The Story Of Hambone

[@jasonpennerman3414]

I'm in tears my mom you to sign me that song all the time as a kid and it came back to me so I said let me check KZbin to see if its on here because I couldn't remember all the words so after a few different versions I came across your channel you have truly blessed me today the history and origin of the song means so much to me. Our ancestors found a way to pass culture education and morals down without paper and ink im so thankful to you may God continue to move through you to educate the masses my beautiful sister

I absolutely LOVE this ! This presentation is so great I had to watch it several times. I never knew the origins of this song since so much of African American history isn’t taught and is either stolen or purposely suppressed. I’m currently studying to be a history teacher to change the broken education system in this department and I will definitely be sharing this presentation and information with my students. Love it!!

My name Gil is from Brazil and I couldn't help but say: Thank you very much for this beautiful story, you are a great storyteller

What's so remarkable is how this identical rythme traveled throughout the diaspora, Afro Cuban musicians call it the clava

I love story tellers. It's sad that we have all but lost this art form. Thank you!

Incredible history. Thank you for passing it on and sharing.

A lunch lady in High School would come around to the tables and do the hambone. My friends and I always loved it would try to mimic it. Super cool to now know it's origins.

Trying to learn about this practice, really appreciated this video Isn't this practiced in parts of north and west Africa today? Does anyone know--does the practice start in America, or does it start in Africa and become more important as it moves to America where drums are banned? If you've got any sources you can drop in the comments, I appreciate it!

Some of us came from Europe, but most were already here. We didn't come from Africa. Most of us were never indentured servants and certainly not slaves. It was never legal to kidnap us from Africa, but by 1820, it was punishable by death in the US. In America, slavery is legal today when convicted of a crime. That's why racial profiling is so insidious.
