@old.africa_: Zaouli or Zawli is a traditional dance of the Guro people (who speak the Guro language) of central Ivory Coast. The Zaouli mask, used in the dance, was created in the 1950s, reportedly inspired by a girl named "Djela Lou Zaouli" (meaning "Zaouli, daughter of Djela"). Therefore, the mask symbolizes the cycle of love and life, and is also a homage to feminine beauty. The Zaouli is a dance of rejoicing in which each participant must show great skill. He must reveal his talent in all its diversity, originally and quickly in the execution of steps and dance figures. The difficulty of the dancer is the fact that he has no right to repeat the same step. Each Gouro village has its local Zaouli dancer, who performs during funerals or parties. #fyp #africa #viral_video #mask #tiktokafrique🇹🇬🇨🇩🇨🇮🇧🇯🇬🇦🇨🇲🇬🇦 #cotedivoire🇨🇮 #zaouli #tiktokamerica🇺🇸 #blackculture #africantiktok #africanculture #traditional #dance #vintage #foryoupage #blackpeople #ancienthistory #africantradition #ritual #tiktokcotedivoire🇨🇮
