CAMEROONPRIDE: ... Mapouka is from Congo ..anyway i have to verify this you might be true No Mapouka has nothing to do with congo, it's an Ivorian traditional dance, the first group who made it known was nigui saff kdance. Coupe Decale rythms and often dances is the one which has congolese influence. Mapouka is indigenous to Cote d'Ivoire. |
Re: Ivory Coast Got Some Good Music by onila(f): 5:06pm On Sep 05, 2012 |
Sybellah: congolese, gabonese, cameroonians, ivorians dance are alike where did this dance originate from? |
Re: Ivory Coast Got Some Good Music by Nobody: 5:08pm On Sep 05, 2012 |
onila: What dance Oni? Many of the coupe decale dances have some congolese influence, but Mapouka is not coupe decale, the style of music which goes with it is called youssoumba, and is indigenous to Jacqueville. |
Re: Ivory Coast Got Some Good Music by Nobody: 5:08pm On Sep 05, 2012 |
onila:don't worry for us they translate them for Cameroonians |
Re: Ivory Coast Got Some Good Music by onila(f): 5:11pm On Sep 05, 2012 |
Sybellah: the whining of their waist |
Re: Ivory Coast Got Some Good Music by onila(f): 5:12pm On Sep 05, 2012 |
CAMEROONPRIDE: don't worry for us they translate them for Cameroonians like subtitles what movies do u guys watch over there? french movies |
Re: Ivory Coast Got Some Good Music by Nobody: 5:15pm On Sep 05, 2012 |
onila: I don't know how to explain this, but they don't whine the same, the moves are different, even now when u see coupe decale style, tho it has congolese influence it still looks different. Congolese use their waist a lot, and Ivorian usually not as much as them and they do more foot work. Mapouka Nigui Saff https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TERT6LCzEGw |
Re: Ivory Coast Got Some Good Music by Nobody: 5:17pm On Sep 05, 2012 |
onila:nope ..you probably never heard about VF or FV ...there sis a french version for every Hollywood movies |
Re: Ivory Coast Got Some Good Music by onila(f): 5:22pm On Sep 05, 2012 |
Sybellah: just lil different beats, not really the same style but its almost the same dance steps n beats how come no anglophone country can dance like them I think it originated from congo-then cameroon, gabon n ivory coast copied it from them |
Re: Ivory Coast Got Some Good Music by Nobody: 5:25pm On Sep 05, 2012 |
onila:Cameroon first |
Re: Ivory Coast Got Some Good Music by onila(f): 5:27pm On Sep 05, 2012 |
CAMEROONPRIDE: Cameroon first na ya all copied from congo |
Re: Ivory Coast Got Some Good Music by Nobody: 5:31pm On Sep 05, 2012 |
[quote author=onila] na ya all copied from congo[/quote Cameroonian never copy ..we are too creative for that we are the only country on this continent which have no influence from another african country in our things(music/food/attire/etc) we are unique and dominant .people copy us. |
Re: Ivory Coast Got Some Good Music by Nobody: 5:32pm On Sep 05, 2012 |
onila: I am telling you it's not now lool, Mapouka is from the Alladjan, south east jacqueville, they made this dance popular aroud 1997-1999. anyways u guys should research on it i gave you the information so u can take it or leave it ooh umh Mapouka does not look like NDombolo or Makossa, U have to be used to it to tell. There are many more traditional mapouka videos online so if you want u can check them out. South Ivory Coast people use their ass like that to dance, why other don't, well i don't know or maybe some of their ethnic groups do but u re not aware of it. |
Re: Ivory Coast Got Some Good Music by Nobody: 5:36pm On Sep 05, 2012 |
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mapouka Mapouka, also known under the name of Macouka, is a traditional dance from the south-east of the Ivory Coast in the area of Dabou, sometimes carried out during religious ceremonies. It is also known as, "La danse du fessier" or "the danse of the behind (buttocks)". This dance has daring choreography that can be very sexually suggestive. The dances mostly involve women shaking their buttocks (erotic) sideways vigorously, facing away from their audience. In the years 1980, artists of the Ivory Coast tried without much success to popularize it. One of the most well known groups is Tueuses de Mapouka. There are two forms of the dance, the original and the modern. The modern is danced mostly by young people and is considered more obscene and improper by some due to its suggestive nature. In 1998, the government of the Ivory Coast decided to prohibit its performance in public. It is, paradoxically, following this prohibition that the dance now enjoys a very fast-growing global following, especially in the sub-Saharan countries and western nations with large Francophone communities. |
Re: Ivory Coast Got Some Good Music by onila(f): 5:41pm On Sep 05, 2012 |
Sybellah: so how comes its francophone countries that dance like that u guys copied from each other with congolese who have the most successful music industry compared to the cameroonians and ivory coast |
Re: Ivory Coast Got Some Good Music by Nobody: 5:44pm On Sep 05, 2012 |
