      You westerners have chosen the way of atheism and robbed your children and your children’s children the opportunity of experiencing the truly profound at an early age. It is the very foundation for soaring towards the sublime in later years. Such a deep pity I feel for you westerners. Your forebears knew better.

      @shelleymiddlebrook1265 This really was beautiful. I’m not a religious man but this was definitely special.
      I kind of feel the same way, though not as intense, as when I watched a video some years back of a NZ couple at their wedding and the groomsmen all started a Haka to honour them. I don’t think I have ever been so moved by something as I was by that moment. I’m not ashamed to say that it moved me to tears. I didn’t understand the language and I’ve sadly never been to NZ (yet!) but it was so pure and so powerful that I completely felt the incredibly strong energy and understood the message. It was just amazing to me that something that upon first glance and being a total outsider can look so intimidating and threatening but yet convey such love and support and emotion. (I’ve watched many more Haka videos since then and know that Haka is many more things then just a challenge) As you can tell, it really struck something in me. I hope to one day visit NZ and perhaps witness it in person. Much love and respect to you, the Maori and all First Nations and Indigenous peoples around the world from 🇨🇦

      I am not from a tribe of any kind I was raised in a cult, our music was very dull more of a dirge than anything else. I managed to get away from that and did some travelling. I happened to help a neighbour out at Waitangi Day celebrations. (She made huge batches of curried chicken and mussels with rice &would need help on the day). At one point in the afternoon they did musical and dance performances. I had seen a Haka so thought I knew what to expect, how naive I was. As soon as they started to sing I had this visceral reaction, I don't even know where it came from but, I sobbed big, ugly, tears for the whole performance. It was so very beautiful to me. My neighbour thought I was nuts.
      I'm sure you won't care, but I just wanted to say I had this similar experience with Music from your home.

      Because it is part of the culture over there. Black culture, that is. Music was a very important protest tool during Apartheid, and its now ingrained in the society, post-Apartheid. These angels grew up with song around them, which is why they are such wonderful singers, even with little direction or supervision.

In terms of dance....Well Africans all over the continent have that natural gift .

      @@kehindeemiabata4032 I am African, so I know. I was lucky enough to grow up in East Africa and then live and work in South Africa for a good amount of time - so I can compare the two different societies. Music and song is a bigger part of South African society than any East African society; their protests, for example, are 90% song (and toyi-toying - look it up). The harmonisation you see, the singing in sync; it is much more part of a typical South African upbringing than any other African community elsewhere.

On our last night which happened to be my Son's 24th birthday, the staff came out and sang this song to him. First off I must say that I was so moved in my spirit and blessed by the song, I KNEW THEY WERE PRAISING YAH and ALSO SPEAKING A BLESSING UPON OUR SON'S LIFE. WHAT A BLESSING TO HAVE BEEN MINISTERED TO BY OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS WHO SHOWED US SUCH UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. I MISS SA VERY DEARLY, BUT NOW I KNOW,..WE ARE THE CHILDREN OF YAH AND HE HAS A PLAN TO REDEEM HIS CHILDREN. SOOOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL...SUCH BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE and THAT"S BECAUSE THE SPIRIT OF YAH IS UPON THEM.

      It's the norm for other black cultures all over the world. For example, black Americans have especially been known globally for their music for hundreds of years, with almost every American music genre coming from them. However, other cultures don't necessarily have musical cultures; so, no, it's not the norm for every single country. Every culture doesn't sing on a regular basis, or place importance on singing. In some cultures, singing is forbidden on religious grounds.
