Ghana’s Azonto Dance is gradually filtering into every corner of world music.
The dance moves have gotten some spotlight in D’Banj’s official video for his ‘Oliver Twist’ hit song, which featured cameo appearances by Eddie Kadi, Sneakbo, Big Seun and Kanye West and directed by Sesan.
Sources said the video was leaked as it was yet to be officially released.
Dancers in the video borrowed a few steps from Azonto while a popular UK Azonto dancer, whose Azonto video garnered attention on YouTube recently, also made his usual Azonto moves in the video.
There are currently divided opinions on whether the video is of good quality or not.
While some described it as “whack,” others said it was another excellent job from for D’Banj.
“Waited so long for this video and I am so disappointed, the best bit was when the white man came in and started doing the Azonto. Though it would have more reference to his Afrobeats background, to be honest I would prefer to watch one of the Oliver Twist cameo videos.”
“This video is far below my expectation. So full of yourself and all you did was just a big f*** up. I thought with the entire stunt about people posting their videos for Oliver Twist, it was going to be impressive, but sorry am not impressed and what was that stunt Kanye was pulling feeling fly,” were some of the comments about the video on YouTube. Others also asked why Don Jazzy was not in the video.
