[@THETRAVELOGIST1]

Best comment 👌

[@mrnaija101]

I get shocked when some African creators visited Brazil, Cuba, Colombia etc just for the fun of it without dishing out the historical and educational aspects that will benefit Africans and African descendants. I'm not saying it's a must and maybe some of those people ain't just into that aspect of Africanism or know much of the history, but i feel as Africans we have a duty, cos there's a narrative out there by some forces against us, especially the supremacists trying everything to keep the disconnect between Africa and it's descendants in the new world. Wode Maya is a blessing to this generation and posterity will judge him for eternity.

[@Jessdel2012]

Why don't copy him and be as authentic. We complain too much; look for what is working for Wode and work on offering better if complimentary videos.

Indeed Wode does it better and bigger, Maya inspires me so much

[@uniquebodyblends]

I've learned so much in this video. Looking at the markets reminds me of Flatbush Ave in Brooklyn NY.. but instead of the food selling the island people would be selling clothes, bags etc. The set up used to be the same. We are all one!

Afro Brazilians are more Afrocentric than the Afro Americans. They have really preserved the way of life of their ancestors more. A walk through that market and I might think I’m in Agbogbloshie market of Ghana.

[@stevenbarrett4110]

Allow this Jamaican to speak on behalf of AA. Being a minority in an environment that judges you, and constantly invent ways to ridicule your speech and culture. Not to mention demand that in order to succeed and progress, you must conform to strange and weird majority standards. In those circumstances, I think it's going to be difficult to retain the ways of your ancestors. Google the term 'Jim Crow', and please try to read about 'red lining', about strange fruit hanging from Poplar trees in the south, then, you MIGHT begin to understand our AA family's struggle to stay alive, let alone retain practice of their ancestor's customs. Hope I'm making sense. Our AA family needs our support, NOT our ridicule.

[@lifeafter60withdaseta20]

@markagyei3219 You should not compare African desendants of the enslaved. Each area where they were taken to their experience was different. Many Africans in the west have maintained a lot of the culture that they brought with them .Many Sfricans on the continent don't even pray in their own languages.I suggest that you do some more research on the brutality of the transatlantic human trading and expand your knowledge.

Point of correction. Cocoa wasn't brought from Ghana to Brazil. It was the other way round . Tetteh Quarshie was the one that brought it to Ghana and had it planted at Mampong Akwapim

[@herculesskinny2030]

Tetteh Quashie brought cocoa from Fernando Po. An island across Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea, which is now called Bioko. And not Brazil. check the facts well. Thanks.

[@casbarbosa37]

03:24 -> Hello Brother, there is a little mistake in your vídeo .... Cocoa is original fruit from the brazilian amazon basin all the way up to Mexico.... it was the oposite way, the British Empire took the seeds from The Americas to plant it in the called British Gold Coast in Africa , same happened with Rubber Tree to Asia, and with Coffee from Ethiopia to the Americas ;)

[@hahaha70263]

The word 'Acaraje' is the Brazilian Portuguese version of the Yoruba word, Akara.

[@ismailolatunji178]

You're right.

[@andressac.6117]

3:29 That's not true. Cocoa and cassava are native to Brazil and were brought to Africa from Brazil by the Portuguese, actually.

[@oladapoolusoga9032]

[@SGOA32178]

Major correction Maya, Cocoa did NOT come from Ghana to Brazil. Cocoa is native to the Americas(in particular central and south america). It was exported from there to the rest of the world. Thank you.

[@TheLynx8888]

Correct. Many don't realise this. Cacao was used by the native Americans for all sorts. It was brought to West Africans during the trans Atlantic slave period. The opposite was palm oil, which is native to the Niger delta regiin of Nigeria and was taken over to the Americas. We live and learn.

[@AkinolaAdeyemi-pu6vq]

Absolutely 💯

[@michelleegg7741]

I think she is trying to refer it being imported from Ghana. Not that it’s original from Ghana. Cocoa is much cheaper to get from Africa. Sadly most coming from exploiting the farmers. As I seen Cocoa from the Americas being more pricer and it somewhat supporting indigenous farmers. Who are predominantly the growers.

