Next up: Trybals react to their body language being analyzed.

I absolutely love this branch of body language analysis. It isn't only about truth and lies - it is also how we meet as fellow human beings. ❤

Abdul being a kryptonite for body language analysts is such a power move by Abdul 😂😂😂

I was actually laughing out loud when you said contact Abdul for interrogation purposes, that was hilarious! 🤣 Loved it

20:16 As a South Asian myself, Muharam turning his ONE hand up is recognizable very easily as a "Arrey Wah!" in Hindi.. Kind of meaning "Oh wow!" It's very often seen among sitting audience to a musical or theatre performance. Actually a Google image or video search for "Arrey Wah" would bring up similar stuff. Loved this video! ❤

Hi, I was born blind, and wlth neural heating deficit. My site was restored after about six weeks or so. I will be 80 in September, and suffer from being legally blind, due to severe glaucoma. My hearing has gotten worse over the years. It’s been quite a journey. In spite of everything, I am a natural harmonizer, and have belong to many choirs and small groups. Singing a cappella has always been the best. That’s because when the song ends you must be on the same key you started with. Once belong to a church music group, that always sang for the 730 mass in our parish. We worked together for about eight years, and we got really really good. It was so much fun to harmonize. You just can’t imagine how satisfying it can be to to create a harmony. Hearing and feeling the horror we created was just the best.

I love how honest you are about Abdul. A lesser expert would claim to draw conclusions about that human statue. You have the confidence to say, “I have no idea what he’s thinking” 👏

Trybals is a true gem of a channel. They will brighten your day. The “regulars” are terrific. They have great personalities and awesome reactions. Their reactions to music videos are kind of mind blowing.

I found Trybal when they covered James Blunt singing ‘Monsters’. Since then I’ve been fascinated by them. They are so elegant joyful and empathetic. An absolute pleasure to watch

I get the impression Muharam is heavily involved in music in his daily life. Either he simply loves actively listening to music, or maybe he's a choir director or music teacher or something similar. He seems to be the most in tune with the musicality of it all, where the others are focused on the emotions or the mechanical aspects.

I love that over a third of this video was establishing baseline. That's how important it is.

Spidey! Get out of my head! That was such a surreal moment 🤣 It felt like you were talking right to me when you said, "You're trying it, aren't you?" because I was indeed trying it!! 😂

I've watched this channel a few times. I love seeing how other cultures respond to a different culture. Whether it be the Western world or another tribe.

I really want to sit down for a cup of tea with Muharam! He seems like such a fun loving and wise man. I love how expressive, interested and invested he is!

Notice That the eyebrow flash you're discussing at 22:47 happens when the Woman singing appears on the screen 😅 he just likes whom he's seeing in that moment. The cheeky smile also confirms that.

The young guy is quite expressive. I've seen him being touched to tears by music videos.

Spidey’s videos regulate me after a 12 hour night shift. Thank you, good sir 🥹🙌🤍🫶

One of my favorite Trybals videos is when they react to pow wow music and dancing, they dance in their seats and sing at points. In the end one of their elders shares one of their songs that seems to show a strong understanding of what's going on in the pow wow video.

As a musician who has performed all around the world, 'reading the room' is always a challenge. Audiences in Japan could just be quietly sitting there as the music plays and loving it while you're thinking, 'Oh man, we're bombing...' Americans are probably the most expressive when they like (or hate) something. You usually know what they're thinking right away.

15:58 that hand rub was pure anticipation He's excited

Muharam is such a genuine lovely person. He seems like a sweetheart.

I love this channel!!!! It’s so fun to see how similar people are around the world. Plus seeing adults experiencing new things almost turns them child like in their surprise and wonder. It’s a rare experience at a certain age, but always delightful. Thank you for this one ❤

I remember my high school speech teacher quoting that "90% of communication is nonverbal" statistic. It seemed sketchy at the time, so thanks for clearing that up. Mitch is a countertenor, I agree. Voice of an angel. I love watching music reaction videos. It's such a joy to watch other people hear the music I love for the first time and see it touch their hearts as it touches mine. These people being from such a different culture makes it extra special.

