This is called mento music long before all the other music,I was born in the 1950s, and Uncle was a musician playing mento, and calypso.The types of dance I useto do in school was quadrill, and mento.I want to know if they still do float parade throughout​Kingston from three miles to the national stadium, where the grand gala useto end for the day.Then all the parish would be having their own Independence,all over Jamaica.But in my younger days as a young boy in Jamaica,we were always looking forward to Independence, and the sweet festival songs.

This is native jamaicans culture. This are culture attire. We dont wear Africans cloth. We have are own cloth. Which is only in the Americas. Foreginers should not be representing are culture because we preserving are culture. Mek foreginers indulge in their own culture. Chiense have dem culture. East asians have dem culture. Africans have dem culture. We the natives of the west indies have are own. We dont give are secrets away no more. Traditions etc. Mek dem leave are culture alone. We dont want foreginers stealing are culture no more. They all can get lost. Out of many amerindians. Orginal to the western hemisphere. Carnival belongs to us. The American Indians throughout the Americas.

[@sefp]

Your right but were not native Americans mostly. Or AmeriIndians. We’re Jamaicans. Anglicised Afro Caribbean’s. Closely Related to Afro population In Suriname. Also. We are not everyone. In fact. They are our enemies. We are against them on the war that is life. That we Must conquour. Destroy win. Take their power away. And wealth knowledge technology etc. We should Not give our identity and power/ knowledge technology.

[@LokonoEmpire]

@@sefp I dont know what your talking about. The truth is out their now. Africans coming out stating that we the blacks in Americas are not their peoples, or come from their tribes. Slavery was a lie. Even are own people saying the same thing. Theirs history of American Indians sent to africa and Europe. And coming back to the Americas. History of white ppl, coolies, indigenous Europeans, asians all coming to the Americas as indentured servants aka slaves, slavics all on the internet. Research everything Is out their, they are not hiding anything anymore. Who the orginal inhabitants of the Americas are you know the first peoples.😉

[@LokonoEmpire]

@@chileanywaysso5098 nobody ask for your opinion. Nobody cares what you have to say. The ppl chatting foolishness are misinformed these clowns dont even know their own culture. These ppl chatting foolishness are clearly dunce and dont know their true history. I'm an arawak indian I know what is native culture to xaymaca. Plaid dont come from coolie ppl. You can see paintings from the 1700s of the natives of west indian aka free people of colour wearing their tribal cloth before any arrival of foreginers that migrated to the antilles.

This looks like its" first figure".I would advise that you reedit the original footage and put all the parts together so that it can be used for teaching the dance to our youngsters.

[@5456thasmynumber]

Northern Africa has Arabic and muslim influences. I have heard you can tell where people in the Caribbean originated by listening to their drumming styles

[@KennieshaLarmond]

WOw, that's really interesting. i never thought about it like that. I'm from Jamaica and I am just used to the different drumming styles but now that you mention it, the first drumming really sound like those they would play for belly dancing

[@nmvwilliams]

I literally thought that same thing when it first started. Being Persian, I'm very familiar with that style of drumming. It was a lovely performance.

[@yasminemaqsood9806]

samantha price the darabuka drum didnt start in arabia alone it was alll threw sudan, Egypt, Chad ect n im not talking when the arabs came from arabia n the other arabian countrys, the ancient Babylonians used it as well, theres nothing that belongs to just 1 ppl because just like we see india n the Jewlry wich was persian, and Babylonian also n in babylonia there were soo many nations in one history always repeats itself, im sudanese n iv seen other nations with lots of similar things we have n wear,so its not the 1st time for anything
