Basement Jaxx – “What A Difference Your Love Makes”

While the video for Basement Jaxx’s “What A Difference Your Love Makes” hinges on a narrative of a mother and her sons (and a very literal interpretation of the song’s title) the primary meat of the clip is all dance. From the first dance scene, I was immediately reminded of Tofo Tofo, the Mozambican dance crew who inspired the choreography fro Beyoncé’s “Run The World” video. Their style of dance, which is called “pantsula,” is the kind of intricate footwork featured here. The video was shot in Alexandra, Johannesburg, South Africa’s oldest township, where pantsula originated.
