Hands down the best dances and nobility dances originate from the Caucuses. The attire, the movement, the sound it’s just perfection. Very intrigued by the culture.
I discovered the beauty of the Circassian people by exploring YT. The first time that I saw one of the dance performances I was hooked. Thank you for enlightening my world beyond its comfort zone.
That’s what people who have experienced ethnic cleansing and genocide do - we preserve our culture as means of protesting against our enemy (Russia). We are very ethnocentric. Most of us are pure Caucasians despite having lived in the Middle East for over 150 years now. My fellow Chechens from the motherland Chechnya recognize me on the streets here in Europe despite the fact that my ancestors have been residing in Turkey since their exile from the Caucasus in the 1860’s. Some would call what we do racist or discriminatory, but we’re just trying to make our culture and identity survive.
@@Seca95I have done research on your people and it pains me the horrors you are going through and that people are enjoying your native land unduly! Sick to know that they will never get enough from their sick deeds! Now here we see Ukraine going just like how their ancestors eat up Siberia and Muchuria! Sad indeed! Please reply to me so we can discuss deep aspects about your homeland!
@@Seca95 The only time a practice of a people is called racist it is because someone is trying to destroy that people and degrade its identity. Keep doing what you do. And thank you. I love the music, the dance, the energy.
Thank you Israel for giving our Circassian compatriots the right to equal citizenship, education and culture in their native language. Circassians love you very much.
Wtf!? Most of us do not recognize Isra*el, they are no different from the N4zi, Russians empire Bad propaganda to cover up their brutal crimes and genocide against the Palestinian people!
I remember their name but did not know anything of their past or current history. Thanks for the knowledge and I'm impressed that these unique people are able to maintain their beautiful culture and customs. 😊
@Pteromandias It was called Palestine since a very long time, since even the Canaanite period (land of the Philistines). Even Israelis used to call themselves Palestinian before the declaration of Israel.
I saw one of their wedding dances on You Tube and that was it. Wow. India, thank you for sharing this. I have a much better understanding of these amazing people.
Образец величественной, высокой культуры и еë великолепия Черкесской цивилизации, которая рассеяна по всей Планете,,, А Страна -- Черкессия, разрушенная Русской империей в сто летней войне, за Свободу и Независимость, в Х1Х веке , и миллионы Черкесов потеряли свою историческую Родину, которая заселена другими народами, только не Черкесами,,,
На Черкесских землях сейчас живут вот такие пришлые дикари. @user-vl1pu4wl1t vor 1 Monat Смешно аж 😂 Которые днём и ночью выискивают что - нибудь про Черкессов и поливают своим дерьмом, не нодо на них обращать внимание, у всех кочующих цыган это в крови и они не исправимы. Врать, воровать чужое, умеют лучше всех
Pare che la madre di Leonardo da Vinci fosse una principessa Circassa, terra famosa già allora in Occidente per la leggendaria bellezza delle sue donne... :) Un saluto dall'Italia.
@@Dolf181 Женщину звали Катерина, она была черкесской княгиней, дочерью князя Якова, правившего одним из царств на плато гор Северного Кавказа: после похищения, вероятно татарами, она была сделана рабыней и перепродана Венецианцы. Путешествие от Кавказских гор привело Екатерину с цепями на руках в Азов, древнюю Тану, в устье реки Дон, откуда ее затем перевезли через Черное море в Константинополь в 1439 году: здесь она перешла в руки венецианских купцов, которые в следующем году перевезли ее в Венецианскую лагуну, а в 1442 году, в возрасте 15 лет, она прибыла во Флоренцию, где работала служанкой и кормилицей в доме Д'Антонио Реддити. Именно здесь Катерина познакомилась с нотариусом Пьеро да Винчи, от которого она зачала своего внебрачного сына, родившегося 15 апреля 1452 года в Анкиано, небольшой деревушке в муниципалитете Винчи. Архив Флоренции, подписанный отцом Леонардо, Пьеро да Винчи, флорентийским нотариусом, раскрывает акт освобождения Катерины «filia Jacobi eius schiava seu servo de partibus Circassie». Документ датирован 2 ноября 1452 года, примерно через шесть месяцев после рождения Леонардо, по просьбе рабовладельцы Джиневры д'Антонио Реддити, жены Донато ди Филиппо ди Сальвестро Нати. Ведь мы к ней хорошо относились. :-) Кажется, нотариус был влюблен, а госпожа Джиневра понимала...
