I'm a drummer and percussionist and the first time I watched this I was so excited and it brought me to tears. The African rhythm is amazing. Peter toured the world learning different world music. Great reaction sweetheart. ✌️♥️🇬🇧
Peter Gabriels music seems to relax me so much. I always get lost in the beat and forget about all problems of this world. I love your genuine reaction to this song. Much love and peace from the USA.
Diversity is what Peter Gabriel is all about. His writing and sense of melody’s are truly, unparalleled. As always, you’re so fun to watch videos with!
Young lady he has been fighting against the racism and poor treatment of the African continents people most likely before you were even born. Listen to his song BIKO and you will understand where his music is coming from. Its from the heart
Language: Wolof. His drummer, Manu Katché and his good friend Youssou N'dour are from Senegal where Wolof is one of the main languages. Peter has been fighting FOR Africa and Africans since the 1970s (in 1980 he released "Biko" about how South African "Security" personnel tortured and murdered a political prisoner Stephen Biko ; he later was asked to play it live for Nelson Mandela and did). A brilliant Live performer with top tier backing (Tony Levin on bass, from King Crimson, is a genius). Peace, Fay- glad to see you enjoyed an Englishman"s version of African music, as I have for years.
@@TheMudman2010 Thank you, sir- I clearly misunderstood Peter in an interview some years back, and I appreciate your politeness in letting me know. Peace.
@@27thangel23 Hi. I'm a Manu fan and have to suggest a track by Robbie Robertson called Somewhere Down the Crazy River. I remember reading about Manu when I was a kid. His take on drumming actually being dancing really stood out to me when I picked up some sticks in '85.
@@MrRezRising Great thought! I actually own that CD, one of the best ever made. Robbie and I are from Brantford... well Robbie was Ohsweken, but school in the 'big' city. Peace love and paisley.
The female singer is Paula Cole, who had a couple of hits in the late 1990s. And Peter Gabriel was the lead singer of Genesis, but left for a solo career in the 1970s. Check out his "Solsbury Hill."
The bass vocal near the beginning is sung by the violin player, Shankar (he has a very wide vocal range). I saw this tour and it was the greatest live performance I have ever seen. Everything about it was top tier, music, musicians, set, sound lighting, choreography, etc. And yes, they were having a fun, which really made it fun for the audience too. I suggest that you check out the whole video, Secret World Live, which was filmed over 2 days in Modena, Italy in 1992.
Nice! I haven't seen that video in two decades. Peter Gabriel taught African rhythms to us kids in America without our knowing it. His song "Games Without Frontiers" blew my mind in 1980. I was only thirteen and nothing else on the radio sounded like it, not even Talking Heads. I bought the album on cassette and wore it out. I bought it again on cd fifteen years later. When you're ready for more from him, check out "Biko" or "A Different Drum" off The Passion album.
A treasured classic from Secret World... a world song, magic touched the world when this was made that night. So beautiful, such power, love and unity... the song is like a prayer of all humanity.
Always loved this song. Peter used to be lead singer with Genesis. He has done a lot of work campaigning for and supporting African rights and works with African artists such as Yousou'NDour 🎶💙✊
Loved seeing you really get into this reaction! It's hard for me to listen, let alone watch this track, without wanting to move in kind with the performers on stage.
Well, this is what happens when one combines multinational genius, it unleashes multinational beauty! The female solo vocalist is Paula Cole, the baritone African man is the late Papa Wemba (may he rest in peace 💞). No one comments on the brilliant drummer, (damn, his name keeps slipping my mind!), but he is one of the most expressive drummers I ever heard! Jean Claude on keyboards was art in motion, and I've never seen anyone else rock satin shorts and a tuxedo jacket, the man was the king of cool, lolllll 😂😂🤣. The one element I'm certain of was Papa Wemba dancing what looks like a Massai traditional tribal dance, which I thought was thrilling. Other reactors have covered this performance, but I'm going to be be enjoying this reaction many times over the upcoming holiday season. Thank you Fay, I'm fascinated by your accent, and well captivated by your lovely facial features. Stay well, it'd be excellent to see you post a few hundred more reactions. 👼🌹
The drummer is Manu Katché, who also played on albums by Sting, Joni Mitchell, Joe Satriani, Dire Straits, and others. He's also played live with Afro Celt Sound System, The Eurythmics, Simple Minds, Al Di Meola, Youssou N'Dour, etc. He is quite the excellent drummer.
Peter Gabriel is one of the best at combining his modern music with African beats, words, and sounds, and also wrote a fantastic tribute to Stephen Biko. If you like this, you may also have heard of another artist named Paul Simon, who produced a Grammy-Award winning album, with the backing of Mariam Makeba, and the group Ladysmith Black Mambazo (who I had the pleasure of seeing in concert). The album is called "Graceland", and is considered by many to be a masterpiece.
Peter Gabriel is fantastic. This song was was the backdrop from a famous movie in the late 80s. This performance was spectacular and so was your reaction.
