or mess up their communities by dividing them.
Let the children show the way. 1love bruv.
And a child shall lead them 💖

I'm a simple person. I see a Maya vid pop up, and I click it.
Oooh i love my language Mandinka ,who else speak it?🤗👇🏿
Same here, they are speaking mandinka. I am mandinka from Guinea 🇬🇳 🇬🇳 🇬🇳
kounadi.k. Diawara would that be Mali?
@@tiyahisrael Guinea Conakry 🇬🇳.
kounadi.k. Diawara is Malian language much different from Mandinka language
kounadi.k. Diawara I’m asking bc I was doing extensive research on my AFrican roots.My DNA is linked 32% Mali,Guinea..I was told this is very high percentage for an AFrica American.I was also told through Africanancestry.com(a DNA company)that its a very high chance my DNA is linked to the Mandinka tribe.So far this is all the info I received but I’m looking more into it..
The tour guide is excellent... Wode Maya Much love to you from a Gambian
Thank you Maya we the Gambians are proud of you
Wode Maya for Africa, shine on with love of Christ Amen.
Wode Maya because of your interaction with the Kinteh family. I feel that your historical filming has come full circle as was left from Alex Haley, a great African American. I watched it starring Levar Burton where this film aired on BBC channel April, 1977. It remained arguably, the most revolutionary film in UK society where it had changed the face of black British culture. I am the first generation British to Jamaican parents. I am honoured to have met with this family. I seek more into my own Ancestry...Blessings 💜🙏👍
London Sunshine Corner please watch 8 videos of Jim Nduruchi
Yes, I also watched the Roors series in the USA during that time. Many people was educated about our history. However, so many later generations do not know our history in the USA. This movement is getting more and more educational and informative! Looks as though this series of travel is going to get more indept! Your travel, interviews and research will be equivalent or better than Dr. Henry Louis (Skip) Gates of Harvard University. Love it!
@@robinfreeman2696 Same with our young people here in the UK. It seem that we don't pass down our Ancestral history as we should. Next year I will be doing a double African 🇳🇬marriage Thanksgiving blessings for both my Michigan, U.S. children🇺🇸 in their 2nd Ancestral home Jamaica🇯🇲 Next year. This is in the wake following their respective white weddings in America. I plan to use the occasion to reveal my African ancestry to know my real heritage by tribe, culture and country. It will coincide with 🇬🇧UK Black History Month. It is one to look forward to. 💯💜💚💛
@@londonsunshinecorner9633 that sounds exciting! We will probably be having a traditional Ghanaian and "white" wedding next year as well. Don't know where the weddings will take place though.
@@robinfreeman2696 Wow! Congratulations, next year is an exciting time for everyone - Blessings!💜
Thanks Maya for sharing the history of Africa. I watched the movie as young child. It hurt then, as it hurts now. I don't believe the pain of history will ever fade. It will just make us stronger, to never let this happen again. Africa has to change there mindset. Join as ONE AFRICA.
I love African history thx Maya
Ronah where are you from
?
I lately know you and start following you, but am very glad that you visit my belove country The Gambia, keep it great bro one Africa one love
Man this is the same problems we're facing in Haiti specially in Jean Jacque Dessaline case ,believe me heroes like this should be considered as gods in their communities not to worship but to honor for theirs courage , bravery ,blood shaded for their nations . We let our ancestors down so much!! they are so disappointed of us. Kudos to Ghana for put Kwame Nkrumah in the center of attention 👏🏾👏🏾.
Its different here in Africa the colonizers make sure people living in Africa never remember the past and our educational system was totally colonize without any trace of slavery and past history,so many people in Africa don't even know our people are out of the continent against their wish and they make sure past resistance leaders are not captured in our history except you do your own research.
Wow man you out did yourself with this one 😍 thank you brother
this nearly brought tears of my eyes, just knowing a family of Konta konte actually exist. Nostalgic indeed. I watched roots when it premiered and d emotion it brought was awesome. Africa Africa, motherland
Brother Woyo it’s so beautiful that you went to the land of our phenomenal brother warriors of his Mandingo village of Gambia. Brother Kunta Kinte was so phenomenal as well as so uplifting too. Brothers and sisters in Gambia 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Omg Nagadef is Wollof 🇬🇲🇬🇲🇬🇲🙏🏿❤️Proud of you my brother what a great job my HomeLand Africa the Gambia the smiling coast of Africa
This episode is so educative ...a lot I've learned from it
❤️❤️❤️🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 Love to the Kinteh family from America! 👋🏾✊🏾🙌🏾🖤
I'm I missing something here? It is still not clear why this family is suffering financially after books and movies have been made about their family, the famous Kunta Kinte; where did the money go from the sales and royalties made? Wonders shall never end. Just wondering.
