The Batwa Dance

The Batwa is an African pygmy tribe in south west Uganda in the Kigezi district. The tribe is in danger of becoming extinct due to displacement from their forest habitat.

    Yes! this is who we are, proudly so. I am 100% African. I wish I could jump in to boost the gentleman in blue to push a splendid dance. I love it. I will never leave the shores of Africa I belong here, I sign off. with love from Zambia.

May God continue to bless these beautiful people from on the other side of this wonderful world which we live in. I love this so much. It gives me a lift everytime I tune in to it which is almost daily. Thanks so much for a song and dance as this.

    I am a mukiga from Kabale; we don't look down on Batwa! They are a shy group of people that chose to keep and stay in their forest foraging culture until recently when deforestation has forced them out, as they could not access their regular game and fruits; however Batwa also preferred to work for food as they didn't appreciate any other foreign possessions, hence the impression of being looked down upon by those foreign to kabale; Bakiga are a free tribe that has no King they are organized through clans and the nuclear family, therefore do not have a culture of making anyone their subject; Batwa language falls between Rukiga and Kinyarwanda however they can speak fluently both languages as they need the skill to work in these communities; i don't know how they are treated the Rwandan side. Batutsi in kabale kanungu and mpororo are decedants of bafumbira migrating from kisoro and some Rwandese who got refuge during the 50's and 60's .

    Very cheerful music. Little baby is impressive. It now time for African countries to look to the future and see what opportunities they can make for the likes of this little child and millions like him. Dancing and clapping doesn't put food in their mouths. Africa is one of the most resourceful continents and should have no need for foreign aid, either in food or money.
