oluemmakay: Having done a critical analysis of d dancing steps and the body movements of popular dance known as Azonto. I came to a conclusion that the dance is an inspiration from Hell because the body movement can be compare to a person burning inside fire. Please, i dont say i saw a revelation.
NB: Pls, study the dance very well b4 u comment. This may implies that d regular dancers are only doing rehersal. In your own interest, FLEE from Azonto.
You are paranoid.

fratochi: . My brother, if you are a good student of the history of african traditions, you will observe that most if not all of them are products of wickedness, emanating from the idol worship of one god or goddess, so when you say this song was from this traditional or that tradition you also make efforts to trace the roots/source of the said tradition because indeed 'EVERYTHING THING HAS A SOURCE', God help us!

yea,well, the igbo,hausa,yoruba and other traditional languages were used by our ancestors to worship those wicked and evil gods. Thats still the same language we use to worship God! Our dear OP didnt find that evil. We still use those dance movement in church,to give glory to God. OP
My brother,it is a matter of your heart. What does your heart feel when you perform any of these dance movements?

Just about a week ago, I happen to see the video clip in a friend laptop. I have since been querying my mind about the word AZONTO itself. How did the artistes come about the name? The name is not what anybody can just arrive at. Has anybody linked the word to any language?
I HAVE CONCLUDED IN MY MIND SINCE THEN THAT THE NAME "azonto" MUST BE A DEMON NAME! With this thread I cant agree less.

Azonto
Azonto is a dance and a music genre originating from
Ghana. Azonto as a dance had been in existence in some
Ghanaian communities. It was popularized in 2010 when
Asamoah Gyan in the 2010 FIFA World Cup performed the
dance during his goal celebrations and subsequently when
he played for his then soccer club Sunderland A.F.C. [1]
Many Ghanaian artistes have embraced the dance and
arranged their beats to suit the dance's moves [2] and have
also included the term "Azonto" in lines of their lyrics. This
has given rise to Azonto as a music genre in Ghana.
The dance incorporates complex co-ordinates body
movement and non-verbal communication in a rhythmic
fashion in very few one-two timed steps. Just like most
African dances, knee bending and hip movements are
rudiments to dancing it. The dance has effectively evolved
from a few rudimentary moves to embrace depictions of
ironing,washing, driving, boxing, grooming, praying,
swimming, and others.
Generally, the dance reflects the creativity and sense of
humour of the Ghanaian people. The dance, which is
usually performed with an accompanying smile, evolved
from the combination of several local dance moves that
originated from Ghana during the early 2000s. The dance
has evolved with the fast pace dance culture of modern
West Africa. Before the dance became famous, youth in
senior high schools of Ghana had a similar but different
way of doing the dance. A modification of that is what we
see today. It involved a similar movement of the feet,
hands, and hips and, at the end of every move, a gun shot
was mimicked with the hand and, if possible, the mouth.
History
This section requires expansion. (January 2013)
The dance was first called "Apaa" (which means work in the
Ga Ghanaian language) by the people of Bukom.[3] Hence
the dance is known to have moves depicting
ironing,washing and other vigourous and vigourous
moves. However,the term 'azonto' (a name which was
given to the dance by the people of Tema) was popularly
used by students of The Accra Academy to refer to life and
later became accepted by the larger population as the name
for the dance.[citation needed] The dance now known as
Azonto was later observed in an evolved form among
'street communities' in Agona Abodom, Abossey Okai,
Takoradi and certain suburbs of Accra (namely Korle-
Gonno, La and Chorkor), in pubs, night clubs, & dance
battles. Perhaps because of its apparent use of strength and
vigor, and preference of the then popular and more
sophisticated " crip walk",tip toes,dead body and "break
dance" known in Ghana as 'cracking' in High Schools, the
dance was seen as being less refined than alternate styles.
