Sweet sweet Fanta Diallo
Ouh, ouh, Fanta Diallo

Fanta walking on the rainbow now!
Fanta shivering in moon light waves
Fanta hugging me on the mountain top
Fanta kissing me on the burning rocks

One day, one day, Fanta ,melt away
Under the sun

Over and over I guess
She melt away under the sun
Over and over again I guess
She melt away under the sun

I keep on wondering
Where she's gone
Where she's gone, gone, gone
I keep on wondering everyday
I keep on wonderi

Kotazo dance craze from DR Congo

Tagged:  •    •    •    •    •    •    •  

From guest blogger - Dominique

The Kotazo craze is sweeping the Democratic Republic of Congo. It's mixed with coupe decale (from Ivory Coast) but people from Kinshasa have created their own dance. It's kind of a reaction against coupe decale and traditional congolese dances described as too "quiet". So like in Coupe decale, people get crazy dancing on kotazo, mixing some capoeira dances, simulating fights. It's simple, you do what you can do ;) It's more aggressive than other Congolese dances.

African music meets China - Assiko and coupe decale

Africa meet China.
African music meet Chinese. :-D

A couple of years ago, a friend showed me a video of a Chinese man singing Makossa songs. Zhen Ping Liu, popularly known as Liu de Karmer to his fans was the first ever and lone Chinese Makossa singer.
The name of the song is Assiko chinois, pretty good :-). Some friends joked that he probably wasn't him singing the song and someone else was doing voice over, but who really does that these days?