[@Pixelarter]

Cassava is also original from South America, a traditional crop from Brazilian natives, that was also taken to Africa by the Portuguese in colonial times. In Brazil it has different names depending on the region, that were inherited from different Amerindian tribes: Mandioca, Aipim, and Macaxeira are the most common, but there are more names for the same plant. Actually there are several African habits that were inherited from Brazil, taken to Africa by the Portuguese.

[@paatee8831]

​@@mrnaija101Cocoa is not indigenous to Ghana. Tetteh Quarshie brought it from Seychelles when he was taken by the missionaries to work. Cacao is native to Latin American countries. They use it in cooking and in making beverages. However, we don't use cocoa or cacao in out cuisine because the crop is not native to us

[@BekTesfa]

Why can’t these Afro Brazilians have a direct and frequent connection with Africa? The should be regular people to people connection.. All west African countries should be involved.

[@FERESE]

They have delegates that visit every year. For example, Brazilian filmmakers are seeking partnership with Nigeria and African film industries. A representative of the film and audiovisual agency Sao Paulo, SPCINE, and Brazilian filmmaker, Sabrina Fidalgo made this known at the maiden edition of the BrasNaija Cultural and Film Festival held recently in Abuja, Nigeria. Brazilian Consulate hosts Lagos coffee festival. The host of the event; the General Consulate of Brazil said that they are hosting part of the coffee festival because Brazilians are crazy about Coffee and arts, and part of the toppings for the coffee festival are the artifacts from the Ooni of Ife’s palace ” The Yoruba Museum” which is a mobile museum and will later go to Brazil and other countries of the world. Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has identified Nigeria’s century old heritage relationship with Brazil, noting that time has come to give the initiative an economic boost through cultural tourism. Speaking at the unveiling of the Afro Brazilian Cultural Centre in Brazilian Quarters, Popo Aguda, Lagos Island, last Monday, the Minister noted that the centre would not only preserve the historical narratives of Afro-Brazilian descendants but also would encourage and foster deep relationship with the government and people of Brazil. The celebration of Brazil-Nigeria Cultural Week, which holds on September 6 and spans September 9. Some of the events scheduled to hold include; Brazil-Nigeria Trade Forum section, Brazilian National Day celebration, Brazilian movie festival, Nigeria National Troup, Jazz Festival, stage play, literary week, art exhibition, and gastronomy. Some foreign devotees from Brazil at the just concluded Osun-Osogbo festival in Nigeria have expressed belief in the sanctity of the Osun deity, saying the annual fiesta offers an opportunity for worship through the sacred grove. This has been going on for decades in South West Nigeria.

Cassava or maniok is indigenous to South America, and it was brought into Africa by the Portuguese. Cocoa is not from Ghana to Portugal but rather the way around. Cocoa or cacao is also indigenous to South America. Cocoa came from Fernadopo - a Portuguese colony which is now Equatorial Guinea .

@@lordofabraxas4414 You can generalize as the Tupi-Guarani people (the biggest group). But there were hundreds of different tribes, each one with slightly different languages and customs. Today there are more than 300 native ethnic groups in Brazil (before colonization there were even more), with more than 270 native languages, that can be categorized in two main branches with sub-families: Macro-Jê: Boróro, Guató, Jê, Karajá, Krenák, Maxakali, Ofayé, Rikbaktsa, and Yatê. Tupi: Arikém, Awetí, Jurúna, Mawé, Mondé, Mundurukú, Puroborá, Ramaráma, Tuparí, and Tupi-Guarani.

The market you need to go to is Coronation Market in downtown Kingston. But I also think you should spend a lot of time outside of Kingston. I might be biased but the countryside is rich in culture and history and that's something you don't always see about Jamaica. We're a big tourist destination but we're more than sand, sea and sun. There's really so many stories to tell but know that you will feel more connected to the rock. I have watched so many of your videos and I feel a closer connection between Africans at home and abroad. Thanks for making Africa closer. We're more alike than we are different. PS. Visit the Glistening Waters in Trelawny. It's one of 6 luminous bodies of water in the world. Enjoy Jamaica 🇯🇲💜

[@LindaDawkins-ux1vp]

As a Jamaican, I totally agree the country side is so much richer and beautiful. 🇯🇲

Fun fact: cocao actually came from South America.

[@kilabob1200]

Once again, you have brought us an excellent and enlightening video. May the ancestors continue to bless and protect you as you move throughout the African diaspora. Please give DJ Sankofa warm regards from his brothers and sisters from America.

