VIDEO UPDATE- STREET BATTLE FOOTAGE FROM EUROPE

Kuduro, meaning “hard ass,” is the brash, playful electronic dance music out of Angola’s capital, Luanda. Emerging from decades of civil war, and hitched to the rocket of oil wealth, Luanda has developed into a hotbed of innovation, and kuduro is among the cultural forms that best reflect its feverish pace of change. While best known kuduro inspired group (at least internationally) is Lisbon-based Baraka Som Systema, the Os Kuduristas organizers point out that they are presenting the real deal straight from Luanda—top stars Cabo Snoop, Francis Boy, and Os Namayer: President Gasolina & Principe Ouro Negro.
