Kuduro

Kuduro is new music flavor coming out of Angola. I first heard this stuff in Lisbon [Portugal] which has a big Angolan community preserving their identity via "hardass" sonics, this stuff is now getting attention partly due to similarity to Baile Funk from Brazil which owes more to Miami booty bass. Kuduro is more exotic. The first original electronic music from Africa. Respekt!
Frederic Galliano has compiled the best on this Rough Trade release.
