ReplyDeleteIt's jamacin. The langugue,acents and tambarine.
ReplyDeleteIt's makes me think about worm weathear and playing out in the sun like soccer,football
and swimming.It makes feel crazy,energetic and
happy. It makes me think of the sea and all
the butifull creaturs in the se and all the cool fish.
I think that this song culture is African or Samoan because those cultures use drums a lot in their music. The instruments that give me a hint were the drums and the rain sticks. This makes me think of the different cultures in the world and all of the different languages because each culture and language has history behind it and a lot of people may already know about this history and will pass on the stories with every generation.
ReplyDeleteI this song is from India. Also I think there is a drum and it sounds like an indain type of music and i think that because it is like an indian beat and it sounds like and indian language. Also i think that is all that i think that is why i think that is indian music.
ReplyDeleteI think this song is from a native kind of culture like Africa. The instruments that gave me a clue was the drums and tambourines,also the people that are dancing to match the music that they are playing, and alos how they are singing the song it sounds like a African kind of song so that's the reason why I think that it's a African type of song.
ReplyDeleteThis makes me thing of wild Africa,and all of the animals that are running around, also I see the people that are singing it dancing it a they have their own choreography to it.
