The dance in question has been inspired by DJ Mix and DJ Eloh's hit song Bobaraba, which means "big bottom" in the local Djoula language.


DJ Mix says it was inspired by women."We made it as a tribute to women, because African women are defined by the shape of their bottoms," he says.


"Move your bottom, jump, you see, it's alive." Kady Meite, one of his dancers, says the song is a message for women. "There are women today with large bottoms who are embarrassed, so it's to say don't be ashamed - be comfortable," she says.