They don't get paid for books and films about kunta kinte
Bcoz the movie didn't connect with the family it is a fail narrative bcoz if u listen to the narrative an the movie u will understand that movie hasn't indicate anything like gambia or kunta kinte family of origin or even been sow that this movie history start here that why they lost the legacy of the documentary
Money probably went bac to the investors
Woda Maya you are squeezing my ❤️! I read the book Roots written by Alex Haley..Woda Maya my brother thank you!
Thank you for visiting my country and for making such a beautiful video. Keep up the great job!
Maya u dont know how much i love u mi to be a gambian wispect. From spain
Kounta kinté the black lion🇬🇲🇸🇳🦁
MAYA our African History is to be preserved, told and experienced through places and people in every country for every generation to grasp and get an understanding of who we are! It helps people to have a great sense of direction and pride of who you are. Why should Africa history be just a paragraph, or chapter in a book taught in schools. A child from 6 - 12 should experience that journey of their ancestry in their mind to make a lasting connection. It should also be connected with culture and community actives. The Guide is so passionate about history. You can feel the passion in his entire being. He seem to be carrying the weight of our heritage on him. It is heart breaking. We have an African saying were I am from that says "if you do not know where you are from! You won't know where you are going". That's why we have a generation of lost people. They can not perform productively because you do not know who you are and what you are made of.
God bless you for showing light on the importance of the preservation of AFRICAN HISTORY. #africatotheworld🌍
Africa indeed have a beautiful history. Propagating our history is just a headache. 🤦♂️
God bless you for the good work you and your crew are doing.Teaching us what we dont know or havent see before.MAYA100%
Tearing up watching this. Blessings to the Kinte family in Gambia.
I'm Puerto Rican i recently did a dna ancestry test it linked me to the mandinka people I'm so proud to say the least to know they're a part of my blood wow these people that i descend from are so noble, they are warriors, survivors, very respectful, very intriguing.
This is why we will help him and his team get to all 55 countries of Africa. let's donate. Maya I will continue to help you. Let us help him. Donate now You will finish this course. You go in style with comfort and be the eyes for us. What passion you have for Africa.
Wode Maya is a living giant in Africa! I really don't know if African know how powerful Wode Maya's work is for the rest of the world to see. I really do appreciate the information presented by Wode Maya and I will keep supporting him. God bless and keep you and your team safe during and away from your important works.
Wode Maya, AFRICAN AMBASSADOR to the World. Guys, let's support the movement. Africa to the World.
He left smiles on the children’s faces, that was beautiful and the way he respectfully and humbly had the conversation with the elder woman was acceptable. “Wode maya” “Aye maya” you are blessed, I scream to God and call you from afar, china and if God can hear me scream, I know you can hear me. Bless
Love learning about African my father is south African Bantu tribe 🙏🌏💖
Where are you from
Wode Maya am really impress with your rapid personal growth, you've grown wiser more humble and witty. From the days I used to watch you and say this black guy is really naive. I use to say ur Africa to the world movement would be wake up call for u to the state of Africa and Africans, and it was a wake-up call, but for the better, this experience has made you a better person intellectually. Your more wiser and more witty on your surroundings and more humble to your history. I remember when u said you didn't wanna get involved with all the politics and history. Now you know that they are an integral part to the state we are in. You cannot talk about Africa without talking about the history that was and politics that's fucking us up now. But I salute your personal growth, I use to cringe when you didn't know how to behave around Candice. You lack etiquette a bit, but now your wiser humble and witty.
Our former president doesn't support this beautiful village but i think the new administration will consider them
Say former presidents cus Jawara was there before Jammeh. Don't put all the blame on Babili Mansa besides A government isn't there to support families, they're there to work for the country in General. Thank you!
Oh wode Maya you are amazing! What a great documentary of the hero kunta kinteh and his family ...we barely see this. I think it is time for the Gambian president to pay homage to this family...because they made history!
purely amazing to see where i come from...I am so proud !!!!
Maya you can be a teacher too God bless you
Thank you brother Maya for what you are doing. I am very emotional watching this.
