THE new series of The Tribe will be shown on Channel 4 tonight (Thursday, June 11).
This first episode of a major new documentary series introduces one of the most charismatic, loud and fun-loving families on television.
Living in four mud huts in southern Ethiopia, a three-generational tribal family known to their friends and neighbours as the Ayke Mukos, have allowed cameras to film their lives.
Watching this(on +1 after BB) due to there being so few programmes with black people in them

I'm surprised the can get a mobile phone signal, we can't get one in our local pub!
No but I'd guess about 78
Not sure everyone takes his moaning too seriously, with kids coming round to lob stones at Grandad's Hut.
He got himself so worked up when his Son's told him to give up the meetings he had to told to go and have a lie down.
The Bride negotiation and payment is enough to drive anyone garrity, pay over her lifetime then Her family can ask for extra payments further down the line, if they feel like it.
They all seem very smiley and cheerful his family.
How old is his second wife and how did they meet/negotiate, I can only guess she's been Married before and her husband is dead, as she's not a youngster.
It looks like the old guy might have cancer or something.
The BBQ was very regimented, and what's with the hats?
At the market
Just seen that - so they can only charge them up once a week, my kids would be demented
Love the fact that the tribe are having the same problems as we do with lazy teenagers!
ETA and teenagers that drain us of all our money and don't come home!
The Interviewer asked why the oldest brother took a gun to the negotiation with the potential inlaws, he said it was to impress them.
I'm guessing the interviewer knows enough about the negotiation process and relationships to know he didn't take the gun along because things could 'kick off'
Expensive gun, good clothing, lots of goats and cattle, etc, etc, impresses inlaws and others, not the main reason for having them though.
I thought the same
Not so sure Hachi?? and Dami becoming best friends, as Mum wants, will be a good idea, Hachi needs a kick up the hole, I'm not listening, leave me alone, whatever'
Comes back from town flaunting the clothes she's bought, possibly with what she lifted out of Mum's purse.
Mum and her friend having a moan/chat were amusing.
'Look at the state of that Goat pen, people will think the owners died'
'You're telling me'
Something must be getting lost in translation, when Dad came into the hut with Dami's friends, he started moaning about someone been in the way, and there was giggling all round, I'm guessing that he intended to be funny, although it didn't sound it.
The mobile phone thing surprised me, it's really the only western thing they have. Did anyone catch Kate Humble's film on Nomads last week. There was a man in Siberia, up a tree trying to get a signal on his mobile phone. The temperature was -30!:o
It must have been quite horrible being covered with the butter and mud mixture. Probably smelt too.
