kuduro is one hell of a musical style. african techno (ignorant description?^^) is killin it anyway. i just featured this one in raveline magazine:

got get Buraka Som Sistema – Black Diamond,

buraka som sistema are pretty much hyped by journalists at the moment. the genre, kuduro, is bouncin in lissabon and thats where buraka som sistema come from. still kuduro (“hard ass”) has its roots in angola (i read that, gotta be true). so the video location wasnt chosen out of cheapest-flight causes.
not hard to recognize that kuduro is not that different from other styles that developed in africa out of tapes tourists forgot in the early nineties.

another nice one from princes of kuduro out of angola:

this one is from cabo verde, where fu is livin, a brother from my my crew highlight, puttin in work for schakkerhart. the sound they pump over there is called batuko.

another one he showed me. this one is really huge in cabo verde. the title of the song means something like “put your hands on the ground”.

capo verde mom – poi mo na xiom