Haha I fell in love with this song from a movie, '"Say Anything..." I loved it so much I bought the film soundtrack CD. Many years later, I heard/saw this performance, and it blew me away. I can't listen to it without coming to tears.
The joy of music crosses many cultures. Beautiful, joyous and spiritual come to mind. A couple of the best nights of my life were seeing Peter and company at the Marcus amphitheater in Milwaukee. Magical nights that I relive through these kind of videos.
I read that according to Peter Gabriel himself, the lyrics to "In Your Eyes" would be inspired by African tradition, and could either refer to a romantic relationship between a man and a woman; or to a divine relationship between someone and their God. 🙂 And something has not escaped me. The drummer is French, I recognized him straight away! They are Emmanuel Katché (known as Manu Katché), his mother and French and his father is African (from the Ivory Coast); on the other hand, he returned to Africa when his son was only two years old.
Yes but Biko died arguing for justice and honest treatment of the African people. This is where it started and all that came after are beautiful. ua-cam.com/video/luVpsM3YAgw/v-deo.html
For me, the highlight was Paula Cole. Her voice is so ethereal and elevates the performance to a different level. Her crystal clear tone contrasts starkly with Gabriel’s rather gravelly timbre. She is best known properly for singing the theme tune to Dawson’s Creek, “I Don’t Want to Wait” and also “Where have all the Cowboys Gone. Manu Katché the drummer is superb while the bassist Tony Nevin is something of a genius on Bass. The violinist and baritone (the deep singer you liked) is Lakshminaryana Shankar, another prodigy who was giving concerts at seven years of age. He pioneered the double-necked violin, so he has the range of violin and viola on one neck, cello and bass on the other. Papa Wemba is from DR Congo and his band is called Malakai. I think you would like Shaking the Tree which was written by Gabriel and Youssou N’Dour, a Senegalese, about liberating women and is in the same Secret World concert.
Peter Gabriel has always been a big advocate for World Peace. The Nobel Prize Laureates awarded Peter Gabriel the 2006 Man of Peace for his commitment to human rights and for his outspoken rejection of war as a means to solve conflicts. Also check pout his other live performances: *SHAKING THE TREE* , about women's rights, you'll also hear some lyrics in Wolof: ua-cam.com/video/3_Q79lls1f0/v-deo.html *COME TALK TO ME* , about his young daughter who stopped talking to him when he got divorced. This is a more recent performance, he sings with his daughter, now an adult: ua-cam.com/video/4J1gWMLbV70/v-deo.html *SOLIBURY HILL* about his decision to leave the rock band Genesis: ua-cam.com/video/GimLuOUVkxg/v-deo.html ...and although there are many great live versions of *BIKO* , his song about the late Stephen Biko, an Anti-apartheid activist who was beaten to death by the police after being arrested, I found that this version, created last year, is clear and sends a very positive message. It is performed by Peter Gabriel, along with musicians from around the globe, reinforcing the message that we are all, at the end of the day, one people. ua-cam.com/video/jWNEr4eHL18/v-deo.html
May I ask, what is that beautiful painting just above your left shoulder? I note that the joy in your eyes brings joy to mine. Thank you and best wishes.
I believe but im not certain Yousso NDour is from Senegal. I think French us widely spoken there, but the langauge in question the song is I believe to be Wolof which is ingenious to the area. Yes i agree with other comments cocerning Peter Gaberials connect to Africa and Africans. I think its awesome
Faye, there are two issues with this video: FIRST TIME HEARING Blues Traveler - Hook (Official Video) | REACTION The video does not appear and comments are disabled.
Clearly an African inspired song with Peter doing his best to replicate the moves of Maasai tribal dancers but not quite with the same level of prowess! ua-cam.com/video/qHRUYOU6DFo/v-deo.html
So from what country in Africa are you? It is such a huge continent. Peter Gabriel is so creative. He is one of the first to use 'world beat music' in his rock. I believe the second language is Senegalese. This beat is so infectious and joyous. He started in Genesis, an English progressive rock band. He played and sang there with Phil Collins who was the drummer and backup singer. When Peter left for his solo career. Collins took over the singing. I think you would also appreciate Mr. Collins solo work. Genesis is one of the world's greatest rock groups, selling over 100 million recordings. So you might look into them.
First let me just say that you are distracting from the song, youre just too cute. I can say that cuz Im an old man and no one will take me serious anyway. lol. Next...Peter Gabriel is amazing. I love the African undertones in the song and at the end its definitely African. Its just great music...makes you want to get up and move. Its also an amazing love song....

Actually...the baritone voice you hear in the song's intro is the violinist, Shankar.
Look closely and you can see him at the microphone singing it.
Papa Wemba was from DR Congo, so I don’t think it Masai dancing. Unfortunately he died on stage in 2016.
And the two African dancers who stay in one place are from Malakai, Papa Wemba’s band.
You are a beautiful soul ❤️