I'm only halfway through, but I love everything about this video. I am someone who's very empathetic and highly sensitive, so I'm sitting here exactly as you are describing.... my face is saying sadness, but it's simply the emotion I'm feeling from listening to this rendition, which is giving me chills 🥹 It's hauntingly beautiful 😍

I love how versatile your videos are! dope as heck

28:01 first thing i thought of when you did that with your hands with those words was Tiffany Gomas on the plane saying 'that mf-er is not real!' 😂 So glad you are doing this break down! Ive watched Trybals for yrs and it always feels like sitting down with friends and just chatting. Its a good reminder that at the end of the day we are all just ppl and all the categories we devise for each other really tells us so little about each other. Adnan does a good job at letting each of the reactors personalities shine. In a way, behavioral arts is about setting aside preconceived notions of all those categories and just looking at the person. It has practical applications, but i think it also is a way to experience things too... it focuses our observations outwards into reality instead of just in our mind. Youve given me lots to think about!

I haven't started this yet but Pentatonix is my absolute favorite band , so damn talented! And reaction videos to them are my second favorite thing! So I'm going to love this

10:38. He is saying "ji". it is used usually to refer to someone with respect. In this instance it's more like a "yes, yes" kind of acknowledgement.

I think the eyebrow flash you talked about at 22:46 is actually him appreciating Kirstin's beauty. If you look at the exact moment it happens at 18:53 and how his smile turns appreciative in addition to the eyebrows flashing, it's the moment she shows up in her closeup on the screen. That's my read on that anyways.

Spidey, having watched you for long hours I find you to be such an amazing professional and humble pure human being. I really feel this need of wishing just all the best in this world for you. I am your greatest fan, and I thank you for your work. Love from Poland! PS I indeed might want to contact Abdul some day 😂

I wake up at 4:30 am Monday through Friday for work . So i look forward to saturday because i get to sleep in and waking up to coffee and spidey. However when you post comments about your upcoming videos and you say you're excited, i get so excited and dont care about sleeping in. You always deliver i totally loved this video 🥰.

This is such a positive thing to watch. I love it! Ordinary people are fascinating. I do love the old man too, because he gave tremendous praise by praising the "Ustad", the supposed teacher that taught Pentatonix. By calling the teacher great he inadvertently said that Pentatonix is great. He reminds me of an old greengrocer from my early childhood who used to praise my mother when I showed proper social skills but never gave me a direct compliment for my behaviour. I wonder whether he's always been this stoic or that he learnt to control himself through life experience.

Mukhtiar's eyebrow flash was also his appreciation for the woman's beauty as the video shows a close up of her at the same moment. I'm certain of it because the interviewer asks him shortly thereafter if he planned to paint her & he did the eyebrow flash again in response to the question.

I've seen the Trybals before, in passing, on UKposts, and it's really fascinating. After I finish your video, I will definitely go and subscribe. I wanted to stop, though, and say that this is making me very emotional, and I have no idea why. Anyway, I love what you do spidey, and it's best when it's obviously a subject that you are personally very excited about. Thank you. ❤

lmao “if you’re ever being interrogated contact this man”

I took the “unnatural” comment to be like, it’s not natural for humans to be able to create music like this without instruments~ I like the switch up of content this week, keeping it fresh ✨

I love how the Mitch-slap is universal. 🤣Great video!

Abdul was saying “nahi” which means no (in agreement with being told there are no instruments) in both Urdu and Hindi

I think this was one of the most fascinating analysis to watch - enjoying your program all the time 🫶👍🎉

This is brilliant! Thanks for this. So excited to see your analysis.

I noticed that at 28:00 his shoulders vibrated suggesting that his feet started moving violently adding to the excitement and curiosity at that very moment.

This was such a fun video and a nice change of pace. Thanks for making this. I really enjoyed it.

‘Bro, I am curious’-love it 😅❤️

Thank you so much for covering this group ! I've been watching them for awhile 😊

I love your channel. The most intellectual place on UKposts. Thanks so much.

