    The Azonto dance has a lot of moves that can be attributed to some of our traditional dance moves. The fundamental move is truly from kpanlogo and even the kind of music that goes with it but there's Adowa and kete which are ...

    he created it, if it was Der koraa it was not call Azonto, as u stated, it was kpanlogo not Azonto. Sark gave berf to Azonto an can boast of it anywhere he likes. YOU ARE THE ONE HU CAN'T FULL US OK.
    SARK IS DE AZONTO PAPA.

  • Twum Barimah 11 years ago

    I am about 60yrs now and I have not heard Azonto anywhere in Ghana. I only heard it from Sarkodie's fine song.If he formed or created it, why are some of you so bitter and misgiving?

    AZONTO TOO BE SOMETHING U FOR FIGHT OVER? NONSENSE

  • joe pinto 11 years ago

    talk some and say it louder,some on this forum are already making it about tribe, next thing you see it is NDC vs NPP, when there are better things to fight over like how to eradicate malaria

  • ASEM BI NTI 11 years ago

    TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT, SARK made azonto what it is today. better remove your tribalistic lenses and see sense and reasoning.

  • joe pinto 11 years ago

    what has tribe got to do with anything? can you please enlighten us wise one

  • Resplendent 11 years ago

    Sarkodie didn't make azonto what it is today. The credit of the azonto popularity across the world should definitely be given to FUSE ODG and Tiffany.

  • macho 11 years ago

  • bro % 11 years ago

    OR WHY NOT SAY AZONTO CREATED SARK.
    he is good but not to that extend. as the writer rightly said he cant even dance the azonto

  • kkofosu 11 years ago

    he said he created the song "azonto" and other artiste like whizkid are taking it to the next level. He was also emphatic that the dance is from the streets....what's all this katzenjammer?

  • King Marc 11 years ago

    I wonder why people will fuss over such a useless and nonsensical dance movement which really exhibits the folly of Africans.There is nothing special about this Azonto dance.Now watch most commercials on TV and you will under ...

    first of all sarkodie never said he created azonto, but rather said he was fortunate to be part of the movement. it very clear that the writer is a sarkodie hater. Secondly the writer doesn't even know the genesis of azonto, ...
