		The word 'bikutsi' literally means 'beat the earth' or 'let's beat the earth' (bi- indicates a plural, -kut- means 'to beat' and -si means 'earth'.) The name indicates a dance that is accompanied by stomping the feet on the ground.
		Bikutsi is characterized by an intense 6/8 rhythm, and is played at all sorts of Beti gatherings, including parties, funerals and weddings.
		In its modern form, bikutsi is very popular, and rivals makossa as the country's most renowned style.

	bikutsi: Afropop Style -- Cameroon, West Africa
		Bikutsi, the frenetic roots music of the Beti people around the city of Yaounde, has now developed into an electric sound that rivals makossa.
		Messi Me Nkonda Martin and his band Los Camaroes then pioneered electric bikutsi in the '60s and '70s using keyboards and guitars to play the quick balafon melodies of the traditional music.
		In 1988, the group weathered the suicide of their original guitarist, Zanzibar, who innovated the trick of damping the strings with a strip of foam rubber to produce the music's characteristic balafon-like thunk.

	Bikutsi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		These female choruses are an integral part of bikutsi, and their intense dancing and screams are characteristic of the genre.
		In its modern form, bikutsi is very popular, and rivals makossa as the country's most renowned style.
		In this respect bikutsi resembles mapouka from Côte d'Ivoir, which is also considered indecent by many Africans.

	Music of Cameroon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Beti are best-known for bikutsi music, which has been popularized and become a rival for the more urban and accessible makossa of Douala.
		Bikutsi is based on a war rhythm played with various rattles and drums and xylophone.
		In 1993, the Pedalé movement was born as a reaction to the Cameroonian economic slump.

	Bikutsi Pop: The Songs of So' Forest CD - NAX-76032
		I found the best singers and instrumentalists in Bikutsi Pop (my genre) in Yaounde, the town where I live in Cameroon, and started working with them on the songs, then I booked a professional studio, one of the best in the town, Studio Karel DC, for 12 days.
		Bikutsi is a genre coming from the south province of Cameroon, and means "the hit of the floor," the dance of Bantu fighters.
		I add sounds to my music from South Africa and from some other African countries I visited while touring with another band I was in before starting to work on my solo album.

	Bikutsi
		Pedale is a fast, accelerated version of Bikutsi where, in the frenzied finale of the bikutsi song, the dancers thrust their arms out in a fashion similar to riding a bicycle.
		The most musically diverse of all the modern Bikutsi releases, this is a brilliant fusion album combining the high points of Bikutsi music with afro-funk and jazz.
		A couple of bikutsi numbers crept into this eclectic mix, and if you ever wanted to have the in-flight musical jingle for Cameroon Airlines, then this is the CD for you.

	Henri Dikongue
		In spite of countless examples to the contrary, the cliché persists, causing identity problems for artists who prefer to write lyrical and introspective music.
		Dikongue's own marketing is complicated by Cameroon's well-earned reputation for aggressive, fuel-injected Makossa and triple-time Bikutsi club hits.
		"I esteem him and he is the best guitar player there is. I got a little disappointed in his work on my album!" Dikongue mostly steers clear of the frantic Bikutsi sound.
