Beyonce brings pantsula to the world...

Ladies and gentlemen... Beyonce brings pantsula to the world...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBmMU_iwe6U

It is in the beginning part.  The two guys dancing with her in the front are actually Mozambicans (who are heavily influenced by South African music and culture) who have their own pantsula/kwaito(that's the music) dance group.  She saw them on YouTube and asked them to come help choreograph her new video and then actually put them in it.  Way to go Beyonce.  Very cool, very classy.

Kwaito music and the pantsula dance come from the townships and is pretty much what we listen to and do here.  Kwaito is house music with African rhythms behind it and pantsula is... well... just watch the video... it's good stuff.  Enjoy!
