    This authentic art of the highest level with no electronic frills, just raw talent of artists in perfect harmony with their rhythms, produced by homemade percussion instruments. What an experience witnessing this spectacle! You can see how African rhythms have spread all over the Caribbean, Central and South America, not to mention North America.

    I'm from the ivory coast so i'll explain. The dance is named after Djela Lou Zaouli (Djela daughter of Zaouli), the daughter of a chief. She was rumored to be the most beautiful woman of her time. That's why the masks are painted with colorful and feminine traits, as well as gazelle's horns. The gazelle is a symbol of feminine beauty. They created the mask to pay homage to her beauty.

      1. So, this "Zaouli" was a chief, and "Zaouli" was his daughter.
      So, could we call "Zaouli" a "princess"?
      2. Now, that is a _man_ doing that dance celebrating her beauty.
      Is he not a little embarrassed to be playing the part of a girl? 😒

      @@TheNoiseySpectator her full name is Djela (beautiful) Lou (daughter of) Zaouli. And no, this is not embarrassing since the creators of the danse themselves were probably men.
      Also, in Africa, women do not dance under masks. It's reserved for men.

      @@TheNoiseySpectator and about whetherto call her a princess, in western ivorian tribes, we don't have monarchies but democracy. The chief is elected among the respected members of the clan so since he isn't technically a king, I wouldn't call his daughter a princess.

    I'm a white woman from the states (married to an African performer from Zimbabwe) & I can honestly, say after living with my husband for the best (8) months of my life with him in Zim, there is no place on the planet as magical as Africa...It was soooo unbelievable & the people soooo beyond kind, when I had to return to the states in 2016, I cried hysterically all the way back. Though we've been in the states for 6 years now, not a day has gone by, I don't dream of returning & finally we are going to try to return permanently. The cultures, the animals, the beauty is astounding there. God bless Africa.

I wish I knew french so I could understand the documentary videos, they have such a hold on my attention and curiosity. I do have to say, this dancer is probably on my top 3 favorites...he’s incredibly skilled, but alluring as well...and I can’t lie about how handsome he is too😳. I wish I could see one of these dances in person.

His dedication and skill level, as well as the kind of character he takes on to perform is what I find attractive about him. He’s enigmatic so in a sense I guess I find him handsome as a whole..? It’s hard to articulate my words, I apologize if this doesn’t make much sense😅

    I might be mistaken, but I believe this dancer's name is Loh Samuel and he also dances in a purple outfit with white and purple leggings. Whatever the case, and whoever either dancer is, he is the best I have seen at this kind of dance, in these videos. He can appear to be sliding/moon walking, in any direction he wants, with either or both feet, with the really high speed bouncing off the front of his feet. Simply amazing.

      The mask wearer is usually a high ranking member of the secret society and he is believed to be channeling the power of the mask. He'd therefore need a sort of assistant to ensure his outfit is in place as he dances and also to remove any hazards that could disturb the dance.
