@@goldbluetears tbh I live in an area with a lot of white supremacists (northern Idaho, southern BC) and they are always playing the comparison game. But obviously using it to show how technologically, academically, etc superior Europeans are. And I’m always the one arguing that it’s dumb to compare people like that because of all the other factors that created the differences. So it’s a neat fact you shared about the superiority of their rhythms in this case, I just think it triggers a tribal mindset that can lead to terrible ways of comparing/analyzing different races

Wonderful! In each different cultural manifestation from Mother Africa an insight comes to my mind. For instance, I can surely point the shakers in this video. We brazilians have a similar but small shaker that we call "caxixi". Caxixi has the same stetic appearance and we also make it from a kind of sisal and seeds. We use caxixi, ngoma and berimbau to conduct Capoeira, which is a dance/fight inherited by us from Bantu people. Thank you for sharing. Much love from Brazil P.S. by the way, how do you call these shakers in Igbo language?

Where are the young men at

@ADEP

3 жыл бұрын

Ikorodo is known as the "Maidens' Dance" so it typically danced by young unmarried women. However, today young men are also learning it in churches and schools. Here is an example: kzread.info/dash/bejne/eIuAlcyApZC4d7A.html

@uzzyvick

Жыл бұрын

The young men usually have their own dances or they do the masquerades. The Igbo society in the past was highly stratified along the lines of gender and age and for this reason, they had an age grade political and cultural system. These units act independently, and have their own regulations, specific manifestations and unique roles they play in the Igbo society. For this reason, it is not uncommon when each of these units present themselves to the society, they more often than not, are more likely to be observed as some homogeneous units of these aforementioned strata, with the some defining performances among the concerned groups be it, in their traditional dances or other necessary cultural practices.. Therefore, women groups are likely to project their own performances via their own strata and one way of doing this maybe in practising and creation of a unique dance which represents the perculiar culture of a community such performances are most often initiated from the young daughters at their prenuptial ages. The same can also, be said of the male units. The presence of the older men here maybe for commercial reasons. They were probably contracted for their versatility in playing the musical instruments or whole dance may have been created as a distinct commercial enterprise to provide entertainments and diversions during important traditional ceremonies.

The name Igbo means Hebrew but too many of my brethren prefer to be Nubian,African, or African American.

This is not the original Ikorodu but they tried. The original is from Oba, Nsukka.
