logobi
Logobi also written in French as Logobie is an urban musical genre that accompanies certain dance moves. It first appeared in Côte d'Ivoire in 1986 and became popularized initially in university campuses in Abidjan. It became an international dance trend that moved to other African countries and eventually continental Europe. The dance is based on Côte d'Ivoire's traditional Zouglou dance with new elements added and sometimes ''Zouglou'' and ''logobi'' are used interchangeably, although ''zouglou'' is more ancient whereas logobi is a more modern development.
==Etymology==
The literal meaning of "logobi" in Nouchi (an Ivorian slang) is to earn money through cunning crafty and often trickery means to earn a fortune.〔(to Siddhartha Mitter, ''The Hip Hop Generation: Ghana's Hip Life and Ivory Coast's Zouglou'' )〕 Many of the dance moves accompanying the music are depictions of bandits, hooligans and street gangs including fight moves, using of weapons, secret gang signals as well as sexual overtures. The music and dance try to convey the social realities of poverty and misery aspiring at the same time happier more positive future and longing for prosperity, justice and peace. It has been also dubbed as "la danse des gros bras" (literally the dance of big arms). The European, particularly French, development of "logobi" has also included electric and tecktonic elements to the music, diluting the gang aspects of the original dance by gearing it towards children and young adults.
