Azonto! It's the new dance all over Ghana and according to this BBC report, is becoming popular all over the world!
Azonto developed from a dance called "Apaa" that was done to represent the occupations of the people doing the dance. From this origin, it developed into a popular dance with high school kids and has become more popular due to it's use in music videos by Ghanaian artists such as E.L. and Sarkodie. So, that's the brief history on Azonto!
Here are some music videos for you to check out. Most of these songs have been playing everywhere in Ghana that I've been and I'm definitely planning on incorporating them into my music library! The last video is also a how-to for those interested in learning how to do the dance!
ENJOY!