Yoruba= Nigeria, Benin Republic, Togo not only Nigeria brother.

[@taq1238]

Yes! As a Jamaican, my DNA results show a percentage of all the places you mentioned. The highest percentage is Nigeria, though.

[@lifeafter60withdaseta20]

Every where in the west that Africans were taken there is a market

[@ogomsseries]

The market has lots of lovely arts and crafts❤❤❤. You have different personality with being a content creator,dancer,singer etc.

[@luismartins854]

To make this old lady dream comes true to visit Africa Nigeria as her chosen destination 🌍 would be awesome 👍😎 Wode please 🥺 make it come 🫴 true oh 😮

[@The_Cruise_Fam]

I’m willing to contribute to donation to make it happen.

[@The_Cruise_Fam]

The whole of west African regions should seriously start a borderless African. It’s very obvious that we were once one, we have a lot of similarities either French or English colonized. It’s obvious slavery separated us.

[@olaolaitan7834]

I am proud to be African and of Yoruba Heritage ♥️ ❤️ 💕 💓

[@The_Cruise_Fam]

I love us Yorubas for one thing I’ve noticed is that we shá leave our mark and carry our culture with us 💯 that’s why we speak our language anyhow any where. We ain’t got no shame in being us and I’m super proud of us❤️

[@nyakwarObat]

​@@The_Cruise_FamEeh my brother, they have a saying pride comes before a fall. Be careful

[@mavisburke495]

If that western saying.iwas true many such nations would.have.fallen.

[@musicearthtoheaven8793]

​@nyakwarObat don't use it out of context, for fear tactic, or to undermine someone. He can be proud of his culture. Are you not proud of your culture, too? Does that bother you?

[@nyakwarObat]

@@musicearthtoheaven8793 eeh this guy man, do you think I originated those words? Was it me who said pride is one of the deadly sins? Do you know that Hitler was also proud to be of a "special bloodline"? If you are afraid then that means you don't know if what you doing is on point. One who is sure of the way need not be afraid so the question is why are you fearful of that wording? 🙄

Kobina u done alot and God bless you 🙏 ❤️ ❤❤❤❤ wade maaya

[@WODEMAYA]

Amen 🙏🏾 Thanks For Watching

[@Kennedy19970]

Highly appreciate your work

[@oseniajayi51]

Maya, you never disappoint your audience or followers. This is another mind blowing educational and historical video that you can't learn in the classroom, but we were able to learn more through your Lens on the similarities of way of living, despite problems our brothers and sisters faced in the new world, they still stand tall by keeping African tradition alive.God bless you abundantly for what you do for Mama Africa. Great work and keep connecting our brothers and sisters in the Americas. This trip you embarked on should not have been necessary if African Head of States have agreed with Dr.Kwame Nkrumah in Ethiopia in 1963, for Africa to unite as one country. Because, if they have agreed in my opinion, Africa continent would have been developed with the abundant of natural resources the Almighty God endowed in the continent by adding value to the resources; through this, development will fostered, people in the Americas would have been able to discover where their ancestor came from and would try to reconnect to their roots or land. The Grace of Almighty God will keep you to live for a long time for you to enjoy the fruit of your hard labor with your family.Amen!!!

Wode Maya you forgot Haiti, it is full blown Africa in the Caribbean. You should visit the North East ( Ouanaminthe ) where the people are building a Canal, contesting by the Dominican Republic. I think this could be a great show Thank you for your great works.

[@WODEMAYA]

Wait for it

[@flavorsofthecontinent7195]

Is Haiti safe right now ?

[@fouadibrahim9508]

[@mcrministry]

If you go Through Cap- Haitian airport It is safe, It is good to travel with an Haitian who knows the area. People are still traveling to Haiti but with precaution.

[@Agboka]

Akara - the bean pie fried in oil - is the same as Akla in Togo/ and the Volta Region and Akara in Yoruba - Nigeria

[@clementasampana4402]

Is the Volta region not Ghana? So why not Ghana?

[@Yorubally]

​@@clementasampana4402It's appropriate to name the region since it's native to there and the rest of Ghana calls it by Hausa word kosei.

[@clementasampana4402]

@@Yorubally masa! The northerners of Ghana are the original owners of kose!..
