I think Zaouli is the most impressive dance in the world and one of the most complex ones too because the dancer actually sets the pace of the musicians and not the other way
Ive heard this several times before, but when you start to recognise the beats then it kinda falls apart.
Not less impressive in any way. But it is what it is.
If you know the track then youre not in control.. You just respond
@@martinwinther6013 You're right, I love the communication between the dancer and musician and how they just react to each other, the hand signals work very well too
@@pepemapache It is the core of REAL music and REAL dance. The interaction.
You let the rythm take over.
And nomatter where it comes from and where it goes to(is it the music that run the dance, or dance that run the music) - Then its just one of the most impressive styles around.
Its up there with jitterbug, breakdance, ballet and that cossack soldiers dance.
Jawdropping skills..
Increíble! Me hipnotiza esta danza de enormes poderes. Me encanta haberla conocido gracias a las redes sociales, que deberían servir solo para conocer, comprender, ser parte y poder acercarnos unos a otros como los hermanos que somos. Muchas gracias 🫂👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I'm really happy to see the children dance. It means the culture and tradition will continue into many generations!
Sunshine96818 so ur happy that they have kids r dancing, but wut u don’t know is dat this is a voodoo festival 😂🤣🤣 y u think the man on yellow keeps throwing slat on the other guy.
Please, this masquerade is similar to Igala own including the dance, please which country is this? Am Igala of Nigeria
Superbe !!!brvo aux danseurs et aux musciens et bravo au peuple de la Cote d Ivoire!!!!
I loved seeing the children dancing!
I have great admiration for the dancers and musicians for putting on such energetic performances.
Thank you Ancestors for bringing me in contact with this, and thank you TH-cam for being the technology that serves this.....I am so grateful for this, I danced alongside, (Not as good), but I connected with my ancestors and the Great African Culture that will Save the World once again, if the world lets it! Oh Hail Mama Africa, you have suffered, you have been raped, plundered, used and abused, yet you retain you dignity in your Culture, which is what unites Afrika! We are Wan (One), Wake up Afrika, The World Awaits You Return!
By watching this video I cannot explain it why, but I got teary eyes!!! It's so beautiful watching only a mere fraction of African culture that I admire all the participants display in action and for the lack of better words... they are freaking amazing!!!
Beautiful dances and the children practicing when time comes. Greetings from Mexico.
Merci, fière d'être africaine et ivoirienne. Bravo au Zaouli, pure patrimoine de la Côte d'Ivoire. Merci à nos ancestres pour ce leg 🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤
The dancing is awesome but let's give some love for the musicians!
Very true. If you focus on the music, particularly the percussive part of it, and the leg movements, they are very closely connected. I assume the musicians are taking their lead from the dancer, but the reaction time to change their playing to match, is just about zero. I guess they are following well established patterns, and it isn't quite Beethoven's 5th, but even so....
@@alexanderSydneyOz Yeah, like in most Afrian Dances there is a solid base of percusive patterns and moves that go along and are shared my most dancers/musicians then they take that base and are able to switch it up on the fly because they all know it aswell as special patterns only a group of musicans and a dancer know.
These sort of masked dances are very endemic of central and western Africa with each region having it's own twist. The Ivoirian Gouro Might be the most technically impressive though.
But if you're interested here is the version from my country, Gabon
th-cam.com/video/n1kh502sGxA/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=MADARAKYUBI
Very close to what you would see in Cameroon, Congo or Angola (obviously, as they're basically the same ethnic groups as us) These things used to scare the shit our of me and they'd sometimes beat up nosy teens haha
Wow AFRICA AMAZING PEOPLE ,AMAZING CULTURE N TRADITION i wish i could go there from PHILIPPINES
Love mama afrika❤❤❤❤morroco amazigh
Молодцы,в такую жару ,в одежде,ещё и в маске!!!..Подвижный народ!!!..Частенько просматриваю такие ролики,собираясь утром на работу,поднимаю себе настроение!!!...ПОЗИТИВ КЛАССНЫЙ!!!
Fascinated by and obsessed with the mysterious power of this authentic African dance!
Michael Jackson, James Brown, Chicago Footwork, DC beat the feet dancing and Tap all derived from this style of dance!
THis is an amazing evidence of ancient african culture !!! This is fantastic, keep it real !
This exact dance may be from the 50s but the tradition has ancient roots. Many ethnic groups and tribes throughout the sub Tropical and Savanna regions of Africa from Senegambia all the way to Zimbabwe, have similar 'masquerades' and dances. They are tied to ancient African spirituality, cults and secret societies.
Que hermoso video!!!!! Hermosas mujeres y niños bailando les mando un abrazo.....
Viva a Cultura dos Meus Ancestrais.

If you want a good dancer,come to Afrika,if you want athletes come to Afrika,best musicians in the world are Afrikans.we are the best

I love this I'm proud to be African American.
I dedicate this to my ancestors
Jessie Jackson started the whole "African American" crap. Aren't we all from Africa originally?
@@sycodad4483 let us have our culture racist white boy it's not hurting you
@@sycodad4483 look in the mirror you have not evolved cognitively, mentally ,spiritually etc etc.. grow up little dipshit. Quit being a trolling Thug on social media
Wonderful to see these original African folk dances that have been handed down for thousands of years, but now being commercialized and the dancers being Harrassed and made to look Foolish should not be allowed.
Les danses sont représentatives de chaque animal qu'elles représentent, c'est impressionnant !
COTE D'IVOIRE IVORY COAST JAJA THANKYOU NAMASTE FROM ENGLAND MANY SWEET BLESSINGS 💖🤩😘💋😘😘🤩

