This video focuses on the Malinke/ Malinka/ Mandinka People (formerly of the Malian Empire). They are one of the largest ethnic groups of Africa- you may be familiar because of Roots-. The main character, Kunte Kinte is Malinke. I recommend checking out Wikipedia for a general look at their culture.
What I find beautiful about this (largely Muslim) culture is their approach to rhythm. This video is inspiring and if it doesn't make you listen to the rhythm of your surroundings perhaps you aught to watch it a second time?
