INFO ON TOFO TOFO, THE AFRICAN DANCERS WHO INSPIRED BEYONCE’S ‘RUN THE WORLD’ CHOREOGRAPHY!


How many of us wondered who those two guys were that were footworkin’ with Beyonce in the first dance sequence of her video?? They are two of the three members of a Mozambican kwaito dance group called Tofo Tofo.

Beyonce’s choreographer, Frank Gaston, Jr. sat down with MTV News and shared how they helped shape the moves in Beyonce’s “Run The World (Girls)” video:

“We had seen something on YouTube; we had seen these three guys from Africa, this Mozambique African dance troupe … we were like, ‘Wow, this is an amazing movement.’ [...] And that movement has always been in the back of our head for the last year. From there, we talked about a lot of concepts.”

We say, ‘Share the light, you sparkle brighter,’ and we share our light with a lot of new, creative people. I feel like we really nailed it and, again, my hats off to the Tofo Tofo guys [from Africa], ’cause none of us could imitate that. We had to bring them around to learn that [move], which is really, really interesting. They had such a great vocabulary of movement.”

“Those two dancers not only helped shape the moves in the video, but also moved Beyoncé. That was probably one of the most beautiful experiences for Beyoncé. They were so humbled. [...] I’m pretty sure we’ll see them again. It was magical.” [Read more]

According to Gaston, it took about two months to track down the dancers due to them living in remote areas in their home country of Mozambique. Beyonce wanted them to be a part of her video so bad that they had to get the Embassy’s help to find them! What a blessing!

Check out the YouTube clip below where the trio laid down some serious footwork while dancing at a Mozambican wedding. Aaaayyyyyye!

CL TOPIC: LOVE & HIP-HOP’S EMILY B ON RELATIONSHIP W/ FABOLOUS – HOW LONG WOULD YOU WAIT FOR MARRIAGE?

In an interview with Juicy Magazine, Love & Hip-Hop star Emily Bustamente spoke about her relationship with rapper John “Fabolous” Jackson. In an excerpt of her interview with the publication’s editor-in-chief, the 29 year-old talked about her relationship with the rapper, the pros of being in a relationship with him as well as whether she sees marriage in the future:

On how Fabulous feels about the show:
“Fab and I shot a pilot show together about him being a father and trying to be an entertainer as well. They ended up not picking up his pilot. But um, he was a little salty [about me being in Love & Hip Hop]. He never told me not to do it. He was just like, “You know, I don’t know if it’s a good idea, but I’m not gonna tell you not to do it.”

On dating John, not Fabolous:
“He’ll go on the radio and they’ll ask, ‘Are you single?’ And he’ll say ‘As a dollar bill.’ But it’s funny because he’ll text me, and be like, ‘Don’t listen to the radio.’ I honestly feel and believe that [Fab the rapper] is a personality.”

On the pros of being in a relationship with Fabolous:
“He’s so intelligent. He teaches me so much. When we’re at home he’s not a rapper. He’s John. He’s not this guy everybody else see.s I’d rather him just be John at home with the kids sitting at the dinner table eating with them. I couldn’t tell you what the pros, because to me, a pro would be just to have him at home.”

On whether she wants to marry him:
“Absolutely. But I wouldn’t want to be married to anybody that didn’t want to be married because I don’t want to be divorced either. He’s not the youngest guy, and I’m not even 30. I know it’s been a long time, but I’m not gonna force anything. If it happens it happens and it doesn’t maybe I’ll move on. I don’t know what the future holds.” [ Source ]

After reading this interview, one can’t help but think, ‘How long is too long to wait for marriage?’


If you had a child with your long-time boyfriend or lover, would you be willing to wait for marriage? Why or why not?
