    I’ve been searching for my dance history; this piece clarifies so much and had made me so proud.

    Wonderful!
    Mother Africa, the base of all our music!
    It’s powerful, truthful to the soul of the body, the heart best of our music!
    I know that in the Latino music, definitely the base, the best, the heart, and it will always be present in our music in general.
    When I took dance classes in college, African classes where my favorites!
    Powerful! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
    Thank you African brothers!
    Peace!

    Missing other WEST African countries, such as Badagary Nigeria which a ship loads were taken to Brazil. Also enslaved Africans were taken to Mexico, Central and other South America. My maternsl forefathers are Afro-Cuban. Visiting Lagos and Badagary Nigeria and saw culture, dance, music, food and instruments that the Yoruba used including the 5 pattern rhythm is used in Cuban culture.

    After making it 25 minutes in, I very much appreciate the attempt but there are a bit too many inaccuracies while speaking in absolutes.
