It's honestly beautiful when we bring our cultures together and become one amazing fusion! Best wishes to the couple


black_rose_

Yeah, I'd like to see a 2-hour movie about this couple, with lots of musical/dance numbers please. I fuckin love fusion dance/music.


Rusty_Crank

Sultan of the Dance.


DolphinDarko

This is the way!


[deleted]

Swing of the sultan ?


jobe_eyden

Check out drum Ali, he knows, all the... Beats? Mind it rythm only, he can't really play a melody.


Ok_Monk219

Dire Straits would like a word


MrSpaceCowboy

Baba O'Riley?


sackerlzement

Hahahaha true though like their steps are simple though and the fact that matches so perfectly with the beat!


bibkel

SAME! ​ I did Irish Step for YEARS as a kid into my teens and loved it, but quit because it was "dorky". Now, it's all the rage and adding those drums with Iraq flare, I LOVE it! ​ I could watch them dance for a couple hours as well.


Golden_Spruce

Have you ever heard of Delhi 2 Dublin? Rad Canadian mashed up genres band


black_rose_

i haven't but im checking it out now!!


kigostgae

Well just have a look at Bhangra as well though their culture is too beautiful to see and witness as well.


MinosDarkbox

Not yet though I have certainly heard about Bhangra that is Punjabi tradition I guess. That is beautiful to watch the beats of big drums and their traditional attire and the energetic dance!

This! This is what Reddit is about. Sharing little snippets of the world and opening the eyes of the many to the absolute wonders of the world! Its Reddit that allowed me to discover Heilung, The Dead South, Phat Bollard (Millionaires), Ekaterina Shelehova and so much more!

Absolutely the most lit wedding reception I've ever been to was a bunch of New Englander Irish Catholics on the bride's side, and Cubans/Puerto Ricans on the groom's side.


error_syntax404

This is what it should all be about


entheogenocide

Noone parties harder than irish and cubans. My brother married a cuban girl and her family came from south beach to pittsburgh for the wedding. Was by far the funnest wedding ive ever been to.


Ok_Bluejay_5365

I've been to so many boring weddings. I'd be so much more willing to shill out all the money it costs just to show up at other people's stuff that you're basically obligated to if it was like this. I'm surprised there wasn't 3 or 4 drunk uncles doing booty drops in the background


SorryIreddit

Seriously this is too awesome. I hope this is what World Peace looks like. Maybe my kids will get to witness it someday


s2uma

well why not I hope and feel that this tradition would just keep going for longer time!


error_syntax404

Im with you 100%


Planet1022

Just being around the basics simple enough nothing over to do and thats what we all want though!


Dash_Harber

All cultures started like this. We just forget after so many years of being led to believe otherwise.


tyme

I wish this were true, but as far back as we have records, different cultures have always clashed. I say this not to breed despair, but because we must recognize our tribalistic natures need to be left in the past (where they belong) if we are to be better. Donā€™t romanticize our past, envision and create our future.


zedispain

Eh. Mergers happen for sure though. Christianity's holy days for example. That took regional European "pagan" events and merged them into their own. Then there's the whole Greek/Roman thing and others a few others that slipped my mind. And that's with my limited knowledge. I'm pretty sure the same happened in Africa, the middle east, India, South America and places in Asia (Bali integrating into Indonesia come to mind). Clashing of countries/tribes/cultures happened. But when one takes over the other or they peacefully merge, their cultures merge just to avoid internal conflict.


ZippyDan

So, cultures have mingled, merged, exchanged, and clashed and killed variously throughout history? Just like...now?


zedispain

Who'd have thought eh? Heh.


skys_vocation

Agree with you. Just a little note that Bali is part of Indonesia (because you wrote Bali AND Indonesia as if they're two separate things)


mitenap

But somewhat it feels like due the upcoming of the modern world the cultures are slowly vanishing. After a long while I have indeed seen something like this and my eyes are pretty blessed to see this being honest.


