Yanomamo: Forest People ("Song of the Forest")

[@kevinderrington2836]

My 8 year old is in school learning about the rainforest and Yanomami tribe. I'm 40 and remembered singing this in school. Took me ages to hunt it down. Thanks for uploading!

[@jennyboustead6716]

I was in the choir at school and sang this in the 90's 14 I guess brings back memories :)

[@garethmetcalfe1345]

I remember learning this song at Primary School back in the late 80's/early 90's 😊

[@shelleypeskett6659]

Me too we sang them in a massive choir in a theatre #memories

[@grahamlees6152]

That's exactly why I am here too.

[@eleanor5420]

i sang it in primary school in the 2000s!! it’s still kicking 😊

[@henndri]

VERY NICE TRIBE, WITH UNIQUE TRADISINAL SONGS

[@thekosmickollector7748]

Good to know I'm not the only one who remembers doing this at school :P

[@japmis]

what fond memories!!!!

[@LMFAOLOLKK]

I done this for a musical wow i loved it now pasing into secondary school years go fast!!

[@helenp5343]

I was in the original production of this at St Augustines School e spent hours trying out all the new songs see if they worked

[@fannnoah702]

This is an interesting interpretation of the ethnographic research based around the Yanomamo; while the idea that these people are living perfecting in tune with nature and should act as a model for our own civilization it also is missing out entirely on the largely violent aspect of their culture based around arguably reproductive rights, or limited resources.

[@scabyzmant]

absolutely marvellous. Would love to see the whole production. Had neices involved at JFK in Hemel Hempstead. What fond memories.

[@xXxambzxXx]

that would be amazing! Thankyouu :D

[@universalmoor]

@ 2:25-2:59 the look that the lady gave whoever threw the bowl next to her was timeless. My very own mother has given me that look before. hilarious! i watched that look over and over again!

[@richardreeve5369]

Great song for Forest People.

[@RicardoGreen2008]

We are the Guardians of Future Generations. How beautiful that these children remind us that, while, Democracy might not yet be Real Even in America, It is Still a Work In Progress, and, THAT"s the Conviction in the Beauty of their voices and faces, much more than any Yanomami Celebration, Whom By The Wayt I Visited and Life Magazine offered money for photographs I took of them, Yes, at war, and still tender people, just like us, Still at War, Love, Dick.

[@scabyzmant]

yes, its a show for which a performance licence can be purchased for schools or groups to stage. Its a full musical with various good numbers like Jaguar and this one Forest People. Would be great for Junior High, and very topical still.

[@jspinac1]

good video

[@rileyalmagro4904]

sick!

[@Munra_Munra]

Los "yanomami" que Sting llama yamomamo, son una tribu índigena del estado Amazonas en Venezuela.

[@xXxambzxXx]

I love this musical.. did it in year 6 in Primary School (: Do you know where I could find the last song in the show? Can't find it anywhere! x

[@jchurch1]

Quite a few clips from the broadcast production have already been uploaded...if you have any of your own I'd love to see them

[@acerb4566]

its strange! i can find tons of Cheyenne and Lakota, and Mohawk songs, but no songs from any South American tribes! except for one sung by lots of tribes at a gathering.

[@scabyzmant]

I agree it's as you describe. Indeed the Yanomamo were violent in the extreme. My interest is the music which was writen as a chidren's musical for schools to introduce children to harmony in nature. It's of sentimental value to me I suppose.

[@acerb4566]

Honor song for Amazon warriors in Peru>>>>>>"Black Lodge Singers- Soldier Boy (Veteran Song)" they earned it!

[@jchurch1]

not sure... does anyone have a copy of this?

[@jchurch1]

Thanks... do you know the show?

[@bleedinghandshughes]

who wrote this? its totally blinkered view, maybe in 1990 when my school performed it, i dont know, the jaguar song later in the musical, what i think is funny, is that i bears no musical resemblance to that of the music that the people of these tribes play, it sounds more like something in a church

[@FlowerPower-dw8pd]

Well that's because English people wrote it. Kind of like how the Flower Duet is about an Indian girl but its in French. It'd still be nice if they made it in English and incorporated cultural instruments like Lion King.

