[@ralphlauren864]

Kente is traditional and originally known Ghanaian weave fabric, no chinese copy here, entire world is aware kente is originally Ghanaian. Very skillful handmade work, much respect.. I cherish mine from Ghana 🙏🏽.

[@oraclesofthebantupeople1055]

Government should offer youths incentives to preserve Traditional skills 👏👏👏

[@ALEXANDRABOAMPONG]

Kente weaving is one tough work. I see them do it and sometimes wonder when they will finish but it goes quick. Kudos guys.

[@Cindy4ctv]

The spider definitely triggered the designs as he mentioned. The story behind it is quite interesting it is my first time hearing this thank you am learning a lot here. I appreciate

[@dinewithsue6793]

This is MAD SKILLS AND TALENT !! They are the type of designers that deserve alot or recognition but sadly not. Beautiful desgins handmade God Bless their skills and take then far!

[@dorkuchotanihu9589]

I am glad that SAMUEL OPONG is well educated to be able to explain what they do for leaving and the names of the KENTE cloth the pride of GHANA OUR MOTHER LAND that's one thing they can't take it away from us.

[@malikwallace1899]

Love this Subscription..i really did learn alot about Ghanian Culture and Ghanian History..🙏🏿Peace and Light..

[@JasmineAmaa]

Thats my goal ❤️

[@EbsMileHighAdventure]

Their work is absolutely gorgeous!

[@marilynking5885]

I enjoy your vlogs makes me feel close to my ancestors. Much love from the Caribbean

[@Tentegen]

1.) The Bonwire Kente Weaving Center should start a website so that they can get direct orders from everyone everywhere. This should definetly help to cut down on couterfiets........or just make an Etsy store. 2.) They should make an additional thing where each weaver should be treated as an artist. They should be able to sew some sort of......i dunno..........small piece of cloth on their created cloths that has some sort of signature unique to them. I know they love what they do and wouldnt be doing it if they didnt..........but i think it would go MILES for both them, Their customers, and the Weaving Center as a whole if customers were to get to know the creators of their fabric that they cherish. That they arent a faceless collective of people in Ghana that make this amazing cloth. Customers will get to know the artist.......ESPECIALLY the ones that can do the triple weave......and they could have fans everywhere that prefer their style of weaving over maybe another. 3.) New idea. make smaller strips......sew them onto jeans as decoration for the new generation. It would be fashion, yes, but what i would do is also alongside of just having a patch of Kente cloth sewed onto stylish jeans, each created pair of pants will always come with a piece of paper telling the buyer more about this cloth, what it means, the heritage behind it, and what it means when you wear it. it woulnt be just another fashionable piece of clothing but would cross that boundary of being fashionable for young people.........but also introduce them to a culture that they never knew. This was a very good video thank you~!

AS USUAL, THE BEST NATURAL, INFORMATIVE GHANA VLOG ON KZbin! ANYONE CAN DO "TOURISTY STUFF" YOU SHOW REAL LIFE THERE. EXCELLENT!

[@rkyei-gyau525]

I love my kente cloth. You can see me in my 'adwene asa' for a wedding in Inverness in Scotland last year. I was a proud Ghanaian and centre of attention on the day. Thank you Jasmine for your powerful content and congratulations on getting 50k subscribers.

[@kanti8942]

Why can't the Ghana government ban the importation of Chinese counterfeit kente fabric. They must seek WTO help in banning the Chinese from producing counterfeits of what is a national heritage. Just as America will take on the Chinese for making cloned and counterfeit IPhones and other American products, the Ghana government must do same to protect Ghana's heritage

[@tvs9978]

@Kwaku Akonto. Start a petition and send it to the government. We have to start the change we seek ourselves rather than complaining and doing nothing about it

[@Sincerelyshawny]

I just KNEW you were in Kumasi from your ig 😫❤ happy 50k and pushing 🌟

[@JasmineAmaa]

Thanks lovely x

Ghanaians are so polite. It is a tribute to God.

[@bigupyuself]

It's amazing how they weave the fabrics like that by hand. Brilliant! I love the vibrant colors and patterns and I love that mustard one that you bought. Can't wait to see what you make of it.

[@deegrant9584]

Definitely hard work. The process is worth the money.

[@MikePitt]

Congrats on 50K, Jasmine. 😎Well done!👏🏾👏🏾 I love your Everyday life in Ghana videos and cookery videos. 👍🏽

That navy blue, aqua and white clothe 💖💖 I'm in love. There are so may beautiful patterns but that one jumped out at me. Big up to the guide who was educating us on the history of Kente.