I see the suggestion about Russia, in particular in this period. Don't forget, that Great Britain has exterminated the WHOLE POPULATION of Tasmania, and have killed hundreds of thousands in Australia. Some British men of that time even practiced men hunting on the local populations. The USA has massacred whole populations of native Americans, they have used black people as slaves during centuries. Russia should not always be the only one to be blamed.
@@eransasson20 Да , и RUSSIA , то есть оккупационная П РУССИЯ - точно так же провела массовый геноцид ЧЕРКАССКОГО НАРОДА - ЧРКАСС - ТРКАС - Благородные Носители Мудрости Славные Воины ... вы ж даже не знаете , какой народ уничтожили русские оккупанты ..какую культуру .. Очень надеюсь и молюсь за то , чтоб все колониальные страны , Англия - Америка - Руссия , свалились в одную помойную яму истории , как страшный сон , от которого пробудятся колонизированные народы .

Someone know that male dancer Circassian classical...this culture is so awesome...happy..healthy...nice music bet the foods great too..they eminate love & fun!!!
@@generaljg4373 Palestine is the colonial name given to Eretz Yisroel by Rome 2000 years ago to de Judaize Eretz Yisroel. They failed. It was Eretz Yisroel then and it is Eretz Yisroel now
@@generaljg4373 It is Judea, always has been, always will be. "Palestine" is a name given by non-Jewish colonialists from Europe, and "Palestinians" are non-indigenous colonizers from the Arabian Peninsula.
Actually islam and arab are two different things islam is a religion and Muslim are people who practice it they come in all kinds of ethnicity race and countries while Arab is an ethnicity
those Zionists are no different from the N4zi and Russi4ns empire Most of us do not recognize Isra**el, Bad propaganda to cover up their brutal crimes and genocide against our Palestinian brothers and sisters!
THAT IS AMAZING!! Although, I gotta say, chickie needs to dial-back all of the over-emphasizing hand gestures. As it is, she's a lot like my guy, William Shatner... Over-emphasizing. Every. Word! But the information is tremendous! The Circassians' garb reminds me of Sufi Muslims, the whirling dhirvishes. On my list for the next time I go to Israel!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!
Yes around 4000 and they are very proud to be Israeli,I saw one of their community leaders even say that the only country that has adyghe people that can wave their flag and preserve their culture is Israel.btw the former Israel football captain is a Circassian named Bibras Natcho ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-C-SfY9-5SiI.htmlsi=yM2hCKr4eAk0073h ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ODdFwPQZrLI.htmlsi=WgCd8fTxyLXYKAyM
@@amittoleThey are in Palestine! The Palestinians welcomed them into their land and lived with them long before you zionist settlers expelled them, I'm sure that there is no Circassian satisfied with what criminal Zionist colonialists are doing to our Palestinian brothers and sisters !
Copts, Maronites and even Kurds?????? May be in a parallel world but none of the above groups have any significant presence in Israel. Kurds are native to Northern Syria, Northern Iraq, Eastern Turkey and North Western Iran while Maronite Catholicism is the main denomination of Christianity followed by most Lebanese Christians while Coptic Orthodoxy is the main denomination followed by most Egyptian Christians
In 1948, the circassians chose not to murder all the jews instead preferring to share the land. Hence after tbe war in 1948, the Jews did not kick out the Circassian. It’s not about whether you are Muslim or not; it’s just whether you attempted to murder all the Jews
Since The Circassians are Muslims and if your husband don't like dancing or singing then he is a more traditionally devoted Muslim i guess ? you have my respect for you and your husband .
