Recently, several black people carrying coffins and dancing have quickly become popular on the Internet, and the highest number has reached millions. Why is this ** so popular? Mainly because the background ** is very magical, the electronic music and drum beat are very easy for people to immerse themselves in it, and several black people are dancing with coffins, although it is a funeral, but it looks very cheerful, so people are also curious about it. The black men carrying the coffins in the video are from Ghana and are famous for their dancing during funerals. Speaking of which, we have to mention the amazing place of Ghana. Ghana is located in West Africa, which is a relatively good economy, mainly based on agriculture and exporting cocoa and timber. Ghana is best known for its funeral culture, known as the funeral capital of the world.
In Ghana, birthdays and funerals are the most important days, but neither of the first two is as good as funerals. Funerals are a very important social occasion for Ghanaians, so the locals attach great importance to funerals, and a funeral with cards is everyone's wish before death. They will spend a lot of effort to hold the funeral, and even go into debt because of the funeral. According to incomplete statistics, a Ghanaian funeral costs between 120,000 and 150,000 yuan. And part of this money is spent on the announcement, the funeral of the Ghanaians will notify everyone to come, and because it is located in Africa, all will freeze people with ice first, and then wait for everyone to come back before the funeral, and this funeral preparation work has been prepared for more than a year, which is absolutely impossible in China. Another feature of Ghanaian funerals is the shape of the coffin. Unlike traditional Chinese coffins, in addition to the traditional coffin shape, Ghanaians can customize a wide variety of coffins for themselves according to their favorite items or their own wishes, only you can't think of it, you can't do without them. Whether it's a goldfish, a Coke bottle, a shoe or a rocket, you can complete the shape you want. So it's actually quite interesting, and of course there's more to their funerals than that.
According to Ghanaian tradition, the body is brought home on Friday nights, the deceased is dressed in a birthday robe, and the undertaker is called in to arrange the deceased's remains, and then the deceased is placed on the bed so that the funeral attendants can see the remains. In the evenings, African drums are beaten, dances are danced and traditional songs are sung, which they see as a process of purification, allowing the souls of the deceased to rest in peace and go to heaven. On Saturdays, the coffins are sent to the cemetery for burial, where the priest prays for the deceased, and then returns home for a few hours of revelry. Funerals are usually dressed in fuchsia or black, and women are asked to wear their long hair up. As a result, funerals have become the most important social place for Ghanaians, and many people wear new clothes to go to the funeral. Almost every weekend, every town in Ghana is bustling with an all-night revelry.
And the black brother's coffin carrying dance was born in this context. The founder and captain of the coffin carrying team is Benjamin Aidoo, who has his own funeral company, and the original idea of dancing at the funeral was proposed by a customer, who asked for a dance-style funeral at the funeral, Benjamin Aidoo had the idea to develop the current form. Then this coffin-carrying dance was officially developed. There are many families imitating the dance, but only Benjamin Aidoo is the best one, and he has also pushed the envelope by asking his team to wear some outstanding colors at the funeral instead of the traditional black clothes. Their fees are not cheap, and the cost of inviting them to a funeral is about 100,000 yuan, which shows how much Ghanaians attach importance to funerals. In fact, many people just think it's fun to see this ** at first, but there are also many people who oppose this practice, thinking that the funeral should be respectful to the deceased, should be quiet and sad, and in the eyes of many traditional Chinese, this form of funeral is completely disapprove. It's just that one country has one culture, and Ghana's funeral culture is like this, so it will be famous all over the world. The death of a loved one is not only about grief, but also about the thoughts of the living.
Some people say that the black brother's coffin is a kind of irony of death, death is not terrible, but we have to prove this truth in a more lively way. The dead have passed away, but the living are still alive, and it is for this reason that Ghana wants to use ** to take away the grief of the death of the person with a carnival. So after watching this, many people said that I would leave with a smile after I died. Different people have different understandings of phenomena, which is why culture spreads, just like funeral rituals, which are constantly evolving and changing, thus revealing new situations. In fact, there is a local saying that I like very much: "The best way to remember the deceased is not a variety of coffins, nor gorgeous and noble shrouds, but to do something positive for the deceased." "That's what we'd like to see.
