Some people celebrate death and mourn birth.

Birth is an uncertain journey and death means you have lived and affect others.

This is an African tradition. Some Hindus from the Madrassi extraction does a similar type of life mourning and death celebration.

I think the gyration was a bit to stomach for virgin eyes.

I have been on the side line at these funeral.

I also think the philosophy on live and death in a reasonable one

Ghetto funerals in most Latin American and Caribbean countries like that now..
No problem there...it's just one dead human out of 7 billion,no big deal..let them do what makes them feel happy in the circumstances,it's just rotting flesh in a box,from his perspective and situation what happening there can only be a plus,either that or straight in a hole...very flattering actually..

True and I am aware of this cultural practice in certain sub cultures, we have to respect people's culture.

However, the open bulling is what I object to, dancing yes, but it should not end up as a bulling session from grown mature adults.

Big funeral!
Reminds me of the village days when there was a wedding. There had to be a juke box in de bottom house from the Thursday for a Sunday wedding. Every single star boy from villages away will come uninvited to bruk dance and wine every night.

Based on this video, looks like every dance man might be eagerly waiting for the next funeral to go buss a wine!
With the reported killings going on, might be a regular treat.
