f politics, african american hip hop dance and reggae and dancehall is an extension of african dance, and nigeria has the most influence, this edo dance is just ltk break dancing
and the guys are using juju (voodoo) power to dance like that
when I'm rich i hope to make my white/western friends see these wonderful display live.Either i take my friends home or i bring these guys to Europe.I am so happy to see this...
Thank God, this is here, i have been wanting to post this dance into youtube. my grandfather used to be one of them 'the spirit dancers'. I hav been wondering what people would say when they see it. Its just a pity some people would always resort to abuses to air their opinion. Guys, it does not have to degenerate into this. i really owe the guy that uploaded this, tho i hav CDs of faster guys.
how did this clip spark a political discussion? there are many confused people out there.... anyhoo these are some talanted acrobats. what's the context for this clip?
You know while Bush was fighting his war in Iraq, many Black in the US were rioting in Cincinnati because police had killed over 55 unarmed men in the course of one year. We're victims of this government as well.
Back to topic. You should read about Catherine Dunham and her influence on Black dance. She was initiated under Shango and introduced to mainstream dance many of the elements that make up modern Hip-Hop dance using African dance sources.
Furthermore your logic fails because non of what you've state has any bearing on weather this dance has something to do with the origins of African American dance and martial arts.
If you knew anything about the Lindy Hop, Jailhouse Rock, Knocking and Kicking, Capoeira, Hip-Hop dance, then you'd clearly see the connection between many of the unique movements.
I think the African American preservation of their culture in the face of the largest holocaust should illicit pride in all Africans.
so lindy hop and jailhouse rock and all the other dances have their origin in edo dance?. mmmmm?. i dont think so. african american perservation of what culture exactly?. you need to do dna traces to find any link to africa and most of you dont like the term "African " american.. if you doubt this FACT. just check out the various videos on youtube where this is a very contentious topic amongst your fellow black americans who dont see why they should be linked to africa as they have no direct
