La Danse Zaouli - The Zaouli Dance - Voyage en Côte d'Ivoire Episode 2

[@margaretnesbeth593]

The footwork is astonishing and awesome👍🔥🌹🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️💪

[@24100mw]

I wonder how many generations this dance has been handed down. It is definitely not random motions, the music and motion go together for the entire dance. Beautiful!

[@bam-skater]

About two, it was invented in the 1950's.

[@ElEcodelTren]

​@@bam-skater really? can you share the source pls?

[@ElEcodelTren]

thats exactly what i thought... maybe not too old if the prev comment is right, but definitively that sounds makes me think of very ancient and the most primitive sounds... it feels like it hides some kind of charm... our unconciouss reacts to it...

[@lazer2521]

@@bam-skater traditions aren't just invented. It takes time to build. It's way farther back than the 1950's.

[@stonkmark941]

Think about the handmade instruments that have also probably been handed down thru generations.

[@raymondrace4837]

The dancing and movement demonstrated is absolutely stunning!!

[@bonzig54]

The dance is unreal, but, as my first look at the Ivory Coast, THE FABRICS are beautiful. From the drummers shirt, the scarf on the dancer, some of the background clothes, the little girls wrap skirt in the very beginning . Wonderful textiles!

To me, this fellow is the best dancer, with the best rhythm, on any of the videos I have watched. His upper body is as still while his feet and legs are flying. Truely amazing.

No, dancers are always just male

@@AmoebaInk I do. Both type dances look physically tough to perform well. Imagine these Zaouli dancers, with light shoes and taps on them, on a hard floor.

This one is my favorite too. He has some amazing moves. And the way he showcases the musicians is fantastic. Bumblebee rules!!!

[@andrewwatson9805]

Just amazing people! From what I understand--may be wrong--but the dancer is not dancing to the drummers; it's the other way around: the drummers follow the dancer. And, for me, that makes it even more mind blowing.

[@namepolanco5057]

Unreal! I never get tired of watching this 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@Salman-sc8gr]

The world's finest drummers and drums are in West Africa. As a child the beautiful sounds of drums from nearby village was like a lullaby at night.

[@wildlifegardenssydney7492]

this dancer musician osmosis and interplay is just SO fantastic. I really loved seeing the musicians watching the dancers every move and interpreting that in music. Wow

[@jimkhana007]

Have been intrigued by this style of dance since the first time I saw it about 10 years ago, been fascinated ever since. It just mesmerising. The ability and agility to perform the way they do is admirable, 👏👏👏

[@greggross8856]

Zaouli alone is reason enough to make me want to visit the Cote d'Ivoire. Incredible.

[@mamiloveyoumamiloveyo2978]

very original!! its amazing specially how the dance and the music synchronized..

[@gerardosoto5729]

Mesmerizing! Love the dance! The dancer knows all the inflections of the song, he/she almost acts as a conductor at times. Seen other videos where dancer is spurred by someone close by. Thanks for sharing!

@@Deontjie do you know where those barriers came from? Africa was cut up into these different Pieces by European a colonialist. They and the World Bank continues to control. Not that easy to break away it would mean War

@@denisshillingford5891 I understand the bores that was imposed by colonial rule. Why did the Africans allowed themselves to be ruled by Europe.
