Uganda - Luganda Traditional Dance

[@aloyslub]

For those who might not understand the Luganda language, here is a section-by-section breakdown of this beautiful song and performance: i) from 00:00 to 00:10 Prelude: "Thank you very much" ii) 00:10 to 01:38 "We are so happy to see you, our visitors" iii) 01:38 to 02:49 "I sing for the Almighty King, who is alive and ruling the Kingdom". Here, it is the Buganda kingdom, found in central Uganda. iv) 02:49 to 03:20 "When God finally gives what you have prayed for, you dance within your heart" v) 03:20 to 04:05 "I''m like a soldier, moving around with my shield" vi) 04:05 to 05:16 "I was almost leaving the stage, but I saw people dancing with ankle bells" vii) 05:16 to 06:21 "I'm calling by sibling, but he's pretending not to hear men. Where has he gone?" viii) 06:21 Postlude: "Let's rush to leave this place, and go to Nabulagala (a former palace, now burial place of Kings)" Enjoy : )

[@KD-em3ec]

the ORIGINATORS of belly dancing EVERYTHING AFRICAN!!! PRAISE GOD CHILDREN, PRAAAIIIISSSEEE GOD!!!

[@ΝίκηΧανδρή]

They are not using their belly muscles, hence this is NOT belly dancing. A belly dancer must know how to roll & vibrate the belly muscles along with the appropriate hip movements keeping rhythem with the music to be considered a proper well trained dancer. Twerking (constant bouncing of the derrier) is an" accessorie", it is not vital to the dance and many oriental dancers refrain as it is a modern "addition"..

[@tomazyakobo8556]

The song is actually a PRAISE TO THE MOST HIGH... I am Bantu from Kenya and i can understand similarity of the key words. "Bana ba mulungu baba" As we say Abana ba mungu baba"" Amen, thank you so much for such a prayer song to the most high our creator

[@tammy120803]

I am just starting to research and learn more about my family roots. This is very valuable information for someone like myself who is from Georgia. Thank you.

[@ghaliweyaki1229]

They are actually saying Omulongo baba, she's singing about someone she has a crush on. The word 'Omulongo' can be translated as twin, twins in the Kiganda tradition are considered a good omen, and the term is therefore commonly used as a term of endearment for an especially special someone. However you are right; there're loads of similarities in between the different bantu languages and I think it would be a good idea to have a kind of comparative linguistic studies class of these. The reason for saying this is because, about 3yrs ago I discovered that the language I grew up speaking was like a blatant code of existential inference, where every word is framed like a parable with a distinct narrative that conveys the essence of what is spoken or being meant. For example, the word body (which might sound familiar in Swahili, although I'm not sure) in Luganda is; Omubiri. This is a combination of two words, Omu which translates to; 1 person. And Biri, which translates to just the number 2. So, loosely and directly translated the word body means 1 person is 2 or 2 in 1. Bearing in mind that Body for a living person (Omubiri) is different from a Dead Body (Omulambo); which, apart from the Omu for 1 person, I can't really comment on the rest (lambo) as I'm not sure of it's denotation, which with both combined would give a deeper connotation. I'm more than certain it has one. There are so many words I've come across that bare the pattern of a code; either in combination with another word or in pronunciation to convey an existential inference. Another example, the word for a student; Omuyizi is exactly the same word for a hunter; Omuyizi but when used for a student the pronunciation is softer than for hunter. What I found most interesting is when I considered the traits of a hunter, like: alert, watchful, keen, patient and bold. The point of my whole rant is that I have spoken the language all my life but never paid attention to its structure (as am sure most people from all cultures do), but it blew me away to realise the amount of attention given to essential meaning and existential inference with minimal conceptualisation. I mean, the word for Soul; Omwoyo, loosely translated is; 'The person that is in 'there', bearing in mind that one only says 'oyo' when referring to another person though pointing in physical identification. There are parables in all these words and it would be nice to unlock them all, or at least most of them. I'm sure we could learn a lot. It's also interesting that these observations were made from an English vantage point, English as a language being analytical, conceptual and descriptive in nature. I suppose colonialism wasn't all bad after all. Anyway, hope you weren't overwhelmed by my little speech. God bless
