What is this?? This is not Wolaita. This dancing and costume is ridiculous!! As usual a bizarre, derisive bastardization of southern Wolaita culture. I always wondered why they made the costumes so sexual and barely anything on the women. Then I realised: it reminds me of how the western world first viewed Africa, 'dark continent', as savage, overtly sexual and depraved. This is a pathetic, demented exoticism of a peoples and culture that deviate from the general known culture and populace.
The dance was NOT Gamo Gofa's whatsoever as it has no relation to Gamo Gofa culture or tradition but the song was. Remove your posting.