[@85northsoutheastwest]

How should I cite this video??

[@jchurch1]

All uploaded for you!

[@metabog]

@slovakmath I agree with you on those terms. But when people say we should learn how to live more like them and be peaceful and other stuff like that, they don't realize that we have such an amazing advantage in ALL respects over them, because of our technology, medicine, laws, morality, etc. Their "peaceful" life is often about going to war with other tribes and being incredibly violent to one another over very stupid things that we have (for the most part) left behind a long time ago.

[@jchurch1]

@ClinamenCloud In what way?

[@GRAMMARFTW]

is that Bono?

[@jchurch1]

the Title song? I'll upload it if you like

[@kateporter7319]

Dont suppose you have the soldiers of the jungle please

[@mrliamm1]

i wanna find the living trees song and the burn the trees and the last one about will they listen to all the secrets we know hahah

[@ClinamenCloud]

whats up with the music?

[@Turkish_Model_]

Thumbs up if u watched the hole video

[@jchurch1]

@ohitislove21 How do you mean?

[@johndrummusic]

oh dear

[@EcoRover]

The Yanomamo and other indigenous peoples are a good MODEL for our own postmodern future. It's not a matter of "becoming just like them" or enshrining them as "nobel savage"--it's a matter of finding guideposts for our own survival.

[@anyamyrrhill]

Yanomamo, Milano

[@brasucasoul]

It´s Yanomami not Yanomamo. I know some of then.

[@soneill8033]

im doing this play. I know someone who knows anne conlon.

[@scabyzmant]

@ohitislove21 Nonsense man, no one said this tribe was noble. In fact the Yanomamo were violent . What was noble I suppose was to see a people so far removed from our civilisation and yet thriving.

[@dleddy14]

@dleddy14 "their world"

[@mattfran9290]

i don't think the music is very appropriate....Chagnon called them a violent and aggressive tribe. seems like the Pocohantas song "savages" would be more appropriate.

[@slovakmath]

@metabog also, yours and my ancestors prior to the agricultural revolution (~9000-4000BC in Europe) were hunters and gatherers...arent you curious to see how our own ancestors lived and all the shit they had to put up with?

[@metabog]

@slovakmath Alright, then tell me your examples and I will consider/refute them, possibly without calling you unintelligent.

[@IVRYTOWRCHAMBR]

Great video if you turn the fucking sound off!

[@dleddy14]

@RicardoGreen2008 The Yonomami take hallucinogenic drugs every day. That is why I respect them.

[@Heyes00]

LMFAO!!!!!!!! at 3:30

[@francescafulton]

im doin it at the customs house

[@Em-kg7qn]

more like a song of "my little ponie goes to the amazon"

[@slovakmath]

@metabog they have the lowest blood pressure out of any group in teh world, due to their diet (but that is the topic of study to figure out why their blood pressure is so low). that alone is reason enough to pretect them to study. there are others but you can use your own imagination, or to assist imaginations...google them to see current ways in which Yanomami are studied, many uni's study this barbaric tribe.

[@Uvisir]

"we are forest peopleeee" LOL what the heck???

[@lovelyspuds]

I went to Oggy's too. This song is shit. Brilliat stuff.

[@scabyzmant]

There are no forest people.

[@hoochipappie75]

They need some bug spray.. . What is that crap in their lips or mouth..some kind of dip??

[@hoochipappie75]

huh....im brain dead...you cant even speak rite dumbass douche bag

[@HackValkyr]

haha

[@sikqpop2012]

fk yo no

[@ohitislove21]

This video just upsets me so much. It screams the whole idea of the noble savage. I thought we had moved out of this whole anti-Hobbes debacle.

[@ClinamenCloud]

its terribly cheesy

[@johndrummusic]

oh dear
