World Dance Videos 2020

We're getting close to the end of 2020, and I've been featuring quite a lot of dance videos this year. So, I thought I'd do one final dance post before the end of the year! This one features several dances from around the world. :)

 

Iranian Dance 2 by Quick Style (Norway/Iran)

First is up is an Iranian dance by the dance group Quick Style. I've actually has this video saved on my "Watch later" playlist on YouTube for a while, but hadn't got round to watching it lol.

Quick Style is a hip hop dance crew from Oslo, Norway. They won Norway's Got Talent in 2009 and now travel the world teaching and performing.

I belly dance, so like Midde Eastern dances. I think it's cool to see a male dance from Iran. I think it's improvisation mostly. The video was posted in October last year.

Kaliyon Ka Chaman dance by LiveToDance With Sonali (India)

Here is a brand-new dance by Sonali Bhaduria of LiveToDance With Sonali. It's a choreography to Kaliyon Ka Chaman which is one my favourite Hindi songs! :)

Kaliyon Ka Chaman came out in 2002 and is based on the song Thoda Resham Laghta Hai from the Bollywood film Jyoti (1981). The original version was sung by famous playback singer Lata Mangeshkar. American singer Truth Hurts also sampled the song for her single Addictive, without getting permission and her record label was subsequently sued! 

The 2002 version was remixed by Indian music director Harry Anand and featured on the Universal India album. A slightly different version of Kaliyon Ka Chaman also appears on the 2003 DJ Doll remix album. 

The video was uploaded yesterday. Printika Kumari dances with Sonali.

25th Anniversary of Mariah Carey's Butterfly Album

My favourite singer Mariah Carey recently released a 25th anniversary edition of her 6th studio album Butterfly. The original album was released on 16th September 1997 and featured songs such as her hit single Honey, The Roof and My All. It was actually the first album I ever bought (on cassette tape, lol) and I still consider it one of my fave MC albums. :) Butterfly was the first album that Mariah had more control over and it is R'n'B, rather than the pop (and later pop/R'n'B) of her previous releases. It also has pop and hip hop influences.  The expanded edition contain 8 extra tracks (the original standard edition has 12)- a duet version of Whenever You Call with Brian McKnight , a new take on The Roof featuring Brandy , live versions of Butterfly and My All, acapella versions of Fourth of July and Outside, an Amorphous Anniversary Club Mix of Butterfly (with DJ Amorphous ) and a remix of Honey (Another Taste of Honey David Morales Mix). I had previously heard the

Debut XG Mini Album

Japanese girl group XG have released their 1st mini album. It's called NEW DNA and was released on 27th September. XG (whose name is short for Xtraordinary Girls) made their debut in March last year and have brought out 7 singles so far- Tippy Toes, MASCARA, LEFT RIGHT/SHOOTING STAR double single), GVRL GANG , TGIF, NEW DANCE and PUPPET SHOW. The first 3 songs (or 4 including the double single) aren't on the mini album. The concept behind NEW DNA is that of being a "new species" free from conventions and limitations .  Although the group is Japanese, their creation was inspired by Korean music and they are based in South Korea. They have released songs in English so far and have been described as a global group and "X-pop". NEW DNA consists of 6 tracks- HESONO, X-GENE, GVRL GANG, TGIF, NEW DANCE and PUPPET SHOW. It is an R'n'B/pop mini album with influences from other genres, such as K-pop, dance and hip hop. My favourite song is PUPPET SHOW. I al
