Done!

[@kellyhoward6941]

Done also! I somehow didn't find you until just now, tho I've been watching Trybals for many months. The two in this vid already make me think I'm going to love them! Auntie is a gem! How I'd love to sit down with her (& an interpreter, I suppose) & just talk to her, get to know her life, her likes, joys, difficulties, stresses...their lives are so very different from mine, but people are people despite cultural differences, & keeping an open mind can bring such fascination & joy. Does anyone have a channel somewhere where Americans react to music/dance/etc of other cultures?? If so, I'd LOVE to be on it, just for the wide human experience (since I'm too broke to travel anywhere to get to know them myself).

[@djokealtena2538]

Aaah Auntie that's the same joy how I felt when we (my Mother and I especially) watched the telivised stageshow back in the day. Blessings onto you both.

This lady is so beautiful when she was smiling so much. Her joy was so strong that just watching her was a joy.😊

[@hazmania4794]

She look like, if you were having the worst day of your life, and went to her her house, she would welcome you with a comforting smile, give you a warm hug, a cup of tea, and something to eat, all the while, soothing and comforting you, which, even in a foreign language, your heart would understand. Then, even the most messed up world would somehow be okay.

[@darthghengis]

She was loving it

Her response was a “What costs nothing but is priceless?” moment.

She connected with Riverdance because she is in touch with her own native culture. She understands the importer of native culture.

I remember watching Eurovision in 1994 with my mum and we where just mesmerized watching it. It's still the most memorable Eurovision moment I've ever seen, even 30 years on nothing has came close to this performance.

[@jeanpeuxplus7257]

I remember exactly the same thing, watching this here in France with my parents and being hypnotized by the music and the dancers. Had to wait weeks (months?) to find the record in the stores. And it's still my favorite moment in the whole Eurovision history! Just stunning.

[@colinmoore7460]

Yeah, the year the "half time performance" stole the entire show!

[@tconnolly9820]

To be fair, the winning song which was also by coincidence the Irish entry wasn't bad at all. In fact it's a very beautiful, timeless and nostalgic song. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oorYZYSoZtd2d8k Enjoy it one more time.

[@purplephoenix4969]

I will never forget watching it with my family too. We were also mesmerized. I think most of Europe were sat watching it on TV, all mesmerized. It's still wonderful to watch now, but seeing it for the first time on Eurovision was definitely very special.

[@davidholmes2283]

I watched it on my own but the next day I saw my mother and we both exploded with praise for what we saw. I honestly mean it when I say I was absolutely blown away! Magical.

[@profe3330]

This lovely lady reminds me of my grandmother, who came from a tiny Polish village in the middle of nowhere. There's something about the kind, open genuineness of Old World people that transcends every border. I wish we were more like them.

She reminds me of mine too, the very same smile and similar face. Northern Europe❤

[@Laudon1228]

My Nana was born in eastern Ukraine in 1906. She was only four years old when she and her parents came to the US. Despite that, being raised by her Old Country, working class parents (Great Grandpa was a tool and die maker) she grew up speaking Russian (Eastern Ukraine tends to be more Russian speaking) and eating traditional “peasant” food. Lots of organ meats, soup with “everything but the kitchen sink” as the saying goes, cabbage with everything. My Mom grew up eating the same foods, and learned (mostly) how to cook them. I have to say my sister and I were not big fans of the pigs’ feet or calf’s brains. :: shudder :: I love stuffed cabbage though.

[@rebeccajeane8287]

@@Laudon1228 oh God yes, I love me some stuffed cabbage.

Boy, isn't that the truth!

[@Golightly354]

@@Laudon1228 Ooh, I LOVE pigs feet (or trotters we call them in the UK), although they are hard to find now. I also used to boil pigs heads to make my own brawn which is delicious, especially if you managed to get a good sized tongue too. And cowheel. Lovely. We used to suck the bones from the stew. All that with cabbage and dumplings. Soul food. Miss them loads! I think it was poor person's food really but became fashionable as all these things do!

As an Irish person Riverdance has always moved me to tears and I like that it dispelled the somewhat clichéd view of Ireland by showcasing the original talent within this Country. The beautiful, genuinely joyfilled reactions from Sobia and Naveed are really touching 😍 They're so cute! 🥰💖

[@michelleobrien6996]

Riverdance was so exciting. It really did take the world by storm. It still moves me.

