African Dance in the Diaspora Date: Thu, 9 Jun 1994 17:45:36 -0700 (PDT) From: "Wendy E. Cochran" Subject: Re: Afro data base African Dances and Its Changes Overseas West Africa All of the dances that we chose to study tie in with this portion of our journey. The Goree Island, which is right off the shore of Senegal, was a holding place for the slaves, before they made their long journey to their final destinations. Woulousodong is a dance of the Wolorf people in Senegal. One of this dance's different interpretations, when learned in America, is that the movements represented those of the slaves while they walked up the gang plank. The African explanation tells us the movements signify adolescents breaking away from their parents' household and taking on new responsibilities. This is one instance where the interpretation of African dance has changed oversea. Haiti and Cuba Many of the slaves brought to Haiti and Cuba were Yoruba-speaking people. They worshipped more than 400 gods, which are still worshipped today. No doubt, they brought their religious practices with them. The main religion of the Spanish colonizers was Catholicism. It was taught to the Africans. This syncretism of religions resulted in Voodooism in Haiti, Santeria in Cuba and Condomble in Brazil. Haitian and Cuban dances show African origin not only in their religious foundations, but in their rhythmic movements and patterns. Brazil and Jamaica From the 15th century through the 18th century, about 3,000,000 Angolans were brought to Brazil to work on the different sugar, tobacco, cotton, and coffee plantations. The slaves brought with them many dances, including the Samba-de-Roda. This dance was originally from the Kimbundu tradition in Angola. When brought to Brazil, it took on many different forms, but it's African origins are still very distinct. Calypso is a social dance done at celebrations in Trinidad and Jamaica. The Calypso is very similar to the Brazilian Samba. Here, the relationship to African Diaspora dances is very clear.