I think this video is one of my favorites! It was so fascinating! Thanks Spidey!

Hey Spidey, your insights on body language are incredible! Keep spreading positivity and understanding. You're making a difference! 🌟

Oooh, this was a great analysis! I particularly enjoyed observing the universal body language across cultures. Please do more videos like this 🙏🏽 😊

Pentatonix's version of Hallelujah is one of my absolute favorites! It's so smooth and passionate, and the notes are out of this world!

This is a near full answer to a question I'd posted on another one of your videos a couple weeks ago. This is Amazing! 😍

At 21:00 the hand movement (twisting at the wrists without moving the arms) is common in expressing appreciation, often accompanied by saying “Wah” (sounds more like a “Vah”). He is generally impressed as far as I can tell 🙏🏻

When I hear this song, some of the harmonies bring a physical reaction in my skin and scrunching of my shoulders, feeling a painful pleasure, if that makes any sense. If one is physically sensitive like this, I can see that that person will show their feeling most.

Theres another similar channel called Tribal People Try, and those reactors are very emotive. You'd love them. Highly recommend amd would enjoy some more of these too.

Hi 🙂

One of my favourite videos of yours, thank you Spidey. It’s fascinating how you can start to feel a connection towards a stranger just by slowing down and considering their non-verbal communication.

Wow wow wow Spidey, this was so fascinating!!! I'm going to watch it again straightaway. I only learned about this Tribals channel from your community post sharing about them, and I can't thank you enough!! Absolutely fantastic work once again.

I enjoyed this one so much. Truly amazing to see the body language interpretation versus actual words.

You’re right, this one was a really fun one. I’ve seen the video before but this brings so much to it. It’s a reaction video so having a deeper understanding of their reactions is fantastic.

I follow them already! So cool you chose this as new content!

This is the first time I’m seeing one of your videos and I’m hooked! I’m a speech-language pathologist and I work primarily with children and adults with developmental disabilities. The vast majority of my students have autism, so I’m often trying to teach them these common nuances of nonverbal communication. They pick up on the bigger, more obvious nonverbal communication behaviors but often struggle with the smaller, quicker behaviors and how the combination of simultaneous behaviors or the quick succession of behaviors can help us more accurately infer an individuals thoughts, emotions, and intentions. I’m looking forward to exploring more of your videos to see if I can use any of them to help teach my students! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and expertise!

Ah, I loved that you analyzed Trybals Spidey! I’ve watched them react to so much music but now I’m interested to go back & watch their reactions first with no sound (ignoring the subtitles) to see if I can pick up on how they feel. Thanks for the insightful analysis as always 😊

Your aside about eyebrow flashes being universal made me wonder if the lack of visible eyebrows on very light people (redheads, like myself, or albinos) is what makes many people immediately dislike or distrust us. It's a definite thing that I've noticed. Maybe an inability to read the eyebrow immediately makes us appear odd?

I really never expected my loves of Spidey and my favorite band together! Any excuse to see PTX.

I just started watching, but I must comment already. (I probably will a few times because this may be one of your most important videos everrrr -- if not one of THE most important ever.) We have to realize that our cultures separate us ... but still, there's SO much that unites us!! Much gratitude from a Canadian expat in Holland! 🙏

I've been watching you for a while, and I think it's really interesting that YOU include a lot of head shaking normally, as your baseline. Even when speaking about positive things or facts you know to be true, you shake your head often making it just a little difficult to discern when you are saying something or repeating something someone said that you internally disagree with.

I clicked so fast when I saw this. I LOVE watching them. They touch my heart every time. ❤️

“You’re trying it aren’t you” just as I’m trying it! lol - just great!