[@jenniferkelly7356]

That was really interesting. Love the colours😍

[@mashufaamaat9631]

Greetings Sis firstly CONGRATULATIONS on 50K🎉that Wode Magic💪 Secondly I love Kumasi, Kente and the whole process! Lastly Jamaican Flag was adopted in 1962 it originated from the Ashanti/Asante National Flag Enslaved Africans captured from West Africa were mostly Yoruba, Asante, Wolof, Igbo they are alot of places and ethnic groups Enslaved Africans in Jamaica came from. The Jamaica flag have meaning🇯🇲 Green- Agricultural, Resources and Hope. Yellow- Wealth, Beauty and Sunlight. Black- Race, Creativity and Strength. 🇯🇲 Queen Nanny (Queen Nana) hail from Ghana She was born in Gold Coast present day Ghana around 1680 she was captured as slave to Jamaica she worked on Saint Thomas Sugar plantation she was Maroon and from the Ashanti Tribe she rebeled against the British and was the leader of the Maroons she escaped from slavery in the 18th Century and fought against the British. Check out: The Accompong Maroon Village in Jamaica- kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnzFhJSJhLWMqbc I Love My 🌍Roots👏🏾

[@hahaha70263]

I'm Jamaican as well. You're mostly right about African origins. Our African origins are mostly: Ghanaian - Mostly Akan (Ashanti, Fante, Brong etc), Ewe, Ga-Adangbe and even some northern Ghanaians Southern Nigerian - Igbo (a lot of Igbo slaves went to Jamaica), Yoruba, Ijaw, Efik, Ibibio etc Western Congolese - Bakongo, Sangha, Beteke etc.

[@malikwallace1899]

Indeed..Thats a Great build Queen!✊🏿

[@asantewaa391]

You are right, the Colours for the Asantehene's ( King) flag are; green gold and black, with the porcupine, ( kotoko)

My Natural Queen 👑 Go higher 👆🏾 love the video 🙏🏾thanks for sharing with us 💐 Keep on manifesten Greatness👸🏾💐

[@jabulanitheron9268]

For the amount of work that goes into this this process, It's not expensive enough. Just my opinion

[@JasmineAmaa]

I agree x

[@ceciliaserwaa1302]

Also is quite cheap wen u buy it frm de main source dan de market (there is expensive)

[@JoGardner876]

I think so too And if they sell it very expensive, the amount they sell it for is veryyyy much worth it😌

[@jabulanitheron9268]

@Rashaenka you make a valid point. So how about this, it should more expensive when they export it. I just don't like the idea of foreigners making more money from their hard work.

[@kerryfran9438]

I was thinking the same thing

[@cheendo7400]

Please to avoid buying Chinese Kente come to Ghana to buy your original Kente.

[@soniar9792]

How can you tell the difference btw the two?

[@kofihe]

@@soniar9792 Chinese one is printed not woven

[@soniar9792]

@@kofihe Thank you.

[@Mr-No-Life-2u]

Where can we buy it? Online?

[@cheendo7400]

Thanos I will NOT recommend you buying it online you can be scammed, if you know a Ghanaian traveling to Ghana you can asked them to buy it for you. I know a lot of Ghanaians actually go to buy it there.

[@missyanne40]

I really enjoyed this video!! I can’t wait to come there next summer!! Please keep making videos like this!

The weavers are so talented! Loved seeing the Kente Weaving process! Samuel is very knowledgeable! He should get a job such as a tour guide in Kumasi especially concerning Kente! Another great video!

[@daintyannpaige6028]

Stunning I never seen this before hands made cloth , wow , he use his two feet, to control the threads, he said it's a simple thing , , it's stunning to me ,

[@hahaha70263]

I've got so many things to say: 1. Well done for reaching 50k subscribers 2. I lol'd at your opening statement Jasmine: "All while exploring Kumasi and eating, of course!" 3. Thank you for showing how Kente is made. I love kente. The history, the colours, the patterns... I want some authentic kente cloth. 4. That 13 year old kid has some mad weaving skills. 5. I wished you explored more of Kumasi. It has a wonderful history being that it was the capital of the Ashanti/Asante Kingdom/Empire. 6. The food looked good. What was it? 7. Bright colours look great on chocolate skinned women. All in all. Great video and thanks again.
