Maasai Dancing and Jumping 

proud to come from this community that has stayed stuck to its roots up to now ...maasai girl

I visited the Maasai this summer in Northern Tanzania and was lucky enough to be able to spend a night at their boma. Their culture is so rich and beautiful, watching this brought back many memories. I have to admit I shed a few tears watching this and remembering the overwhelmingly amazing cultural experience. These people are so strong and awe-inspiring. I hope someday in my future I can go back and visit them again.

I think these wonderful people should enter the High Jump in the next Olympics. Kenya would almost certainly get a Gold!

These people were the happiest, proudest people I have ever met and in the Mara, I made several friends.

Swear I love the Massai people. So much happiness with what we in America call so little

One of the most beautiful cultures. I love it and one day I shall go and see for myself.

Great fashion idea! I never thought the purple and red would make such a beautiful contrast.

im proud be a part of this tribe.

Watched over and over- love the rhythm and singing everything about it is nice

Amazing tribe, Maasai means so much to me...

The music is actually therapeutic to the heart.

2:19 THIS IS MY JAM!

Maasai men themselves are warriors

Can you imagine when there were thousands of them...

its not really vanishing. they are one of the few tribes that refuse to give up their culture

Wow!! Such amazing culture & history. I can never get enough, of all things Masai. Talk about great genetics! Their stature, their customs & their culture is incredible! I am Swedish, Norwegian & Danish, but when i took my DNA test recently, i found i was 2% Eastern African, with Masai being my primary African ethnic DNA marker. Needless to say, i was so blown away & very proud of course. I wonder which one of my many thousands of ancestors, hailed from this amazing global region. In Europe, we say that the Dutch men are the tallest, along with some of my fellow Scandinavians, yet almost all Masai, many East Africans & Africans in general, are the tallest humans in the world. An amazing fact. My English is very poor & i manage with spell check to write this. Tack for sharing this video.

me too i am so proud to be a masaai

My community my age set my loving kind friends that we spend with now and then. i use to enjoy with them on such an occasion at Soit Nado kerdowney camp Amboseli.

it's amazing to see such pure and untainted form of joy from these people. life can be so simple...why must we complicate it?

This is awesome so unique i love it am so proud to be a Maasai

I was in the Masai Mara, Meru, Lake Nakuru, Samburu, Amboseli/Tsavo West areas in 1988 and loved every second.

Um dos povos que até hoje preserva e bem sua cultura. Viva o povo Masai 🇹🇿

It reminds me of my past time when I was a warrior...!!proud to be long here

Esiteti Area ,Amboseli NP, Kenya, Proud of this home guys👍👍👍👍

I weep at the sight of this video. This proud and noble peoples, once the great hunters and warriors of the Savannah, who, at the very sight of them, instilled terror in the hearts of other tribes, now reduced to dancing for a few pennies from rich German and American tourists.

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing this video about a vanishing culture.

Какие же все стройные и нарядные 🖐🖐👍👍👋👋

Maasai are such a good looking bunch of people.And that jumping looks like fun.

Some of the fiercest and most physically powerful warriors on the planet. A Masai warrior's right of passage into adulthood is to fight a lion and overcome, with nothing more than a spear.

hmmmhmmmmm its fun!found myself dancing to the rhythm of the humming!!!!

great music

they've probably been doing that jumping since they were little so no wonder they're so tall. The music is so soothing :)

I love this every time I watch this it is like being called home.

Simply amazing.

springs on the knees

this is awesome

sweet memories .....masai mara...in Mara Serena Lodge

One of the tallest tribes in Africa, they made made me look like a mushroom and I'm 6ft !

unbelievably cool!

Thank you , ik deel dit graag verder om mensen te laten zien hoe dit volk leef en is. en dat ze nu verjaagd worden voor de jaag is heel erg

wow! they are so tall!

Wonderful people...

stucked to its roots,Jah protect

I love the beauty of the tribal dances and I hate how it gets almost mocked unintentionally by rappers who don't even know anything about their own heritage.

Amo África ❤❤❤❤🇺🇾🇺🇾🇺🇾

like that song

Nice song my culture

bravest tribe ever

0:50 Lyrics: Jump High Jump High Jump High In the sky

am proud of my people

Ur crayyy, homie! :D I like ur wit..

I just love the song how can I get it?

luckily the tribe spontaneously broke into traditional dancing singing and chanting - simultaneously with the tourists deciding to get out of their bus - inconceivable.

Very good

I wonder how night they jump

looks fun

my grandad lives these videos and so do i

mara serena lodge.....once upon a time in there

hermosos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Song of journeys.

There is a trick to the dance. It's so hard to emulate because we westerners think of the dance as being based on body movement and position but when I was there I was very frustrated because I'm a dancer and I wouldn't stop trying so finally they told me the trick. I'll give you a hint though, it helps a lot if you wear one of their necklaces. Watch the men's necklaces. For the women's dances, you'e on your own.

2:30 DUUUDE! DUU UUDE!

Let's do a remix of this! We need to sample the jump high song! Edit: we Can't do that, let us something else

NBA comes to mind when i saw this the first time

I like this!! Please your jump！

My grandad is right there. One of of the guys in purple

What's the real meaning of the jumping scene in the massai's tribe?

Have you still got two bottles I ordered. Of maasalong

@vfra230185 I visited Kenya in October and was told that the highest jumper gets the pick of the women

3:17 OH MARRR

Imagine being on mushrooms 🍄 at night with this tribe !!!!!!!!

ERROW SOBA -HABARI JAMBO.

Awesome! Why is jumping so important to the Maasai? They seem to be so proud of the vertical height they get when jumping! Very impressive but why investing so much time at it? Beautiful community.