Any time I see one of these videos I watch it! I just love this amazing dance and music!
Эти танцы похожи на брачные танцы птиц. Какие яркие костюмы. Ритм сумасшедший. Такое впечатление что ноги двигаются отдельно от туловища👍👍👍🦃
The final boss of mardi gras.
This is art from the heart,so genuine and unafected of the modern art narcissism! I prefer to see thess performance than to see the western world most famous artist performing.Love from Sweden
Изумительно! У Карлсона пропеллер на спинки, (все таки это сказочный персонаж) а у танцоров пружины вместо ног и это явь, а не сказка! Браво!!!
I do not know how he can dance like that a single rhythm of movements is great keep on doing it .
Beautiful. INTENSE. and NO TWERKS. Now that in and of itself is HAPPY DANCE FOR ALL 🎉😗

Grew up in Malawi and this brings back memories...FYI as a kid some we're scary AF 🤣
Please, is this Malawi? This performance is like our Igala masquerade here in Nigeria
@Afro Warrior I was too little back then, we would go watch when I visited my grandparents in the village. I do remember being scared but curious at the same time.
@@unitedigalakingdomtv8432
The video isn't Malawi. But it has shown me how all Africans have the same roots. Would love to learn more about the origins dances
@@unitedigalakingdomtv8432 they are. speaking French and the dance is from Ivory Coast

"Have you forgotten that once we were brought here, we were robbed of our name, robbed of our language. We lost our religion, our culture, our god ... and many of us, by the way we act, we even lost our minds."
Que lindo,como vcs são espetaculares, sou fã do Michael e do James,mas sem exagero vcs são melhores, parabéns.
My 1 year baby loves it
Que hermoso saludos desde Perú
The drone footage and the little ones dancing...👍👍👍🌞👍👍👍
The musicians are outstanding!!! W O W
So incredible! Loved the amazing dancers, and costumes. Lovely to see all the people. Thanks for your post😃
Wow... !
இவர்களின் நடன அசைவு, கூடவே 10
வயதிற்கும் கீழ் உள்ள சிறுவர்களின் ஆட்டத்தை காணும்போது,
நம் கண்களை விரித்து ஆச்சரியப்பட வைக்கிறது.
அருமை...
நன்றி.
No disrespect intended,wanting to learn more about your culture and beautiful dance.
Is it a dance for celebration, dance for the dead ? Would love to know. Also, your dancer are very talented. Thank you for sharing this dance.
Круто ,супер! Я даже в какой-то момент представил двух президентов ,Росси и Украины выясняющих свои отношения такими танцами ! И стол переговоров был на танцполе😜🤪😝
Amazing big up Ivory Coast
Hermosos niños, y hermosas mujeres. dios les bendiga
The dancers were amazing!! However I want to give it up for the drummers. They kept these rhythms up without messing up. The dancers are able to predict the music and move accordingly without a belief that the drummer could mess up. That shows how much they work together!
Question: What are they celebrating?
I guess it’s a five and take sometimes it seems the dancer moves to the rhythm of the drummers, sometimes it seems the drummers change the beat to what the dancer is doing.
I m from ivoiry coast and it is a local dance from ethnic group "gouro " .They usualy playing to increase harvest.
The drummers beat to the dancers moves typically. They reherse certain cues. It's a show not happenstance.
Bohot hi pyaara dance hai ye africa ka im very glad in watch this dance
Cool....natural born leader! Smooth moves.
That was excellent !
j'ai la chaire de poule à voir le zaouli avec des cornes danser.il danse tellement bien que je me retrouve dans le djè du côté de sinfra.il frédonne les pas authentiques du zaouli
DJê est l'un des masques les plus puissants au pays gouro donc il ne sort pas en journée lui sort seulement que la nuit, et d'autre encore, et pourquoi à sinfra on vous appel pas comme chez nous à zuenoula exemple, djê bi ou djê lou ? Je pensais que il y a vais pas le masque gouro aussi, merci pour l'informations frère ou mr
This has got to be the coolest dance I've ever seen
Esto si es arte saludos desde colombia...
Fantastic only in Ivory Coast !
Soy mexicano y me encantan todas las danzas soy fans de todas ellas
Fascinating I must see this face to face eye to eye ear to ear person to person!

Life is rythm !!
Vous êtes géniales! Vous me charmer à travers cette dance que j’adore !
Sou do Brasil acho lindas essas danças.
Wonderful dance! Greetings from Argentina! :)
The best foot step.Dancing in the blood
Très intéressant comme festival. Merci .
This takes me back, about two hundred thousand years...
I saw a version with some techno music but I was interested in the story behind the dance, thanks for that.
Well, good luck back then, this tradition was invented just 70 years ago or so.
Смотрю ,и смотрю и кайфую.Завораживает.
Профессиональные танцоры Африки молодцы
Que sana diversión de estas gentes. Maravilloso
Chers amis ivoiriens, certains mauvais esprits ont hontes de leurs frères qui dansent... Ils aimeraient plus que tout stopper votre joie et votre union par la fête. Voyez par vous-même, au simple constat de cette montée en puissance sur les réseaux sociaux de la danse et masque gouro qui font un nombre de vue exceptionnel et reconnus bien de l'humanité par l'UNESCO, rien que ça !
Tradition profonde de l'Afrique, elle 'est une vitrine exceptionnelle face au monde entier, elle est d'une réelle utilité à ne pas négliger !!!
Que la paix règne en côte d'ivoire, beau et grand pays d'Afrique ♥️🙏
J'adore ton message. Beaucoup ne comprennent pas la richesse culturel qu'on a en Côte d'ivoire.
