Показать описание
This song is about forgiveness!
The rhythm-
This acoustic song is based on Akpesse-Bobobo rhythm played by Ewe people in the Region des Plateaux in Togo.
The Bobobo was developed by Francis Kojo Nuatro. He is thought to have been an ex-police officer who organized a dance group in the middle to late 1940s.
The dance has its roots from Wusuta and in the 'Highlife' popular music across West African countries. Bobobo gained national recognition in the 1950s and 1960s because of its use at political rallies and the novelty of its dance formations and movements. It is generally performed at social occasions. This is a social dance with a great deal of room for free expression so it became popular quickly.
In general, the men sing and dance in the center while the women dance in a ring around them. There are 'slow' and 'fast' versions of Bobobo. The slow one is called Akpesse and the fast one is termed to be Bobobo.
