Tanzania's Chura Dance: Banned for "Immoral Twerking" Vibes, But Cultural Roots Run Deep

Do you know this dance was banned in Tanzania? The dance became more secular than cultural and authorities didn't like that.

Tanzanian pushed back and the dance continues. But the Chura music remains banned and so does twerking.
