Thank you for sharing🙏🙏

[@michaelmichael8314]

If it were possible for someone to sit down and even just glance at every single ancestor they had, one human lifetime would not be enough. People dont seem to comprehend how many ancestors one person has

[@WindTreeStudios]

Great insight! I recently got the my ancestral lineage genetic test results back and was amazed at the diversity of my individual background. The genetic test is like a snapshot of what you're talking about.

[@WindTreeStudios]

Thank you for these great compliments! I'm trying to get back into my studio to record some more African percussion and vocal pieces but just haven't had the time. Reading your comment just now motivates me to create more music. At my deepest fundamental level as an artist, I believe this song passed through my mind and spirit into this world and I was just a servant to ancient voices that wish to be heard in our world at this time and to help people remember the deep truths that reside in their own spirits.

He presents himself as if he were one person, but I have it on good authority that he is actually a large committee of enlightened beings merely pretending to be Douglas!

Whoever did these....did an excellent job however I see he titled the song as "Mababu Milele" of which I believe he meant "Mabaphumelele" meaning let them prosper or succeed in isiZulu langauge one of South African native language

[@WindTreeStudios]

Thank you for the compliment and insightful comment. I composed the lyrics of this song in simple phrases of Swahili. I see on the map that Swahili originated relatively close to South Africa but is significantly to the north in a region that is considered East Africa. Phonetic overlap between the two languages is not surprising considering their shared history and relatively close proximity. This is reminiscent of phonetic interrelatedness of many of the Romantic languages of Europe. I had fun composing and recorded the song in my home studio and I perform all of the drumming and vocal tracks you hear. May the ancestors Spirits speak to us at all times and bless us and guide us as we pass into the future!

[@WindTreeStudios]

Yes I do because I researched, composed and recorded the song myself. Please read the description under the video for more information. 😊😊

[@olivebansa7467]

This does not sound like anything I have heard in West Africa? Or did they mean Zulu, South African’s?

[@WindTreeStudios]

This is an original composition not oriented from or toward any specific regional location in Africa. The use of Swahili was based on the availability of easily translatable words during the song writing process.

[@mosopologoletlalo-ks6hg]

Why did they took our art artefacts abroad why and for what good reason and objective?

Last month's cover story of National Geographic Magazine covers this story in great detail and will answer all of your questions.

[@Originfor45]

the beat doesnt sound like african

[@WindTreeStudios]

You're probably right. I'm no expert on African rhythms and this original piece is my interpretation of African drumming. I used the word "African" in the title because that's the closest keyword to reference this type of music.
