Kuduro de Angola

Homem Barroso - Come Todas

Os Turbantes, now Xtrubantu, with this song called "Defaya". Defaya is also a Kuduro kind of gangsta band. More pure Ghetto than gangsta... This was a big hit four or five years ago. No radio brodcast, due to the violent lyrics, no TV exposure, but everybody knew and sung the words in this endless speech from the banlieus. Natural and filmed with a photographic camera.

Back to da rutzz!!! "New Song" Bruno de Castro 1996 No Fear Album RMS | Luanda - Angola Posted by Toke

"Prakatá" Bruno de Castro No Fear - 1993 Album - - 128kbps - Back to the roots, 1993, Bruno de Castro was presenting the hotest Luanda's nights sounds in wild discos called like: Pandemonium; Paralelo2000; Mathieu; Panorama; Chiuhaua; or in O Farol, the last dancing stop at the end of the mythical Ilha de Luanda (Ilha do Cabo as real name) where you could reawake with a special hot fish soup at 6:00 in the morning. In these days... Posted by Toke

"Sofia" Bruno de Castro 1993

Back to da rutz! "No Fear" Bruno de Castro 1993

Now it's official. Buraka Som Sistema is finally a big success in Angola! Perhaps Buraka as a sound to much sofisticated for the original Kuduro's country people. So now, Buraka is playing in Luanda at home partys, with those big bass frequency in the cars, bars or raves. Sending you a remix of "Kalemba (Wegue Wegue)", made by angolan Dj Mello, with the scan of the street back CD-R. You see... we do not have a record industry here in Angola, so, if you, as an artist, have a tune in the street CD-R's, thats a gooooooooooooooooood sign! That means you are a success. That means a lot... Can't you see??? Posted by Toke

Os Lambas - Dança do Guetho

Os BF - Sony (Oficial Video - sample) A sample from the newest Kuduro Video flashing from os BF Luanda's Samba barrio and original "étymologique" source place for the word Samba! Not forgeting that this is another world wide all medias release Kuduros video première. The released mp3 for Os BF - "Sony".

Os Defaya - Se Borrou Another exclusive, and yet unpublished, from Dj Buda.

Os Lambas - "Matabicho"

Agre G. - "Do Milindro" Everybody comes running to me saying - "This is the one now!" I believe it is... After a listening I said that Agre G. is an old one. But I say also that Bruno M. is making good disciples. You see, Bruno M. is now being discovered by angolan mainstream music public, like Puto Prata turn into mainstream in 2006... So... Take care Bruno M.... :D

Buraka Som Sistema - Deeejay A special one from Buraka and that I dedicate to a kuduro's Angola reader, listner: Jeremiah!, from the USA... There she is...

Puto Bock - Olha a Putaria Another favourite of mine, from 3 or 4 years ago, an unconfortable hit due to the very explicit lyrics and again with an underground sound. It was a very big hit in Angola and with the refrain reprised by plenty of others Kuduristas and non Kuduristas. This "Ou me matam ou quê!" from the refrain it's a popular interjection till today, and means, more or less, something like: "Or you stop me or I don't know what can hapenning". In fact "Ou me matam ou quê!" in direct translation is "Or you kill me or what!".

Dj Kilamú - Mi Matão A set of local remixes for now.

Mix Manda Fodê (Fuck It Up Mix) - Dj Apocryphal

Walter Laton - É Meu (remix) Local tribute mixes from local Kuduro producers to... Kuduro! :)

Dj Terrível - Rompimento Another local mix.

NV and Frequim - Ku Semba Here we have an infectious intersection between traditional Angolan Semba musical style with young Kuduro tribute.

Kotas (Supergroup) - Força Angola (Afrobasket Angola2007) This is a special mainstream tune recorded for the Afrobasket Angola 2007, that Angolan basket team win, of corse! Well, in matter of Afrobasket championship, we Angolans, we know what we are talking about. We are 9 (NINE) times (!!!) male seniors African champions. So, for the 2007 edition in Angola, a bunch of reputed old traditional Semba singers try it mixing it with a soft Kuduro tune style. But, the new generation gives a helping hand, with some back vocals.

Puto Lilas - Remixed by Dj Franck - Diga Não à Droga (Controla a Nganza)

Puto Lilas - Diga Não À Droga A now hit by Puto Lilas, in a delicious naif Museke-Kuduro style. This is a drug song. If we translate de title we'll have "Says no To Drug". But the lyrics are very funny, 'cause they say: «...if you're drugged (control your heat - says the back vocal); if you're very high (control you’re heat); but control your heat (this is my life); if you've had hemp (don't bother me)…» This is the original mix. There is also a mix by Dj Franck. Who's Dj Franck? Who knows? Polls? I'll put it on style here too, from us to you... :p However, drug addiction is a big problem in Luanda Musekes. Mainly Cocaine and his Evil arm, the Crack. This is a Silent problem. I can tell you that now days CRACK COCAINE IS ALL OVER LUANDA!!! And even the street kids are smoking CRACK, for 5 usd dollars you can have an aeuphoric trip for 10 seconds the row. As, equal to the socialite hip people, so, nobody speaks about the EVIL CRAK COCAINE IN LUANDA.

Mainstream Pub - Toque - by UNITEL Fantastic things are happening in this Kuduro from Angola Podomatic site. I would like to thanks to Podomatic, Inc team once they aloud us to use extra bandwith in this site, because all the http://kuduro.podomatic.com visitors have exceed the 15 gigas of bandwith per month, and we have already 17,1 gigas!!!

