How and when did kwasa kwasa originate?

Kwasa kwasa originated in the late 1980s in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) as a dance style associated with soukous music, characterized by its energetic hip movements and smooth footwork. The term "kwasa kwasa" is derived from the Lingala language, meaning "to shake" or "to sway." It gained popularity across Africa and beyond, especially through the influence of Congolese musicians like Kanda Bongo Man. The dance became a cultural phenomenon during the 1990s, reflecting both the music and social dynamics of the region.