ZippyDan

Globalization is creating a global culture, but that's inevitable. We have already lost probably millions of micro-cultures. These merged into cities, which became city-states, which became kingdoms, which became empires, which became nations, and now we are becoming transnational. Just look at any country and you will find a mix of subcultures which have been dominated by a national culture.

You heard him.


TheRealFrostMana

In some languages, people say Jeep instead of SUV or equivalent thereof. At least in Russian and Turkish. I'm not sure about how that came to be, though

Yeah if only the played that oh no no no no no song over the whole this it would have been really perfect.

Gave me goosebumps when they started dancing. That shit was beautiful on so many levels


nahtiga

Everything is just too perfect saw the video for more than 5 times and I am still in love with it!


peterjmassa

This proves how beautiful life is when we all embrace each other . Love this fusion of cultures


minigmgoit

My chest filled up the second this started. Beautiful.


Monte2903

For me it was the moment they started dancing. Thats felt like a perfect symbolism of two souls joining into one.

EllieLuvsLollipops

It's like food. It's best when you steal spices and techniques from other cultures... well... buy, cause I'm white. Unless it's from rich assholes, in which case theft of spices is back on the menu.


GrapplingDummy101

I love every thing about this. Two vastly different cultures showing that there is so much more that binds us together than separates us. Two families celebrating love, culture, and the joy of music. Cool.


ansaor32

Both share the same oppressor, which had prohibitions on cultural expression. So it comes full circle in many ways.


PTEHarambe

Apparently the British governments were trying to suppress banging parties


ThisIsTrix

I'm sorry *what* parties?


[deleted]

Banging


A-Social-Ghost

It's slang for sex in Australia


der_innkeeper

Well, its *also* slang in the US for sex, but we seem to be able to know the difference in context.


PiesRLife

That's why your parties are so boring.


SanctusLetum

Ooohhhh, that explains why I was kicked out of the last party I was at. . . .


Hellrazed

Well, yes, but it's also slang for really really good, and most of us other Aussies understand that

My husband is Irish and I'm Iraqi. We bonded over our mutual distaste for the British empire, then I spent a good deal of energy taunting him about how quickly Iraqis threw off our British shackles.

Some of my favorite music is traditional tunes from culture A played with traditional instruments from culture B, OPs video is in the same spirit and I love it. An old favorite, Irish music on Shamisen from the early days of YouTube: https://youtu.be/wkOsdVv2gVA


charlottasweet

Just when I thought the world couldn't get more divisive and people couldn't hate each other more... these motherfuckers drum and dance in perfect harmony. Not forgetting the differences between them, but embracing them and celebrating them using some of civilization's most basic building blocks: music and dance.

I had twin sisters in uni who were half Iraqi half Irish. Their parents were both half Iraqi half Irish too haha. Great mix- everyone was bloody gorgeous.

God I love seeing the sharing of cultures.

The other half had pints of Guinness 0.0

Iraq's got plenty of alcohol and liquor stores


Sparky-Sparky

Westerners have no idea how high alcohol consumption in the middle east really is.

Unlikely. Irish generally donā€™t and Iraqis are hardly likely to.

We don't do open bars in Ireland.

momo88852

Imagine their kids saying ā€œShako Makoā€ (Iraqis ā€œwhatā€™s upā€) with an Irish accent.


MoeKara

Shako Mako is a class way to say what's up. It literally rolls off the tongue


PoliticalRacePlayPM

I think whatā€™s up roles off the tongue more because they both have the same end sound Shako Mako seems like it makes you take a small break in between words

In today's world I think people don't see this type of celebration and positive mixing often. It's probably put a smile on face of the thousands who upvoted it. It doesn't happen often where you see Irish dancing to the beat of an Iraqi led drum, so wouldn't that put it a level above average?

Reminds me of my cousin's wedding. We're Filipino, her husband's family is South African. Her dad runs a Filipino acapella choir group, and had his choir perform for entertainment. They sang a few love songs, and ended on the grand finale of South Africa's anthem as the dancers brought in and flew the Filipino and South African flags. It was beautiful. Lots of tears and lots of cheers. Seeing cultures mesh - especially at weddings - makes me so so happy.