No there are still 1,5 million Circassians in their native land but in the diaspora since 1864 they're 8 million (mostly in Turkey with 7 million the rest are in Jordan Syria and Israel)
This is why ( see * & ** ) We must first refer to the civilizations built by the Circassians throughout their long history: According to the words of James Bell, the Circassians are 1. The builders of the Neolithic civilization in the mineral ages at the dawn of history, whose roots extend far back to the ages of the history of the emergence of stone man in the North Caucasus. 2. Maykop civilization 3. Kura-Araks civilization 4. Catacomb civilization 5. The Dolmenian Civilization 6. Civilization of the North Caucasus 7. The Kabanian Civilization These civilizations were built within the period of 4000 BC. to 1000 BC. It should also be noted that the Circassians with their various tribes participated in the establishment of the strongest and greatest empires, namely: 1. The Kimryan Empire, which extended its borders to include all the lands located in the Caucasus, north and south, all of Iran and all of Turkey.* 2. The Hittite Empire, which extended its borders to include all the lands located in the Caucasus, north and south, all of Iran, all of Turkey, all of Iraq and all of Syria.** And after the collapse of these civilizations and empires due to the external factors represented by the continuous and continuous external invasion, the Circassians rebuilt many states and kingdoms in the North Caucasus region: including 1. The Meiot group, consisting of the union of 25 Circassian tribes. 2. Sindh State. 3. The State of the Kasogs. 4. State of uniform. 5. In the first century AD, most of the Circassian tribes united with the Bosporus state. 6. Establishing the state of Zikhia.
I know that the Circassians are well-integrated and at home in Israel. I just wonder, however, if they are no longer considering to go back in the same way Jews in their diaspora are longing for their homeland in Israel.
The land of the Circassians is still occupied by the Russian Federation, so while they could go there, they would have a much worse life economically, socially and culturally (where their national identity is both neglected and suppressed).
They are in Palestine! The Palestinians welcomed them into their land and lived with them long before you zionist settlers expelled them, I'm sure that there is no Circassian satisfied with what criminal Zionist colonialists are doing to our Palestinian brothers and sisters !
@@amermh144 I indentify as Palestinian Circassian even tho the village is in Israel, as a Muslim we don’t belive on Israeli as it was originally Palestinian :) My dad is from this village
I have been enjoying watching the dancing on RU-vid for a while now but had no idea which nation or culture the dance was from. I had wondered if it was Russian dance. I’m so glad I came across this video to inform me about the people and the dance . Thank you
Ничего общего мы с русскими не имеем. Россия захватила Кавказ, но русскими мы не стали. Мы к русским не имеем никакого отношения. У нас разные, менталитет, культура, традиции, язык. Мы абсолютно разные народы.
lol no, majority are Muslim. The only significant amount are from mozdok (we’d call those from there mezdeug) in vladikavkaz. And half of the Circassians in mozdok are Christian.
You totally forgot to mention Syria! There are plenty of them along with the Armenians, too. Armenians fled the Ottomans long time ago, and came to Syria. They had been living there ever since
They are in Palestine! The Palestinians welcomed them into their land and lived with them long before you zionist settlers expelled them, I'm sure that there is no Circassian satisfied with what criminal Zionist colonialists are doing to our Palestinian brothers and sisters !
Любииые мои соотечественики Черкесы разбросаные по многим странам мы вас ждем на Родине. Только на Кавказе вы можите сохраниься как народ и не растворится в других народах обагатив их своими генами. Все кто уже вернулся из других стран и из Сирии говорят как они заблуждались что раньше не аернулись на Родину. 3:04

They were not expelled to Middle East or Israel but to the lands of the Ottoman Empire. Israel and the other countries were not exist then. This tragic exile was done and millions of Circassian died and the survivors settled almost every where in Ottoman lands from Balkans to Damascus and trablus provinces of the ottomans but mainly in Anatolia. Therefore most of the Adiges live Anatolian cities
@@GracedByAlaa im a circassian that lives in israel we do not consider ourselves palestinians as we do not really have any sentiment towards this land we live comfortably here as much as possible with the war going on and we get the same rights as any other also many circassian men are a part of the IDF
