The acrobat group Amoukanama performed human pyramids, partner acrobatics and other stunts during the auditions of Got Talent. The group’s founder said its members came from the suburbs of Guinea. Juror Dan Karaty was impressed and pressed the Golden Buzzer, sending Amoukanama directly to the semifinals. The qualifying round has since ended, with 15 acts advancing after winning unanimous approval from the jury. In the seventh episode, contortionist King X performed an extreme act that drew shocked reactions, but his eventual status was not stated. A large group of accordionists also appeared in the auditions and was described as a nightmare for Karaty.