Youre Armenian?!! Been watching your videos for awhile now and had no idea. Great videos! 🇦🇲🇦🇲

Brilliant video again Spidey! Found this one particularly interesting. Please do more like this 🙏🏻 Never seen Trybals videos before but will definitely start watching them now. Muharam immediately piqued my interest. I recognised a fellow music lover in his first appearance purely by his reaction to being told that they would be listening to a song. This man is someone who, like myself, is driven by music. He doesn’t just listen to it, he *feels* it. We are not people who can switch off to music. Wherever we are, if there is a song playing, it will capture our attention like an I-phone picking up a hot-spot signal. You can see in his reactions later on in the video that Muharam is swept away by the music and the emotion of the song. I really feel that it resonates strongly with him. At the end of the interview when he is reserved in describing the video, I think it is because he has “come back down to earth”. Expressing the emotions he felt in the moment after the fact may feel foolish or embarrassing. I often feel that way when music has transported me to a place of euphoria, passion or sorrow which does not align with how I actually feel. Good music really can transport you away from yourself. 11:45 When Muharam clenches his fists and goes “oooh” is so relatable! I recently attended a gig which I was enjoying so much, that I was practically climbing over the balcony because I just couldn’t get close enough to the music. I wanted to be IN the music. But then the band began a song, which I immediately recognised as one I love and that I hadn’t expected them to play. Even in the moment, I realised that my reaction could be misinterpreted as annoyance or disgust. This was because I had (fairly violently) thrown my arms up, twisted my whole upper body away from the stage, lifted my head to the sky scrunched up my face making an “Urgh!” sound. It must have looked like I’d been punched in the face! I kinda was in a figurative sense, because for a split second it overwhelmed me to the point of being (emotionally) painful. As Gen Z might say, I got “hit in the feels”. 😅 Music is a universal language. Whatever life throws at me, I always seem to find the music that I need at that time. The language is irrelevant. I once became obsessed with a Japanese song which felt incredibly powerful to me. When I finally translated the lyrics a week later, I burst into tears because they described my exact situation and feelings. Something in the music had resonated with something in me and that experience made me far more open to foreign language music than ever before. Music is a powerful thing and watching the effect that this song has on (most of) this panel is fascinating. 😊 Thank you Spidey!

You worked very hard! You must have had very good teachers! and ... I enjoyed your analysis! As fascinating as watching these people vibrating to beauty as many have forgotten already.

I tried the sad eyes with the smile as you described it and immediately started crying. That's perfectly healthy and totally fine right? 😅 #SNAFU

Amazing, I’ve seen some of their reaction videos and I actually thought about you analysing the body language! What a gift! Thank you! 🙏 Also I’ve heard this song in many versions (it was written by Leonard Cohen btw) but never heard it a cappella , really good!

The way I clicked when I saw the thumbnail. I’ve watched you for a while, I’ve watched many of the tribal reactions and Pentatonix is my favorite band of all time and I’m going to go see them for the 4th time in June!

Is the light bulb on your bookshelf floating somehow?

Please more of that content! I enjoyed this video so much. I enjoy your content in general,, you're very good at your job, and I'd be super excited to see moreTrybals analyses:3 cheers

Superb! So pleased you offered your insights the Trybals and shined light on their channel. I enjoy watching them too!

I already love Tribals and Pentatonix, so a treat for me. Usually, your pop cultural explorations are out of my experience.

Oh, I love the Tribal people trying new experiences channel!! Thank you so much for showcasing them and analyzing this today. I appreciate your work, Spidey!

30:17 🤣😂🤣 100% was trying it… that made me laugh so hard!!! Really well done Spidey! This video is one of my favorites. Also Penatonix 💖 Hallelujah 💖 I was getting chills even with the muting. Loved it! Loved everything about this video! You have outdone yourself with this one!

Spidey, this is one of my very favorites. I told you to shut up when you asked if I was doing that with my eyebrows. I love that there is someone you can’t read. I love the song. 😂.

Wow! I loved this analysis & their reactions. All your videos are interesting, but this was intriguing & honestly my favourite!

I scrunch my nose to adjust my glasses all the time. Maybe that’s what dude was doing.

This was really fascinating - thank you!!! It would be great to see more of these. (And now I'm off to go watch more of their reaction vids!)

What an educational experience this is. I loved your commentary. I'll check out their other videos. Thanks.

