Soukous Stars dancers: The Crowd Goes Wild!

The highpoint of the Soukous Stars show Friday night in Newark was the dancer-by-dancer introductions that Machine Katalayi does. This 14-minute video will have you riveted to the screen. You can watch this clip 10 times and see something new and different in it every time.

The crowd went wild over the dancers. Was it Mambo's coquettish appeal? Was it Maria's HEAD STAND WHILE DANCING? (really!!) -- well whatever it was the crowd loved it SO MUCH the authorities (Euloge and Nono, both honorably protective of the girls) had to step in and fight back the revelers!! Don't miss this 14-minute video -- the last 14-minutes of the show.

Hi scott,

thanks for your good works in promoting African music, i must say your efforts are not going unnoticed and you are certainly a good ambassador of Africa. We are unquestionably the best and our music tells it all. I wish to know how i can contact the Soukous Stars. Thanks again, and God bless.

[ScottShuster]

Is there any soukous club In NJ?

[ScottShuster]

Maybe!..There are a lot of Kenyans in the middle of the state so maybe there are some clubs that are at least African, if not specifically soukous. There is a place in Newark (Grand Avenue) called "African Stand" that is mainly a party-room available for hire - it's where we filmed some of the soukous videos here in YouTube but I don't think they have regular events. If you find out more, tell us all, here, please!!

@oladapo007 i dont know of purely soukous, but there is club abuja and one other that play a lot of african music.

@Nekosenpai24: The first song is call Adjoa. The best & the orginal song was released in the 1970s by a Ghanan hghlife group called Super Sweet Talks. If you want a copy of this song, you can purchase from the Sterns African music website.

[Nekosenpai24]

I had that song in one of my dad's old tapes, but I forgot the name of the song.

Can you please tell me of that song they just played?
