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!

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.

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.

One can not feel anything but happy when watching these dancers. A cure for the blues....happiness is contagious.

My African people. The diversity in our cultures! Love from Kenya.

Everyone needs a hype man like homie in the colorful clothes.

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'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.

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 am a berber from north africa (Algeria) and i love african traditions..respect brotherhood

This makes me so joyful! The dance is beautiful. Culture, art and religion are such an amazing thing when done peacefully. All love from Brazil! 🇧🇷

It's been a great chance for me to be born GOURO. I'm so proud of my heritage❤️❤️

The drum and dancer are like precisely in sync, i cant really explain it.

Gud luck trying this one Tiktokers🙄

I love how it’s not just the Zauli dancer but also the band behind him.. making it one complete package!!

Это нечто невероятное! Восхищаюсь и испытываю большое уважение к африканской культуре!

I'm African American and I love the African blood running in my veins. Mother Africa is always in my heart.

I'm so impressed with the whole crew! The drummers are also very talented. I love it

His footwork is dead-on synchronized with the musicians and it’s high frequency rhythms: excellent!

I thank you for the beautiful video the beautiful young man the music made me so happy it allowed me to see my culture at 82 years old I thank you for the beautiful video piece of love it truly touches my heart again I say thank you

Am Jamaican here but my blood is from Africa one love 💓

Looking at those little boys watching him dance, and I was thinking, they must be in awe and want to grow up to be just like him.

Vraiment merveilleux je suis Gabonaise vive l'Afrique c'est est beaux vive notre spiritualité africaine 👍💖💋

I can come back to this one in particular over and over. The beat, the tempo, the dance, just one of my absolute favorite ones.

Oh Dam!!! Im here AGAIN!!!! I JUST CANT GET ENOUGH OF THIS MAN, THE DANCE AND THE DRUMS!!!

The men on the drums aint no joke either

И умиляет и восхищает и устрашает одновременно этот Заули. На ночь лучше не смотреть.

SEGUIR EL RITMO DE LOS TAMBORES PARECIERA IMPOSIBLE PERO ESTE HOMBRE LO SIGUE A LA PERFECCIÓN

As a drummer I love the groove of African drums and the origins and culture of the dancing

Our culture is pride. Keep it alive. Love from India..

I am PK from India, I love Africans dancing skills. May God bless all Africans.

My Aunt and Uncle were with the US State Department, and we're stationed in the Ivory Coast for a bit. They brought back one of these masks they purchased as a gift for my family. Sadly, they couldn't convey the awesomeness of the dances, so I am so glad to find these videos, years later.

one of the best things I've ever seen in my life

Now y'all know where James brown and Michael Jackson came from🥰

Increíble cómo danzan. Felicitaciones!!!! Son únicos!!!!!! 💜💜💜💜😘😘

Fière d’être Ivoirienne ! Notre culture est riche !

ya no hay nada que decir es un maestro y señor del arte , aparte del espectaculo fino que nos otorga se merece un gran aplauso , es el amo de la danza , aqui en sudamerica los admiramos mucho ,,, desde peru un gran saludo a este digno pueblo, que si hace cultura...

Makes me so proud to be Ivorian when I watch this

Fantastic both dancing and drumming. Great rhythm at, as best I could tell, an 8 count at between 2 and 3 seconds. Difficult to discern, but fast and consistent. I could get hooked on this.

Какая красота !!!Здоровья и счастья Вам ребята!!!!👍👍♥️

Part of my ethnicity comes from Africa. But my heart swells with PRIDE to see all the ways people of every culture express so beautifully their history.

He must be a legendary dancer in his village. Imagine doing a dance off with this guy.

This dancer is totally amazing! African dancer does the most difficult dance moves I've ever seen! So impressive!

Dammmnn!!!! This dance is just unbelievablely incredible....wooow. ❤ from Michigan

As a Zulu I’m loving the foot work and drums

I have never seen anything like this, this is beautiful..... And I just love how the guy is just kinda in sync with the drums.... It's amazing ❤️.... Much love, all the way from South Africa 💕💋

Me encanta el ritmo de esta música africana con el sonido de sus tambores ❤

Самая мощная и неубиваемая подвеска 💪💪💪👏👏👏оригинально красиво и на это можно смотреть вечно 👍👍👍здоровья этому супер танцору) его ноги это всё что ему нужно для счастья 👏👏👏Браво

Quarantine brought me here...I’m in love with African dance ...love from 🇰🇪 Kenya...I can feel the energy

Everytime I watched these type of videos, still always in awe! Never tire of it. Soooo 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

Eso se yama cultura y tradiciones de los pueblos y cuesta mucho años de trabajo para lograr que sean reconocidos por sus pueblos. Que viva la cultura mundial y todos los que la representan. Muy bella está tradicional forma de baile. Bueno el vídeo.

