The performance is not only in the feet... The heat is intense outside and the costume is heavy and hot under, with almost no breathing holes in the mask... Ultimate fitness...
VENTURA, CALIFORNIA-"My former doctor told me to do this man's dance and it would strengthen my legs and ease my pain. Now I need a hip replacement next month."
This dude is doing the "Harlem shuffle" and the "running man"..... daaaamn... apparently everything has already been done...we're just trying to do them better
Konan947 or anyone else who knows: Would you have a bit of background information on why these mask dances take place? I suppose this is not just for entertainment, but telling certain stories. What are those stories behind like? Also, is this a religious or social ritual of sorts? What's the purpose of this?
www.bibata-arts-africains.com/en/african-mask/97-guro-zaouli-mask-of-ivory-coast.html actually provides some background information on this. Anybody knows more?
Le Zahouli ici s'écrit avec un "H". le Zaouli sans "H" est un autre masque du même peuple Gouro! Que celui qui a mis la vidéo en ligne veuille bien corriger.
