Kenyan breakdancing



Uploaded by: bramvergeer
Video Description:
People in Kenya love to dance. Every tribe in Kenyan society has their own style of music and ways to dance. Apart from the many traditional styles of music and dancing in Kenyan society Western influences are more and more visible. Through MTV and the Internet people hear about salsa, rock and Western hiphop. Especially in the big cities young people make their way to clubs offering all these kinds of music to dance on.
Hiphop is very rapidly becoming on of the most popular genres of music in Kenya. Not only music but the whole of hiphop culture is being picked up by the youth. I heard about a school for breakdancing set up by kids in Buru Buru, one of the better looking suburbs at the Eastern side of Nairobi. A
few matatu busses took me and my camera to their place in the upper floor of an abandoned flat. Meet the Dashy Dance Crew on their mission to dance! Contact them via dashykrew@hotmail.com This film is made by Bram Vergeer from the Holland based InSideOut Foundation. It, together with many more film
