Like I see a shared "essence" between the rhythmic erotic (by western puritanical standards) dancing of people from all parts of the Diaspora from the Juke joints and strip clubs in the American South, Dancehalls in the Carribean, to the dances you see from remote african tribes.


Don't get me wrong, there is something problematic going on here with this series and this dudes taste in subject matter and doing the job of explaining black exotic life to white audiences, but I think it is hard to deny there is a common thread that he seeks out in all his black subjects that isn't made up.
