Two 2017 YouTube Videos Of Nuba Music & Dance (with selected comments)



Kamayani Bali Mahabal, January 2, 2017
18TH AND 19TH OF DECEMBER 2016, IN AL-KHARSANA SQUARE IN OMBADA LOCALITY, KHARTOUM STATE.

The annual festival organized by the Higher Committee of the Nuba Mountains Cultural Heritage Festival was held under the theme “my culture: created to strengthen the present and guarantee the future”. The festival represents a rare chance to showcase the culture of the Nuba people who have been victimized by ongoing attacks since the early 1990s by the central government leading to massive human losses and displacement from their home area in the Nuba Mountains. The latest conflict that erupted in 2011 directly threatens the survival of their culture. The festival is one of the few opportunities for Nubas to reclaim space in Sudan’s capital and display several music and dance performances as well as cultural exhibitions bringing together over 50 tribes of the Nuba Mountains. This year, the festival began with an acknowledgment of the perseverance of the people of the war-torn areas of the Nuba Mountains followed by the festival’s anthem and performances by 118 popular bands and seminars discussing aspects of Nuba culture and traditions.

"النوبة كوشيين وهم أصحاب حضارات وادي النيل القديمة، جد النوبة كوش بن حام بن نوح.  كاان لكوش 3 إخوة هم مصرائيم بن حام، ومصرائيم هو جد المصريين القدماء، ليس مصريو اليوم الذين ينحدرون من سلالات الأقوام التي إستعمرت مصر عبر التاريخ، كنعان بن حام وهو جد الكنعانين، وفوط أو فوت بن حام، وفوط هو جد الأمازيق والطوارق، والملاحظ تشابه بعض المصطلحات عند الأمازيق مع لغات المجموعات اللغوية لشعب النوبة في السودان."

  1. The dance that is performed in the video given as #2 in this post is the same as or very similar to the dance that is showcased in this 2010 YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0IR24E_kWZk&ab_channel=nubakoalib "The koalib kireng dance".

    Here's the summary comment for that video:
    "This is the dance of the Nuba koalib and it is shared by many nuba people. Koalib has more than six different dances. But This one is called kireng. enjoy it".
