@@ToddjaEunique I am a Black-American woman who took West African dance in 1979 when I was 12yrs old and remember being taught the dances my ancestors did back Africa. During the 1970s Blacks in America were more knowledgeable about their African roots and walked very proudly about it. I always knew we were Negros. When I hear the drums they take over my body and I surrender.
When the girls dance, they look like they weighed nothing and were dancing on a floor with springs... when in fact they have springs in themselves... powered by the love of music and dance. Beautiful and artistic.
The African drum is such a spiritual instrument! It relaxes me every time I listen to it. If I'm having trouble sleeping and I play a video of it, it puts me to sleep 😊 The vibrations and sounds it produces are powerful!💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
These dances remind me of the primary school dances back in Kenya. I wanted to join the dance club but I was too shy😂 School was lit during these dances🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@ToddjaEunique Anytime. I really can't believe how good you all are. And right, wrong or otherwise & though I'm white, I love seeing just African in this group. (My husband is Shona -African & a fabulous drummer himself).
It's West African Dance, in general, from the Mali Empire, before it was colonized/ split into countries. However, this dance is from the Balanta people now found in countries colonized to be called Guinea-Bissau, Guinea, Senegal, and The Gambia.
Myself (Toddja), Mama K was one of my teachers! I’m have always been inspired by her and since she has passed some of the pieces I put together are a tribute to her. 🕊️ this is a huge compliment so I thank you so much 🙏🏽💖
