am from Zimbabwe but that young man in blue just made me proud
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.

Little boy!!! Hahaha, the title says "batwa" which means pygmy, they are the shortest people in Uganda. So don't be surprised if he is beyond 30, has a wife and children.

I am proud to be an African. I just love the way that little boy is doing
this is what i call the African spirit, no need to take Ballet or any dance classes.. mother nature just gives you the power!.. Viva Afrika!
Very proud of my African roots.... the voices, the rhythm, the handclaps, footsteps, men/women/children bond.... just wonderful!
This is my very favorite video of them all. These people are so joyful though it all. The Lil kid is amazing. He is not missing a beat and his timing is unbelievable. 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 was feeling really down and God led me to this beautiful video. Yahwe bless all the people in this village and the person who put the video on. Thanks for sharing.

Yes , the Batwa people danced with sincerity and praise. There was a lot of power in their chanting. Very moving indeed! God Bless them ❤
That's my language am proud of my country Rwanda
Right here in South Africa we do relate to the dance. The Xhosa tribe and pedi tribe have similar cultural dance as this one. The truth is Africa we are one.
African believe in God no matter the poor we believe one day we will overcome all challenges n live as one Africa one God 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏. I remember when I was young I use to dress those oversize cloth like that kid I thought its normal but its was not coming from poor ground but i learn a lot. my love from Kenya🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
I never seen such a rhythmic child.

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 .

Wonderful boy may God bless him
It's such a joy to watch! So serene and relaxing for the mind and body!
For some reasons, this just made me emotional... I really do not know why
I am happy to see the lovely boy dancing with the adults.
I can't stop watching the video. I love the song....little man's a boss.
Am in love with that ka small bby boy❤️❤️❤️🤣🤣🤣
The energy levels of blue shirted boy are beyond reasonable doubt
Just look at simplicity, innocence, harmony with nature, completely oblivious of our nuclear weapons menace, of our rat race, of the unbridled lust for wealth, of the stock exchanges, of covid-19. I wish we the so-called 'civilised and exposed' would leave their forests for them. And they sing Hallelujah! It's just bliss here. God bless you great folks. Regards from Nigeria.
Cool seeing all these people having a great time, with no phones in sight!
This people are poor but very happy no stress🙌🙌🙌.
My best performer is the young lad who hardly gets tired. Wow
Wow this is Amazing
I am proud of you because you not ashamed of your culture ,God bless you ❤️
Little man... Keep dancing!! I'd love to see him now dancing the same dance.
No stage or dance floor. No expensive musical equipment. No alcohol or drugs. Nothing but clapping, tapping a stick on a plastic jug, and thousands of years of tribal spirit. NOTHING in the West can match this. NOTHING!!!

if we didn't have Africa, or if we lost it, the world will be a terrible place to live. great part of joy and spirituality will be also lost. Gods, any or all of them , bless these two lil'babies and keep them safe to be, some day, adults without loosing the pride of be what they are. I can't understand the Earth without this feeling...
we just gonna ignore how good they sound together?? that's genetic talent
The little boy is very talent God bless you
Little Blue Man is the Spirit of Africa!!
Such a cute ugandan boy, uganda 2 the world, cheers from Nigeria 🇳🇬

So active...proud African
much love to you all. from me.love the dance. keep it tradional. well done to the women and men. love it!
My favorite video of ALL times.
Oh my God the little boy with blue shirt is genius..
i love music!
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.
This little blueberry is getting it!
