CAMEROONPRIDE: i was just asking ohhhh no offense intended ..anyway i understand almost all the foreign songs that i listen ..i usually translate the lyrics.

hmmmm i wonder how u pple live without watching hollywood movies

damn french puppets sucks

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.

Sybellah:

Please stop this! Mapouka is a traditional dance from the Alladjan people from Jackeville, South Cote d'Ivoire.
People just made the dance dance obscene, what u see often on youtube is the perv version (mapouka dedja)

congolese, gabonese, cameroonians, ivorians dance are alike

where did this dance originate from?

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.

don't worry for us they translate them for Cameroonians

Sybellah:

the whining of their waist

CAMEROONPRIDE: don't worry for us they translate them for Cameroonians

like subtitles

what movies do u guys watch over there? french movies

onila:

the whining of their waist

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

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.

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.
