J'ai remarqué que ce sont les afro descendants qui adore notre culture.pendant que nous même africain meprisons notre culture. Je me rappel quand mon père me parlait de notre culture quand j'étais gamins. Je voyais cette culture comme néfaste. Aujourd'hui mon père n'ai plus et j'ai pris le temps de connaître cette grande culture.. C'est un grand héritage

Haitians are the descendants of the people of Benin. Do you know who the African Americans are descendants from? Can you please tell me?

It's a little off the west coast of Africa. It's a french colony. I heard Haitians are the desendants of the people of Benin.

lindo demais, Asé ô, Baba Egungun!!!

I am confident in saying that most African American ancestry came from West Africa and some of South Africa. there were people that came from- Senegal, Mali, Ghana, Benin, Nigeria, Niger, Cameroon, Rep of Congo, Angola, etc! there were many reasons why the Europeans chose to separate peoples from their own kin; 1 of these reasons is that by separating people of the same tribe & kingdom is so that there weren't any uprisings.

I know it is not the same thing, But this reminds me of the Yoruba Egungun Masquerades.

@haitianmajic NO IT IS NOT OFF THE COAST OF WEST AFRICA, IT IS BETWEEN SOUTHWEST NIGERIA & TOGO.

@OyaRevolutionary yes it is, look at a map

e muito parecido com o culto de baba egum no brasil a diferença e o do brasil usa retalhos e o dai palhas muito lindo gostei!

and sailed to the islands in the caribbean. the slaves were put on plantations and were also restricted from practicing their religion- Haiti practices Voodoo but they had to mask their practices. The slaves in the french colony of Haiti made their masters believe that they were practicing Catholicism- but in reality- the slaves equated certain voodoo spirits to certain catholic saints. this secrecy helped Voodoo in the new world to stay strong.

@MrJordanio0825 Off the coast of West Africa suggests that it is not integral to the land mass of West Africa. Republique du Benin is West Africa in between southwest Nigeria & Togo. I know where it is & I've been there.

You are very knowledgeable. This is how slavery started when the Kingdom of Dahomey traded my ancestors for material things. Well, my ancestors were sent to America. The carribean was not the only place they were sent. this could be the reason why great parts of Africa are so very poor.

Who is moving the object?? A spirit like in Ouija or a magic like in Gypsy trickery??

eu tenho o meu ancestral já acentado ,graças a meu amigo e pai oje´ Carlos Capeta ,muito conhecido no nosso meio ,uma pessoa com uma sabedoria inanarrável ,acima de qualquer suspeita bjsss a todos e muito a xé .

This was actually in Lokossa hailey, remember, Gen set this one up for us. ;)(but very good description non the less, ;) )

thank you

Est-ce que c'était un "concours de fétiches" ? C'est étonnant qu'on vous ait laissé filmer ça. Je crois qu'on vous aurait demandé de ne pas le faire, il y a quelques années.

¿Cómo demonios hacen que se muevan esas cosas? Es decir, no tienen a nadie adentro y después los terminan quemando..

you are very right, congratulations.

And so you could be a combination of different peoples. I don't think that todays African Americans are a pure descendant of one people, one tribe, one kingdom- but because the lucrative slave trade and need to produce the ultimate strong slave, slave masters would mate slaves without regards to their kinship, religion, etc! I hope this answers your question:) Im actually studying to become a historian, so feel free to ask any more questions and i will try to answer!!!

What are those called? The people with the leafy costume shaped like a pyramid-ish shape?

Idk what its called but people are NOT inside of them!!! It's a spirit

DjKelavey. I find ur approach to my answer very rash, to say that i am incorrect instead of saying that i have a point. please reread my comment...as it says that it is possible to retrace a person's ancestry- the point that i was trying to make was that supervirtuouswoman might find out that she has a number of dif tribal ancestors that make up her own dna. so there you go- i am aware of the technological advances that can determine ones ancestry, genetics, etc.

no 1 is under the costume it s a spirit....

ase baba ase o

Voodoo, Voodoun, Hoodoo, the gods are not called god or gods but The entities they pray to and ask for help and guidance are known as the Loa, One of the reasons the Voodoo practiced here in the states was so easily mixed with Catholicsm (sp) Was because the practitioners of Voodoo found similarities between the Loa and the Saints.

this is not ''voodoo'', is YORUBA my religion -_-. Voodoo=haiti, Yoruba= Africa,Cuba,Venezuela,Colombia,Brasil,Uruguay and the virgin islands.

I thought it was the same thing; West African Vodun, Haitian Voodoo, and Yoruba Ifa. I thought the only difference was Haitian voodoo was syncretized with Catholicism.

@87380 Désolé pour la réponse tardive. C'était une démonstration pour une groupe de jeunes béninois et canadiens. Effectivement surprenant qu'on est pu filmer celà.
