A national dance craze in Ivory Coast has spawned a black market in treatments claiming to increase one's bottom size.

The dance in question has been inspired by DJ Mix and DJ Eloh's hit song Bobaraba, which means "big bottom" in the local Djoula language.

This is the song in question. You guys should see how Ivorian ladies dance this song at the Ivorian clubs. Believe me you''ll appreciate African women and their endowment. I already respect the women.

This is "mapouka" an erotic dance that is making wave in Ivory coast, started in late 90's with the song "Gaou" by magic system. Thay have now taken it to the extreme. It has gone a step forward from being an erotic dance to a pornographic dance.

this isn't mapouka... it's really ndombolo. and there's nothing new about it.

this story is pretty stupid, really. it was obviously written for the consumption of white people.

Sorry but it's not Papouka.

I've got a Ghanaian friend and everytime we meet his female friends, they keep impressing me. It's like they improve their assets everyday.

You mean Makossa?... Well there had always been a thin line between Makossa and Mapouka. Mapouka being the Ivorian version of makossa but contains more nudity.

Makossa is the Cameroonian national dance.Ndombolo is from congo and the Ivorians have the tendency of copying people's music.they are dancing Ndombolo and not mapouka. " what is the traditional dance of Ivory Coast?.MOST OF THEIR MUSIC IS COPIED FROM CONGO AND CAMEROUN
