I'm from the hills, and it is here that these africans are exploited to dress and dance for an enterance fee paid by tourists, there is no real conviction neither substance to the dance. Whilst some of the moves resemble some authenticity, this unfortunately is tame. Depending on the theme for the dance, the emotions that come through the body of the dancer/s is not prevalent here. Look at Johnny Clegg dancing in the rural heartland and you will feel and see the difference. Tourist enjoyment?

@rastarobbo No pleasing some people. I suppose even Zulu dancers have their equivalent of Simon Cowl.

i see this all the time on the lunch room tables, first they gather up, than they dance and cause a ruckus

[logarock]

Yea. They are exploited by the chief that tells them to dance and pockets all the cash. But hay I do like the deep deep funk some of these tribes make. This is just a bunch of war mongering music here.

@rastarobbo with the poverty n destruction of tribes and cultures right across Africa, one would think this is an opportunity not exploitation. sadly in these times money speaks volumes, tribal culture speaks only to the tribe and feeds very little. Keep ur culture alive, share it with the world, be proud of who u are and where u came from, but dont call it exploitation, call it an oportunity.
