Macru (Makru, Makuru) is a Susu-seduction-dance. This dance is often played in the combination with Yankadi, where Yankadi is a slow part, and Macru a fast part of the dance. The first song (Baga Giné) is about the lust to dance among the Baga-woman.

A boron ma, ma boron ma, eeh, A boron ma, ma boron ma eeh,
A boron ma, ma boron ma, ee-laila Baga Giné, fare boron ma woto kui eeh

Will you dance, or will you not dance ?; The Baga-woman even dances in the car !

O lee, O lee-lee-ko, O lee-lee-ko,....................O lee, O lee-ko
Waya, Africa waya,......Waya Africa waya, .........O lee. O lee-ko
