This is not Atilogwu. It is not the stirring music and dance as performed by Mater Dei Grammar School, Ashaka in the Bendel State.

[Emeka7777]

I agree this is not Atilogu dance. Though the beating resemembled it

[omeihe1]

Atilogwu traditional dance is from Ezezagu (especially Iwollo people but actually entire Ezeagu) in present Enugu State

[enameltgirl226]

atilogwu is a really fast type of dance, my school did it once and it was awesome, i dont know what typr of dance this is.......

[MrPoker1000]

This is atilogwu dance, but this guys are so awkward and didnt have good rhythm and acrobatics which is the hallmark of Nkpokiti dance epitomised by the group from Umunze Aguata

[zookat]

Thank you. They might have been amateurs still learning the dance. "Gotta crawl before you could walk?" I am sure better dancers could have been found in more rural setting and these could have been city dancers just assembled for the camera, or dancers from different troupes. But the guy leading them and blowing the whistle and the instrument players were pretty good though?

[mayofabulous]

this dont look like the atilogu i did at my skool we kad more acrobatics

[AmaOnyeOgabu]

this is not Atilogwu at all, doesn't even sound like it, Atilogwu is fast paced and danced with power in group, they even do acrobatics with it, this is not close at all

[ezeimo]

may be you are talking of nkpokiti dancers?

[AmaOnyeOgabu]

now you got me confused, whats the diference between the two?

[kenslay]

ha ha ha ha !!! "you danced Atilogwu" and you can't recognise it when you see it??? I dnt need to see this video to tell me whether this is Atilogwu or not, mere listening the rythmn is a dead give away.

[ikagbim]

some Igbo music, but definintely not Atiligwu. Nice try...

[cushionangel]

what would you call it ...break dance? or pop.

It's ATILOGWU bro...put on ur glasses.

[OmoOvie]

That's my akpele right there! Men I love the sound of that flute!

[caddle20]

This is not Atilogwu dance.

This music sound different from what the guys are dancing to.This is a Yoruba music.

I danced Atilogwu in Nigeria and this not Atilogwu at all.

[OftheSoil]

There is no way this is Yoruba music, it is definitely Igbo music. You do know there are many different Atilogwu dance troupes and rhythms?

[zookat]

Okay smartie... get a video-cam, perform the REAL /AUTHENTIC Atilogwu dance and post it for the world to see!

Fair enough?  (-;

[sacalante]

agree

if this user without watch

the video can tell us

if is not polynesian music

then he don't know

when the whites in europe use leathers

africans had iron plows

keep your wonder work

[slajaa]

@zookat hahahahah Smartie

[meetashley]

shut up. this is not yoruba. do they use idu? they used ekwe and oja. yoruba music dont sound like that.

[YorubaON2]

@caddle20 This is not Yoruba music at all. Yoruba's don't use the flute sound instrument in their traditional music. The music sounds more igbo for sure, but I can't say if the dance is Atilogu or not. I was expecting to see acrobatics and somersaults from what I recollect of Atilogu dancing.

@caddle20 r u serious? if ur a nigerian..u shud knw that this is igbo/ibo... just coz they performed in lagos doesnt make it yoruba..cant u hear the instrumentals? the gong and the flute..dats not how yoruba sounds and yoruba use the talkin drum..do u even hear the talkin drum in the background? no.