Спасибо за показ вашего видео!!! Гениально!!! Восхитительно!!! Браво, Мастер!🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁💕👍👍👍👍👍👍🇷🇺

This is the most incredible dance I have ever seen in my life!

The guy is an athlete, very impressive dance and the drums mix amazing

He’s building up energy..almost as if he’s receiving vibration deep within the core of his soul to move like that

I love this dance style. It's so mesmerizing. I tried it and almost broke all of my toes. The moon walk has nothing on this. Gliding across sand

J'adore cette danse ivoirien depuis le Cameroun 🇨🇲

I don't like dancing........except this. There's just so much culture and history in this dance. I would be honored to witness this firsthand. It would be a cherished memory for sure.

Amazing. It must be an absolute privilege to see this in person. 👍👍

These dances are just spectacular. Mesmerizing movement with on sync drumming. It's amazing.

I absolutely love this. This takes great skill and concentration.

Once upon we welcomed someone on our shores with all this rich culture and the outcome were decades of bloodshed and suffering...that still chills my nerves to this moment ... Am happy to see those kids watching.

I have watched three African dance videos so far today and am in love with this dance. It's amazing!

Amazing, hope this tradition never dies. Too much from the past has disappeared

I can’t stop watching these videos, it’s to the point I’ve shared with all of my close friends about the zaouli dancers. Their craft is just so extraordinary and I love to see it so much. 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.

This is why we have the internet, show us your culture it is brilliant! Thank you for sharing!

Show ! Impressionante a resistência para executar a dança ! Receba meus aplausos !

Does anybody see how big the brother is from the rest of the people but I love the Dance hands down

My son has African bloodline from his father he is from Tanzania.. I love culture I'm also aboriginal my son has strong cultural root which I have been bless with n himself

I love this sort of dancing, along with the costume and musicians/backing crew. I just wish it was safe to travel over there and see it in person.

So proud of my culture 😤! I’m a hip hop dancer, and i can recognize some steps and footworks were inspired by this kind of dancing. I’ll be in this area in February and I hope I’ll have the oppportunity to dan e with them 🤞🏽🙏🏽

Menn I'm not from here, but I so much love this dance, I wish I could do the moves, they be so cool 💗💗

OMG!!! Such amazing footwork! I wouldn't have believed this kind of movement was possible to achieve with the human body, if I hadn't seen it for myself. It's a God given skill! 🙏😂🙏

Preserve this culture. Preserve this type of dance. 😊❤

Oh my gosh! I love this dance! Zaouli dance is absolutely fantastic

This is beautiful, I want to be there...

Zaouli dances, one of the amazing world's activities, salute for their hard work and practice... it's great to see, god bless you all.

I've never seen anything like this, but from my first impression, I have nothing more than Love it! What a wonder!

Top talent. No pretentious. And simple hard trained dancers. ❤😊.

Greetings from Colombia, in my country this dance remains today as a music called "champeta", orginal from slaves that were brouthg to america (latinamerica) by spain

this isn't just dancing...its also art

What wonderful music, the purest form of dance and music. Such unadulterated joy

Смотрю из России.. Меня эти танцы завораживают.

Beautiful piece. 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.

Fantastic complex rhythms. The dancing is so absolutely syncopated; it’s unreal! Amazing xXx

Está muy bonito saludos desde la ciudad de México

The continued BRILLIANCE of our PEOPLE!!! I love them!

Always astounding. I've probably watched all these dancers on KZfaq, but can never seem to get enough.

Similar to Igbo traditional music from Enugu. West Africa is the capital/ originators of rhythmic steps and dancing. Our ancestors took it to the new world! Igbos were even rapping traditionally especially when they gave eulogy at burials! Good work.

INCREDIBLE self control. SO great to see cultural heritage not being lost.

The rhythm in this dance is unbelievable. Can't stop watching!

Moon walk is just child's play 😂😂😂.

I'm Braziliam This is very beautiful ! I had never seen anything like it! (Isso é muito lindo! Eu nunca tinha visto nada igual!)

A drum and bass/techno session with acoustic instruments. Awesome 👌

I could watch this all day, I really love this type of tribal dance! I’m part Arabic, maybe that’s why!

Великолепный танец. Спасибо интернету, что мы можем увидеть культуру других народов

Greetings from Germany They say even Europeans have their roots in Africa... When I compare this guy's dance moves to mine..... no way!!😂😂

Как хорошо,что так разнообразен мир!

Raw and pure! Great talent! Love ya Africa!!! ❤
