African Dance Videos

It's been a while since I've done a dance post, so today I'm sharing a couple of videos featuring African dances. :)

 

Eugy- Forever- Afro Dancehall Choreography by Meka Oku and Neika OG

First up in an Afro dancehall choreo by Meka Oku and Neika OG. Meka is a Nigerian born dancer who teaches and performs Afro Dance. His dance style is inspired by AfroHouse, hip-hop and dancehall. Neika OG is a dancer from America.

Meka and Neika are dancing to the song Forever by Ghanian British singer and rapper Eugy. The video was uploaded in January last year.

A- Z African Dance Moves 2020

I also thought I'd share this video from FireUp Dance which showcases an A-Z of African dance moves. It's from 2020 (uploaded in May) but I think there are still dances using them!

Dance moves include Azonto (Ghana), Dingi dingi (Uganda), Odi (Kenya) Legwork (Nigeria), Poco (Nigeria) and Vosho (South Africa). The girls make it look easy! :)

 


FireUp Dance runs AfroSpice and female dancehall classes in Toronto, Canada. For more info check out their YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/FireUpDance/

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 D

New Unexpected

We're finally getting the new season of the reality TV series Unexpected in the UK! Season 3 was shown in the US last summer , and I wondered when we'd get it here. I don't have any online streaming services so thought I'd just watch clips on YouTube, lol. However it's now starting here in early March. Similar to the popular MTV franchise Teen Mom , Unexpected focuses on teen parents. The first series featured 3 couples expecting babies- Lily Bennett and her boyfriend James Kennedy who have daughter Aaliyah, now 2;  Mckayla Adkins and partner Caelan Morrison who have son Timothy, also known as Timmy (and now daughter Gracelynn , born in January 2019), and  Lexus Scheller and boyfriend Shayden Massey who have daughter Scarlett. Season 2 saw the departure of Lilly and the addition of 3 new pregnant girls and their partners- Laura Barron and her boyfriend (now husband) Tylor Stawmyor who have son Lucas (and have since had another baby , a 2nd son, who is named Leo),
