Nimujo Dancing Group performing a Makonde traditional dance, Ngokwa

[@MsObsidianReloaded]

As an African-American I really enjoyed watching this. It does not matter where people of African descent are in the world, there is a genetic memory amongst all of that explains why we are such great dancers. These dance moves are ones did when I was a kid, that I see other kids do in the neighborhoods, on the playgrounds, in the clubs, etc.

There is generic feeling when you hear the beat and that transcends into dance and movement :)

[@Monaedeezy]

This is spot on.

@MsObsidianReloaded, genetic memory? That sounds very ideal and simplistic. If it were genetic memory, Caucasians, Asians, Native Americans and everyone on earth would dance in a similar fashion because Africa is the home of humanity. Everyone originated in Africa. Also, where is your evidence that these dances originated centuries ago? Do you realize that culture evolves overtime? As an African I find it so insulting when you black Americans and Caribbeans ignorantly try to take credit for our culture and claim our identity even though you are so ignorant about us and our cultures. Believe it or not, like everyone else, our cultures evolve overtime. Many of these traditional African dances on social media and YT are newer dances created in recent times or within the 21st century. Many of our great grandparents did not dance like this. Our cultures evolve and change too! Also, the fact that you CHOOSE to see the similarities in your style of dancing and that of Africans does not mean the similarities actually exist. As an African, I see no similarity whatsoever in the dances in this video and black American dances I see on social media

@Mdeezy, nope it's assumptive and illusionary

[@MsObsidianReloaded]

@Y T, I feel a lot of anger in your response which is unnecessary. When did I take credit? Why are you saying I am "ignorant"? You don't know what I know and have experienced. Interesting you chose that word since a lot of Africans like you have vitriol towards Black Americans. Yes, I know cultural nuances like dancing change over time, however, there are foundational rhythmic body movements evident across the Diaspora. So, I will end it here and not go back and forth with someone who has disdain for me. In the meantime, I think you should sit back, treat yourself to some fufu, yams, and jollof rice and be appreciative that someone has taken a genuine interest in learning about the diverse cultures on the continent. *** I am NOT being "ignorant", BUT very sarcastic with food references since Africa has a diversified cuisine.
