New artist, Christened Milla Lamptey better known as Gasmilla says he wants to take �Azonto� dance to the international level looking at how fast the dance type has won many followers.
Gasmilla, an old student of Wesley Grammar Senior High School and a graduate of the Institute of Professional Studies (IPS) who says he is an expert in Azonto told Showbiz that the Azonto dance originated from a Ga dance called �Aawon� which is mostly danced by Ga traditional priestesses.
In his view, this is the time Ghana should exploit a dance like this. �We always copy all sorts of dances from foreign lands but I think, if we market the �Azonto� dance outside Ghana, it would be history for all of us. In getting the message across, Gasmilla has uploaded videos of himself on Youtube doing the �Azonto� dance.
Gasmilla who is signed to Blue Paper Entertainment has released a couple of singles in his music career with the latest being �Aboodatoi�.
He said he has performed on some programmes such as the 2011 edition of the Joy FM Old Skuul Re-union, KNUST LMAO show and Ghana Music and Food Festival held at the Trade Fair. The young artist told Showbiz his song �Aboodatoi�, will be launched in January next year.
