Beyoncé - Run The World (Girls) Tofo Tofo


If you have not already seen nor heard the new track from the icon herself Beyonce. Where have you been hiding. lol

One thing i love about B is that she always growns with knowledge with music, dance,fashion and desire to the arts and always give props to all that inspire.

In the new video B and Creative Director Frank Gatson, used two of the three members of a Mozambican kwaito dance group called Tofo Tofo.

Statement from Frank
"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."

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 raw footage of the guys plus Beyonce New video which features the guys..... Thankyou Beyonce & Frank for sharing this with us.

Also big thanks to concrete loop
