Wow! I’ve been binge watching these videos since yesterday. He is actually conducting the drummers and other musicians. His foot work and rhythm is one of the best so far. Wish I was there to witness this first hand.
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.
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 Colombian and on our Atlantic and Caribbean coasts we also do these traditional African dances. We call it Champeta. I love you Africa. Thank you for your gifts!
I have been watching many traditional/cultural dances from all over the world.. The Zaouli dance is my all time favorite. From the story behind it, to the technique and the amazing costume. It's absolutely mesmerizing. I sure hope the young embrace their heritage and keep this dance alive for all future generations. ❤
I've been a percussionist for 70+ years and the precision of the dancers and the percussionists is unbelievable. Each step and motion of the dancer is in exact time with the players.
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.
La chaleur africaine, la sociabilité, et la fraternité, l'accueil en Afrique. Nous on n'a jamais réclame être seul au monde , même la nature on la respect par des rythme avant de couper un bois , ou d'y faire quelques choses.on aime tous les êtres humains sans distinction. C'est pas une faiblesse.
Somewhere on RUclips there's a video of a Zaouli festival in a big village, and sure enough the kids are following the dancers around when they're not performing and trying to duplicate the moves. I'm sure that's how it starts.

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.

Incredible to watch how much the musicians and the dancer are united on higher levels. They dont need to look at each other with their eyes yet the music and the dance are completely ONE. the dancer is very respectful shows ultimate intelligence of the higher forces! I am totaly K.O. by this video.
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.

Most African drums talk, you only need a shared cultural background to understand the language of the drums. This is what scholars call speech extension. The dancers actually or most likely are communicating somehow.
But also in African music, especially when playing the drums live like that , the beat follows the dancer , the dancer doesn’t follow the beat.

Si tu es Afro Brésilienne c'est ça ton identité culturelle qu'on vous a malheureusement arraché.
C'est plus qu'une danse, c'est une culture et un mode de vie
Preserve this culture. Preserve this type of dance. 😊❤
What’s so beautiful is that Yahweh blessed every culture with something beautiful !
I could watch forever. Amazing!
I had never heard about this or seen this technique until a few days ago.
And its just amazing - true trance if there ever was something like that
Fantastic culture of Ivory Coast. The dexterity of the dancers is beyond description. This entertainment style is what West and East want to destroy in the name of religion but this is our identity. 👍👍👍👍👍
Hahahaaaa Who are those evil people who wants to destroy this dance?????

Robson Você Não De Nada Tem Muito Que Aprender Nessa Vida Mas Deixa Pra lá Talvez Eu Volte Aqui Outro Dia

Чудова техніка, дуже професійно і взагалі цікаво!
amazing video I am so happy to be able to see this! im mesmerized by the dancer and his way of being ONE with the music. Incredible to watch how much the musicians and the dancer are united on higher levels. They dont need to look at each other with their eyes yet the music and the dance are completely ONE. the dancer is very respectful shows ultimate intelligence of the higher forces! I am totaly K.O. by this video.
What’s the history behind this dance and why the hype man? Love it.
Here is a good start dear. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zaouli
Thank you 😊
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.
