Will Kenya Catch The Azonto Dance Fever?

The dance style may have originated early in the 2000s in Ghana, but the Azonto dance is only taking root across the globe now, with the recent release of the both the Azonto remix by DJ Black of Ghana’s Joy FM as well as the song by Fuse ODG which features Tiffany.

The Azonto dance has been featured in a wide commercial array of lyrics and videos such Yenko Nkoaa by Eduwoji and Wadi Misika by the Vybe Squad but was most successfully made viral by Ghana’s football legend Asamoah Gyan who used to Azonto dance during celebrations of Ghana Black Star wins.

The dance became so famous from late last December, spreading as wide as Australia and New Zealand and can we finally say that it will take root in Kenya? The Fuse ODG version is already increasingly getting airplay on Kenyan radio stations and it is certainly only a matter of time before it breaks into the entertainment scene.
