Half-compartment-shifted

If the most current form, and just grammatically, one “half-compartment-is shifted” can also write shifted Coupé or Cross to shift or Cross shifted (with or without accent each time). The half-compartment-shifted is a Danse appeared in 2003 in Ivory Coast and in the community of the Ivory Coast living in France in particular in the mediums of the Ivory Coast of Paris. It fits in the cultural movement (or the concept ) more total than is the Sagacité (one will frequently indicate and indifferently one to speak about the other).

Doukouré Stephan Amidou known as Douk Saga is regarded as one of the founders if not the founder. Actually it is well him and the members of “its group of friends” the jet set of the Ivory Coast (or Jet7) who are the creators.

Technicians, arrangers and producers such as: David Monceau (OBOUO Music), David Tayorault, max Héro, Bébi Philip, Athanase Kudo, Chico Lacoste or the guitarist Oguy Solo (appearance in the 3rd vagueness) are important actors of the Half-compartment-Shifted movement

At the time of its Concert S, Douk Saga, known as “the creator of half-compartment-shifted”, “the president (of the jet set)” and also “the Summit of the Himalayas”, deceased in October 2006, distributed Banknotes to the spectators; it is what it called travaillement the . In half-compartment-shifted the artist does not wait money but it is him which gives. It is there one of the reasons of its notoriety.

He dances himself with a background music on any happy occasion. He was adopted by the whole of DJ as well on the spot in Ivory Coast as with dimensions one of Paris and well beyond still. There exist today alternatives West-Indian, Malian, Togolese, Beninese, Cameronian… Let us note that half-compartment-shifted Chinese is a step of dance of half-compartment-shifted and not of half-compartment-shifted makes in China; in the same way, one half-compartment-will have shifted the wollof or half-compartment-shifted the Malian.
