Thousand, and thousand years of history, and this shameful #$$#$^

[@bcarr5163]

Zaouli dance is a 20th century creation. Not thousands of years.

[@MisterZezeTV]

The Zaouli is a sacred mask dancer from the Gouro’s tribe in the Ivory Coast . In fact he’s so sacred that, when he comes out, people await and he doesn’t stay long. His dance steps are precised and he doesn’t move around much ( like this guy did left and right)because every steps has a meaning. The black guys are certainly struggling artists in Europe and decided to imitate the Zaouli to gain momentum, but this one is a failure. He was kind of clowning around. My advice is you can get an idea from a culture and innovate create something different for monetary gain. But do not copy exactly that culture attributes and expose it as it’s a simple thing and own it. That become an insult and the dilution of their sacred rituals.

[@nyam4053]

I’m from Côte d’Ivoire and zaouli is not a sacred mask in fact it’s a profane mask. But what you said was correct, they shouldn’t tried to appropriated it but appreciated it 😊

Je comprends ton ressentiment, oui j'ai vu (je suis un stupide français blanc de la métropole) le zaouli original, là on n'y est pas vraiment. Par contre, je vois dans ces danseuses, et dans le public, des blancs en admiration devant la beauté de la culture africaine, devant ce que la Côte d'Ivoire nous a apportée, et c'est ce qui importe le plus, il n'y a pas dans cette démonstration culturelle le mépris du colonisateur de nos ancêtres, mais l'admiration, la prise de conscience de la richesse de la culture africaine originelle, qu'il faut à tout prix protéger et valoriser. Voir ces "cons de blancs" tenter d'imiter (mal surement) l'art africain, devrait réjouir tous les africains.😍

There are certain cultural expressions that are particular to a unique culture....Such is Zaouli....Let us leave this for the people of Cote d'ivoire because all else is a poor and weak expression of their glory. So what are some moments that even approach the majesty of Zaouli in Western culture? here is an example: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoq6gZujmdqGerM it is unique to the culture and times of the west and can't be imitated by any other culture effectively.

These pink people are flushing into African cultures so much that they want to know it all, be part of it, and later sell it back to us on the internet or present it in the museums, and later renaming it. Like Clara steps movement, or steps dancing steps. That time you will tell them why did you rename it, they will say didn't we pay you? Same way they did with all hip-hop songs and raps in the 80's. Te Romans and Greeks did it in ancient EGYPT too. This is because they don't have a culture or tradition anywhere, and they are not natives to any part of the world.