Beautiful children,beautiful laughter of children,Maya you are so so so good with children,I saw you with the Chinese children and with this one I see the same thing,you make a very good child ambassador. Wow Maya this so humbling.
I am beside myself. Thank you for bringing this to light. Love and Light to you.
😊😊😊😊👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 Maya I'm going to Ghana, thank you so much for your videos.
Well done Brother for highlighting the plight of the kunta kinteh family. I hope help comes to them soon. 👏🏽
Great episode. ....Africa to the world. ...Bos Gh Bos Gh
Gambia 🇬🇲 the smiling coast of west Africa ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great peice of reporting. I visited Juffre many years ago in search of Kinte family. I met the chief at the time. They were very warm and loving people. I wish them nothing but love and prosperity. God bless
African children are the most adorable. Don’t @ me. 😂😂
What she's saying is very touching and says a lot about The Gambian govt poor management of funds. From people coming to interview her for writing purposes to tourism, this place should have a new face. These pictures need to be preserved.
#wodemaya#Africatotheworld
God bless you, Wode Maya. Continue the good work, my friend.
Hey,that's my brother, Lamin Trawally.
Great job done by both maya and Trawally
African union must support this
😂😂😂 don't hold your breath
thanks for making me see these people thank you ... kinta ... was our brother
Wode Maya,
My question is ; what is the government doing with your tour guide ? This man have the qualities of holding a post in the government. Historically he is perfect, his English is one of the best, he is an intelligent man and can change the country if he is giving the chance. I think it's good for him to try in politics, he can change many things in the Gambia, his voice is powerful. God bless you and Maya for the good work.
Woow Wade Maya i was just talking to my kids last wk about the movie Roots (kunta kinte ) and now here i see u went to the family of kunta kinte it was Amazing and i was silence and happy ALLAH BKESS YOU BROTHER.
Thank you WODE MAYA,
You’re doing a great job! 👏👏👏👏
The government have no used for them the old woman says what a sad story 😭🙏🏿🇬🇲
Amazing and love the fact u put the anthem on at the beginning x
I still have both the book and Movies of Kunta Kinte. Stored in my archives .
Wow what a history! Africa is the place to be. I thank you Mr. Wode love from Kenya
A lot of monies made from books, a large amount should have been presented to the family and the upkeep of the compound/buildings. The Arab government should give monies to the family members too for their involvement in the slave trade - forced into bondage of this proud people. It's a shame after so much monies made by many and lacking in numerous ways. Now. I know why the Arab involvement was not mentioned but I'm doing so now. The Blessings of Hashem - Adoni pour down upon them with Holy Spirit, power and fire in the name of Yeshua
Winston D I Like That👊 Respe💪t
@@winstond657 I'm on Facebook messenger text me and let chat. LOL, it's so true what you have said! We have to gain reparations by any means necessary! Be wise in whatever means necessary, ok?

Remain/stay strong as a Strong minded Black man, or melonated man!
@@winstond657 I like what you said, but you either tread smartly or foolishly. I think Akon is the best example on the road to take. Stay safe!
Yes! Kunta Kinte was a real person!
I’m trying to fight back the tears as I write this…..
I just received the results of my Ancestry DNA test today, and found out that Kunta Kinte is my 4th Great Grandfather.
I brought DNA kits for my husband and myself over 5 years ago and kept putting it off, because everyone was saying “Don’t do it! You don’t know what Ancestry will do with your saliva….DNA.”
We’ll, I’m going to be 75 this year! King Charles and I share the same birthday November 4th 1948…..so I felt like it was “Now or Never!” And, believe me…..I am sooooo glad and I’m sure that my family is so glad, too, that I followed through with the DNA test.
Next Stop…..The Gambia! 🇬🇲
We have a whole lot of family members that I would love to meet, hug and kiss……before it’s too late.
Wow! Kunta Kinte, my 4th Great Grandfather! I Love It! 🧬
Nice and educating video keep the good work my brother Africa is proud of you
Well done wode maya keep up discovering the beautiful continent of Africa
My brother, watching this brought a tear to my eye. Not knowing exactly where my origins in Africa are, but still knowing we have unknown Kunta Kintes throughout western Africa who went through the same experiences as he did is emotional for me. We are all family. I pray this place is maintained and redeveloped for the family and for people visiting this historic place. Good job on this video.
You doing good bro, stay bless
Yes i liked that when i was in Secondary school.
Yes it is right time to share our stories and african culture
