African dance makes new inroads through popular styles like Shaku Shaku, Gwara Gwara, Azonto and Black is King, thanks to performers such as Tanzanian-born Petit Afro who is based in Europe, 22-year old Nigerian Papi Ojo, Ghana's Dancegod Lloyd, and others.
Petit, who lives in Spain and the Netherlands, has a passion for afro dance choreography. He spoke to The EastAfrican's Beatrice Materu on a recent trip back to his home country.
