Tofo Dancers.

Lately we have been hanging out with our friend who works for the U.S. embassy here. He always has the inside scoop on stuff. We seriously learn new things every time we go over to his house.


Anyways, he told us about these dancers.





Pretty cool, right? These guys live in Matola, which is the neighboring town to Maputo. We go to Matola all the time.


Beyonce wanted to use these guys' dance moves in her newest music video. They tried to learn the tofo dance moves just from watching their youtube video someone happened to post from their cell phone at a wedding. They weren't able to get the moves down, so she decided that they needed to bring the dancers to Los Angeles to teach the dance moves.


Our friend who works for the U.S. embassy had 2 days to find these guys from the youtube video, get them all passports, plane tickets, and send them to the U.S., and it happened!


We watched a short documentary on all this, it was awesome. I wish I had the video to show. When Beyonce walked up to these three Mozambicans in LA to meet them, they asked "What is your name?" Pretty funny.


Here is the final product. The video is a little weird, but the part with the Tofo dancers is awesome.





It is amazing what an opportunity these guys had. They are as poor as they come, from Matola, Mozambique. Now they are in a Beyonce music video. Crazy, huh?


Now, a small update on what were doing.
Right now we are still waiting on government officials to move forward with our land. Waiting is what we do best nowadays.


Also, We have been looking a new place to stay- we need a new house. Rent is ridiculously expensive here if you want to good security, so its been tough. We have looked at alot of houses and apartments. We'll see where we end up I guess.


Ok tchau!
