Castro speaks to MTV Iggy about Azonto, African Music and more

Castro who recently performed in New York alongside VIP and Tiffany talks to MTV Iggy about the azonto dance craze,  African music breaking borders, and his sixth album called Olofofooexpected to drop in July. On Azonto,  commented: “The Azonto goes way back in our country, but who made it international is Castro and Asamoah Gyan. Nobody knew the Azonto until anytime that Asomoah would score he’d do Azonto. So that is why even whites started doing it. You know football fans, a goal is scored they all go crazy.” And on African music’s global reach, he said “African music is traveling far away. It’s moving forward, seriously. Now you can see a lot of the African stars doing collaborations with the top stars in the US: D’Banj, P-Square, 2Face. It’s doing well in the world. Not even in Africa alone. And that makes me feel good. I’m trying to bring what is good in Africa into the Europe system, into the American system.” “And now everybody knows the Azonto all over the world. When you go to the Net you will see all different kinds of people doing Azonto: Indians, whites, Black Americans. Everybody does the Azonto.” Check out the full interview]]>
