Gumboots: Various

I stumbled upon this performance years ago. And I enjoyed watching it several times.Recently I realized my copy was damaged. So I was a customer again for this great show.This show is based on the singing and dancing that had been done by South African gold miners.It's been refined and shared with the world. And this version is fantastic. The men that do thisare very very talented. And many of them how prominent parts have loads of personality andare very talented. The music reaches your soul. Their singing is great. And their dancing is funto watch.I highly recommend this to anyone who likes music videos.

I bought this vidoe out of curiosity, and needless to say it wasn't what I expected. I purchased the video based on the reviews that I read. I guess what is considered good to some people might not be considered good to the next. If you are a college student or a former college student and you like stomp copetitions or greek shows, then this video might be the video for you. That's basically what it is, stomp dancing. The singing and dancing to me was really boring, but that is just my opinion. The best part about the tape is the commontary at the end, when dancers are interviewed, and they tell thier life story and how they got involved in stomp dancing....It's really interesting how they explain how stomping was developed in the gold mines in Africa as a way of communicating. Miners wasn't allowed to talk, so stomping patterns was developed as a way of talking. Rubber boots stomping in water. And some of the old footage of stomping in the video is pretty good too. Well, I voiced my opinion of what I think about the tape, now it's up to the buyer to decide if he or she wants to purchase the tape or DVD.

Although a few years ago now, this was a fabulous show showering the audience with song, dance and uplifting demonstrations of rhythmic and harmonic interpretations from this talented troupe. It took me a long time to find this DVD and am over the moon to finally have it. Thank you for the supply. ENJOY DANCE?? Get this DVD.

I am so happy that this video is clear. I've loved it from the first time I saw it and I'm ecstatic that I found it here on Amazon.

My wife saw this live a long time ago and talked about it all the time. One day I decided to do a google search to see if I could find it on DVD and there it was on Amazon. Made her so happy!

Amazon are aware of this and have fully refunded my money. I am absolutely disgusted that this is being sold as an original DVD. It obviously does not contain the additional material as advertised, and which is crucial to the disc. The case is flimsy and the insert very poorly photocopied. I HAVE the original already and wanted a second one. I would never copy a DVD. What REALLY hurts is that I know these musicians personally. They live in a third world country, are now too old to perform, and the meagre amount that the make from sales of this item are crucial to them. I am hoping that Amazon are no longer allowing this illegal company to operate on their website. Absolutely disgusted.

Fantastic performance!

An excellent introduction to traditional South African dance. The film takes you to the history of the gumboots then to a live performance in London.. Highly recommended.

ちゃんと表示してあったのですが、頭に血が上っており見落としていました。ＤＶＤ・ブルーレイプレイヤーでは再生できず、ＰＣのリージョンを変更して視聴しています。そのうちリージョンフリーの再生機を購入しようか検討中。それはともかく、この映像は以前シアターＴＶで見て惚れこんでいたもの。全く言葉解りませんが（ところどころでわずかに英語が入りますがそこだけちょっとわかる）ぜんぜん気にならない。実にセクシーで胸躍るというか、血が沸き立つ感じがします！中で歌っている歌、アフリカでは（南アフリカ？）有名な歌なのかしら。他の映画で流れた記憶が。タップの歴史というと暗い話になりそうですが、紹介してはいますがこのショーは明るくユニークで笑いが絶えません。客席でもみなさん座って見ているのによく踊ってる！ほんとに出演者たちセクシーで魅力的。是非。
