BIKUT-SI:
The Bikut-si is a traditional, rootsy and brutal musical style and dance of the Beti ethnic group, from Center and South of Cameroon, that has evolved into one of Cameroon’s most popular forms of cultural expression
The word bikut-si means in Ewondo "beat of the earth" (bi is a mark of the plural, kut means beating and si means earth).
Bikut-si music is historically rooted in the cultural traditions of the Beti people. [...] The Beti have historically inhabited villages spread throughout the equatorial forest region surrounding urban Yaoundé, and further South into neighboring Equatorial Guinea.
[...]
Bikut-si is characterized by its intense and instantly recognizable 6/8 pounding rhythm.
It’s a beat that grabs you, grooves you, and finally overpowers you into stomping your feet rhythmically to the beat. Once you’ve heard it, it is forever impossible to mistake bikut-si for any other Central African music style. [...]
