This makossa, Ndombolo, mapouka stuff, is really getting me confused. What is really the difference between them? Except that mapouka dance contains more nudity. I also know of kwasa kwasa, from Niger republic, but it said in some quarters that it originates from Cameroun. Are these names the music, the dance or both combined?

What about Zoblazo, isn't it an Ivorian dance?

There's also Coupe Decale which was inspired by the late Doug Saga.

Ivorian and its just a song by mewei

Coupe Decale is a combination of Makosa and Ndombolo and it started in Cameroun back in the 80's by nduleur. most their songs are Doaula , Lingala and little french. Coupe Decale is not original. The only original music from Ivory Coast is Mapouka

Makossa is the national dance of Cameroun
Ndombolo is from Congo Khinshasha
Mapouka is from Ivory Coast
Kwasa kwasa originated from Congo by late pepe kale. you dance using your hands only. while makossa and ndombolo is your belly and behind

Then this link from the BBC must be incorrect.

"Zoblazo is the name of the cosmopolitan dance music style from Abidjan".

so they you will call kwasa kwasa a dance too ?. we are talking about the original dance of Ivory coast and not what mewei sang. its just like Coupe Decale

How come nobody is talking about GALALA which is from AJ city in Lagos-Nigeria and popularised by Daddy Shokey?
