My man! , This would be the greatest movement I've ever seen during your visit to Sri Lanka. A lady said that she was really glad to see a person like you, and she introduced you as 'Our one.' It seems like these people have a lot of thoughts that can't be translated. A thousand likes from the bottom of my heart as a Sri lankan.
That is so fantastic to see our African descendants in Sri Lanka in joyful moment. They must be close to the sea coast. It's really wonderful of you to visit our African brothers and sisters in Sri Lanka.
The Africans brought by English people in the white imperialists ' era as soldiers had raped innocent Sinhalese women by force and these people are the descendants .
Imani, Instead of the places that most tourists always show, showing the world unexplored areas and I appreciate your friendliness. ❤ Bohoma Isthuthi. 🇱🇰
You integrate so well with Sri Lankan ppl. It's awesome to find a little pocket of Sri Lankans with African discendance since 14th century. They are so lovely, happy people and could see how happy they were to meet and greet you. Music is so great and similar to Afro music and dancing. Thank you buddy, you are welcome to SL. 👍❤😊
Dear, I am Michael from Sri Lanka. My origin coming from African. But mostly we found in Tamil. My farther is late Anglican priest. I glad to see you again in my mother land. Thank you for your video
Mr, Imaani thanks for your vedios, as a sinhala, Buddhist, we have no anti racial minds, give my wishes to the people there and I wish you too, most of my favourite actors, sportmens, Cricketers, soccer players Boxers are Affricans I am not going to name them all are legendary figures, but i never forget,, of late Mr, Martin luther king civil rights activitievist, any way your presentation is superb, good luck & good bye, live long with good health N full of happyness Addios, බුදුසරණයි
Salute for this documentary Imani .not many Sri Lankans know about the existence of these brothers and sisters who came to Sri Lanka in 1500s …They are a part of our country .. part of our culture ..❤❤ Living in harmony !! Thanks a lot !!
Amazing video,love you work. These guy were bought to SL from the east coast of Africa by the Portugese as slaves perhaps. A community that needs a lot of recognition. They sing in a sorta creole, but I can not understand what they are saying, but I hear a smattering of portugese and some sinhala words and unrecognizeable words. I hope this community will get more official recognition in SL. I believe the baila music of SL originated from this community. You can tell from the 6/8 rytham!. The mother was so genuinely happy to see you. Such a wholesome interaciton!
The Africans brought by English people in the white imperialists ' era as soldiers had raped innocent Sinhalese women by force and these people are the descendants .
The legend has it that one great king who ruled the country during 1600s had a battalion of African soldiers who escaped from the European invaders. Those Africans were appointed as high ranking officers and were loved by the king. And they helped Sinhalese to fight off the invaders and earned the respect and love from the natives.

Very commendable of you to do a video of those people. Sure thing they will appreciate your kind visit. Infact not so long ago another utube vlogger - I Am Marwa, also visited them and uploaded a video. Trust u will enjoy the rest of your stay in Sri Lanka.
Thanks for sharing. Now I knew African descendants exist in Sri Lankan too.Look how open they are in welcoming you and to share their music with you. It is joyful to see this .
I pray that one day the African Diaspora will support and care for our people all over the world, with whatever they need. I pray we will solve the problem of our people being the poorest in every country where we find them, that we never knew they were there. God bring justice and freedom to your original people. ameen.
Fantastic! The Africans came with the Portuguese in the 16th century and settled down in Sri Lanka. I'm glad to see the tradition continues to this date.
Wow, this is beautiful! Beautiful because you approach everyone with love and empathy. I am impressed by your understanding of the culture and languages.
in sri lanka the people get discriminated is just uneducated people, if you educate yrself (gvmnt give 100% free education from grade 1 until you finish yr higher education in universities to all lankans ,also 100% free healthcare for every citizen too)so you just have to learn free and getting out of poverty , the problem is village people are not competitive in learning as the kids in cities and urban areas many rural lankan parents let their kids to do anything they want but in urban areas and cities parents dont let their kids stay without learn , make time schedules for them (basically control the kids as they want until they get succeeded) so villegers being poorer while others being richer ,@@maharamakrishnan
This is the most captivating travel vlog video I have ever seen. Imani, your exceptional work truly transports the viewer to incredible destinations, immersing them in the beauty and culture of each place. Keep up the fantastic work! When you are in England come and have some Srilankan Food from my Food Truck..
I've never seen these people in our country until you upload this video. They seems really happy to see you here. BTW I heard that there is another village in south coast near Galle where people of african descendants live.
Very Nice Good Dance - Even though I was born in Sri Lanka , I did not know that Africans Lived in Sri Lanka . RUclipsr Mawo showed earlier . Now you show. Special Greetings.
Loved their performance. The lottery seller was definitely a winner. Lots of people would be sad and low key but his drumming was from his heart. He did not stop smiling
I think there are another group of similar descendants in easyetn part of Sri Lanka (Trincomalle side) with a stronger resemblance to Africans. They are a proud community of ours and we are proud of them
Who was there everyone is full of smiling and generous . thanks for the showed this area for the world . this month is the month of the sinhala new year month if possible make a video about it. what you are doing is very valuable. appreciate it ❣ sri lankava kohomada imani ❓

Fantastic! The Africans came with the Portuguese in the 16th century and settled down in Sri Lanka. I'm glad to see the tradition continues to this date.
Thanks for the info.
@Inspire For Travel they came as mercenaries and revolted against the Portuguese as a result, they were given status and made apart of the Kings army.
Thank you very much visit our beautiful country and show to the world our people ❤
Wow, this is beautiful! Beautiful because you approach everyone with love and empathy. I am impressed by your understanding of the culture and languages.
Few books written in these peoples and there Portuguese music. These songs called baila and kaffirinna.they came with Portuguese.
Thanks for the info.
හරිම ලස්සනයි නියමයි
I'm happy and proud of you all ! Great video ! ❤🎉😊🌏🙏🍀🐞🌞😍
Now they are SriLankans, they belong there,
Love the diversity
I'm living in same district in chilaw. This african community is very peaceful and Innocent. Pleace somehow help them to develop their life 🙏🙏🙏
Perhaps the others discriminate against them, thats usually the reason they might be very poor
@@maharamakrishnan no the problem is sri lanka very poor country also lot of economic crisis During pandemic many part of sri lanka not develop
in sri lanka the people get discriminated is just uneducated people, if you educate yrself (gvmnt give 100% free education from grade 1 until you finish yr higher education in universities to all lankans ,also 100% free healthcare for every citizen too)so you just have to learn free and getting out of poverty ,
the problem is village people are not competitive in learning as the kids in cities and urban areas
many rural lankan parents let their kids to do anything they want
but in urban areas and cities parents dont let their kids stay without learn , make time schedules for them (basically control the kids as they want until they get succeeded)
so villegers being poorer while others being richer ,@@maharamakrishnan