[@amme30]

I remember watching it too, and being gobsmacked that this was a version of the steps and reels I learned in the local community hall. I was exhilarated that our country could produce such stirring and heart pounding dance and music. It still gets me now.

[@Padraigp]

It never moved me to tears at the time cos I was a cool teenager but ive been tearing up the whole time during this. Apart from when I was cackling at Gerry Ryan being so Gerry Ryan.

Blew my mind when I first saw it. Revisited it a few dozen times after, on tape. To see it get made into a full show that’s still going to this day amazes me. I’ve never seen the show though, because nothing could recapture that feeling of seeing this performance.

To think that Riverdance was booked as Interval (Intermission) entertainment and that no one actually expected *that* kind of reaction fairly blows my mind. So beautiful and so stirring.

[@amonbeck]

It is incredible because as an Irish person, this is a big part of our culture and it was largely suppressed or destroyed by colonizers. And so it’s wonderful to see that it survived long enough for another tribal group to experience it for the first time. That to me brings me joy.

[@Lilsmallrattgatlivesinyourhair]

As above stated the colonisers, especially throughout our occupation by Oliver Cromwell, who outlawed both music of any description (even anything that could make a rudimentary musical instrument was outlawed) and dance​@MsMaryPatricia he did it to break the spirits of the Irish. Its the origins of lilting and dancing brogues alike. When the man takes your instruments use your voice, when he stops the drums beat your own rhythm.

[@brianloughnane4033]

Yes it was. The reason it is all feet was because the British banned dancing but if they passed by houses in the 1800s the ledges would only show the upper torso and so while they were dancing, it looked to your regular Crown inspector as a normal gathering.

[@DaisyChain3339.]

Maybe your new 'colonizers' will help you, if you survive them.v

[@garry8390]

And yet sadly today we are allowing our culture to be destroyed again, lulled into decay by commercialism, cowardice and ignorance on the part of the common man.

[@brianbadonde8700]

what a load of auld shite

[@Justificus]

How heart warming to see two people enjoy a different culture with joy and praise for all who performed the dance. Gives you the hope that someday we can all be so open to the beauty in all the peoples of the world.

Wow this touched my heart more than I thought it would. We, Ireland, are so small and these lovely reactors didn't even know we existed. To see people from a culture that is so very rich and ancient and proud, reacting to my culture (that I am so very proud of) and our traditional dance, (which we used to tell stories and celebrate together and was such an integral part of our community that we were forbidden to practice for so long) with such joy and kindness and appreciation actually made me tear up ! We are very different cultures but we are all brought together by music and dance and expression and I really appreciated this video. Love and kindness from a small village in Ireland all the way across the world, to everyone involved in this lovely video

[@elizabeth10392]

The show was called "Riverdance". The dancing itself is Irish step dancing. It is, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful forms of dance there is. It is also very difficult. Every dancer in the show was a champion dancer if memory serves me correctly. Your reaction was wonderful 👍👍

[@erickent3557]

And I have seen traditional dancing from India, exceptionally beautiful, too. My appreciation for it was based in my love for traditional Irish forms, so I could see the art, and how it differed. The world is an incredible place...

[@CHRISTSPIRACY.comJESUSwasVegan]

a girl in my class joined riverdance and got £1000 a week, free clothes, makeup, rent back in the 90s and she said they had to insure their legs, they worked so hard people had a lot of injuries. she was a champion too you are right

However, my good friend and her boyfriend were able to go and said it was the best thing they had ever seen - she has been all over the world and seen all kinds of performances, but even now she says it is still the best show she ever saw.

Irish dance and especially Irish fiddle music , appeals to a wide variety of cultures. I brought my violin to India and played in the street, in an area of Himachal Pradesh inhabited by Tibetans and local Indian Hindus, as well as recent Tibetan Refugees and Tibetan monks and nuns. OI played out side the refugee centre and a huge crowd gathered out of nowhere to hear me play, trad. Irish fiddle. Everybody loved it, and wanted more. I had no idea that Tibetans in particular, felt the tunes and beat were "familiar" in a way, to them., from thier own culture, just much more complex.

This is so wonderful. I will never forget seeing this live when it was on Eurovision. My whole family were spellbound. It's so lovely to see people seeing it for the first time and still finding that joy in it.