This was such a fascinating topic! It was refreshing to see something a little different and I just really, really enjoyed it.

I really like your takes on people involved in current events, but this was such a fun video to watch. It was sort of a breath of fresh air to see something like this for a change (though when an interestinf interview or something happens, I run to youtube to see what you have to say about it, so please don't stop the other stuff!)

I love this - this is all the content I need. Please never stop making videos.

LOVE THIS ! So excited to watch!

I thought this was excellent. Trying to read emotions from folks of other cultures is interesting. It shows that we are more alike than different, but those differences can be crucial. Well done, Spidey!

Amazing episode, Spidey! I'm going to show this one to my girls. Your own level of comfort and enjoyment (and your hair is looking ahmazing 🪄) shines through, too.

Every time I see these delightful folks I am again overwhelmed with affection for them. Thanks for looking at them with/for us.

The Trybals are such a gem! Great to see them on your channel. I love their videos where they discovered heavy metal. And actually loving it so much that they come back to even heavier music. Parvati seems a bit shy, but is the biggest fan of loud music I think. Muharam is more like an enthousiastic, playfull puppy who loves everything he discovers. Especially when they tried out painting for the first time in their lives, following along with Bob Ross. Abdul is stoic, but is very observant and you can always see a twinkle in his eyes. And he often makes comments that are so wise and insightful.

I lived in Bulgaria for a while and it's super weird to adjust to the opposite nodding. There was a lot of awkward standing in front of a cash register waiting for something they've told/nodded me they don't have.😅😅😅

Spidey this is a great one! On top of this: Great awareness of cultural differences and similarities, body language, reactions to music, differences in the amounth of body language per person and once again letting us know about the 90% body language myth. There is one thing that I absolutely love about this one... I love how we learn the importance of context here. That is something i think people can forget to take into consideration often. When it is such an important, even essential part of analysing pretty much anything. Thank you for putting that extra emphasis on that! So many people draw conclusions based on half-info. This context awareness is so important. Even in day to day critical thinking. So thank you for putting it in your video here. ❤

I was so excited when I saw the thumbnail! Trybals is such a lovely channel! And then I got even more excited when I noticed the reaction was to Pentatonix. I've been a fan since they were on The Sing Off!

Oooooh, you were so right to be excited about this video, it is SO interesting to observe people from a different culture react to something and trying to understand what their behaviour is telling us. I am all for you doing more of these types of videos, never mind the popularity of the topic, cover whatever you find interesting! I used to work with some people from India and every time I was talking to them about something important, their head would just shake in all directions but mostly left-right. And I was so confused with this that one day I asked one of the guys why he keeps shaking his head this way, he said it was to let me know he was listening to me. That was mind blowing for me because I thought he was just disagreeing with me but not wanting to say anything out of courtesy. Body language is FASCINATING! Thanks for all the valuable lessons Spidey!

I watched another of their videos in which they reacted to "Man of Constant Sorrow" by Home Free (another a capella group). In that one, Abdul said that he liked Pentatonix better and that he got goose bumps while listening to Pentatonix. So I guess he liked it after all. 🙂

Love this Spidey, and loved observing the reactions of each of the tribals. I couldn't help but wonder how you would read my crystal clear body language every time I hear this song lol. Now I'd love to see the tribals reaction to Disturbed's cover of Sounds of Silence!

I loved this type of video. I get so excited when I give my opinion out loud, and then you say it, and it's the same. It makes me feel like I'm really learning this 😊

What's interesting is that half my family is Turkish and I've seen in these men the same behavior my own father displays. He's very stoic and almost cautious when displaying emotions, especially positive emotions, especially (bis repetita) around strangers, to the family or to the country itself. Sindh is far from there but they are mostly muslim as far as I know, it might come from this cultural way of being raised to be strong/not emotional men, which is how I've been raised but as a woman. Vulnerability and feelings are harder to express with him than with the French side of the family. As you said, we're know for talking with our hands open, which I just realized, haha! Great video once again, glad to see something less controversial or centered around the english speaking part of the world. Foreign cultures are so interesting and rich!