Podomatic, Inc, thanks, and, please please all those visitors all over around the world!!! ; ) So, coming with the music. If this is a Luanda's Kuduro Underground site, we must see also the mainstream fact. And, Kuduro, only can be Kuduro with a fighter actitude, rebel soul. And, here in Angola, even the big enterprises use this agressivity in comercial releases. Here we have a actual and nice exemple of a big pub from angolan mobile phone UNITEL company set where true angolan Kuduro style, despite the mainstream usage, is present loud and clear and funnilly. I'll guive more news later. Cheers...

Puto Prata - Intro I'm trying to show in this site the underground kuduro of Angola, new tendences, right from Luanda streets to your pc. It's very hard to find kuduro records outside Angola mainly because the big majority of angolans kuduristas doesn't have a oficial release and a label to their musics. So cd-r rulezz in non mainstream kuduro. If a radio host likes a tune it may be a succes; or, if that particular new kuduro it's playing in the partys at home, or in the discos, a new kudurista can have a contract. Tha'ts what happened to Puto Prata. From protégée from the great Sebém to a big label contract an lots of internationals demands Puto Prata is now a big star and his sound it's getting better all the time. So, you can easyly find Puto Prata cds to buy, you just have to make a little search in internet. Anyway, I saw in the internet that Puto Prata is very requested this days. So, specialy to Puto Prata fans I'll put some tunes from is last album "O K Faz". I gess that this is a good sampler of is work and that this will make people who likes the sound to buy the record.

Puto Prata - São Vocês

Puto Prata feat Noite e Dia - A Dupla

Puto Prata, Fofandó, Puto Saborosa - A Boda da City

Puto Prata, Fofandó, Puto Saborosa And Noite E Dia - Criança Futuro Bate Criança Futuro Project.

Dog Murras feat Fofandó and Puto Saborosa - Me Deixa Despite beeing a big star Murras suports new kuduristas, well, not so new: Fofandó and Puto Sabrosa have not been borned in the last rain and both have already a kudurista carreer reaching ten years.

Dog Murras and Fly - Farsidade Criança Futuro Project.

Dog Murras - Ku Power Pure power Kuduro. In fact, Kazukuta-Kuduro, as said by Murras himself.

Dog Murras feat Beto de Almeida - Kazukuta Empurrão Kazukuta is a national style music with plenty of balanced moovements. Once again, Dog Murras is able to integrate both styles, the traditional with Kazukuta, and the modern Kuduro electronic beat. This makes a big smile in my nationalistic soul... blerrr :p Feating Beto de Almeida, one of the singers of Irmãos de Almeida (Almeida Brothers) a local famous duo with a long discographie, and a irregular musical production.

Tony Amado, Sebém, Dog Murras - Medley - Xica, Felicidade, Aqui Ta-se From the album: Angola - 30 Anos de Música - 2006

Sebém - A Felicidade (Original)

 Sebém - A Felicidade (Mix Feliciano)

Sebém - A Felicidade (Vip Mix)

Sebém - Makumba 2004

Sebém - Obrigado Snr. Presidente

Sebém - Ai Bandeiroso 2004

Sebém e Tony Amado - Capuetepuete The unnespected hapening again! Sebém put out of the trone Tony Amado by the middle of the 9ties. Ten years latter here they hare singing together in a set previously seen as improbable.

Tony Amado - Boa Noite (kuduro forever) - 2007 The last Tony Amado, kuduro creator in the beguin of the 9ties, album has 14 tracks, but only one is in kuduro style. He's now a mainstream artist that want to stay mainstream, so he goes through kizomba, merengue and whatever tunes that hare in the hit of the moment. Anyway, Tony Amado is respected by all angolan kuduristas and he organize kuduro shows when asked. Long live to Tony Amado!!!

Dj Amorin - Kumystic If Tony Amado is the father of Kuduro sound, Dj Amorin is the mother! Those men, Amado and Amorin, are the starters of all this kuduro crazynes. In this music, from the earliers 9ties, we can hear the international music influences and the diference from old classic kuduro with sparse vocalisation and new kuduro bands style tendences of put the Mc in the first plan, more like hip-hop style.

Puto Prata with Bruno M - Cara Podre Puto Prata it's guiving a lift to Bruno M, two of the most dearest angolan kuduristas in a regular kuduro tune.

Dj Znóbia feat Nayo Crazy - Piada - 2006 Here he is! A set with Dj Znóbia, the most peculiar artist in the angolan scene. Angolan people just don't care, about rock, pop or conceptual music. As long as they can dance angolan music, african music, brazillian music, or carabean sounds who needs adolescent WASP paranoias from a far material world? Dj Znóbia start to be known about 13 years ago. He was dj animator with a electronic tendence in a country where tropical rythms rules, there's no place to anglo-saxonic pop, rock. With is dj kit, Znóbia put angolan youth to electronic dance, in a time when only the famous now closed Luanda Pandemonium discothèque was playing electronic stuff. Then, Znóbia start producing other peoples records and later is own records. Nowdays he wants to be a singer, not a very good singer, but he manage himself with that. Dj Znóbia it's not a pure kudurista and he mooves through other angolan music styles. But he has a big word in kuduro guetho moovement as producer and with his own records. In the beguin his records where mainly beats mixed with international electronic music. Then he progress to lots of original stuff, most of them with very naif sounds, some of them with extraordinary beats. But, maybe because of that naiveté, he's the most original electronic angolan music producer. He does unnexpected mixes, incredible wrong ways of doing the musical arrangements, but, again, this makes him incomparable, and in my humble opinion, the only angolan dj with a true international beat. The only question: his music can be gorgeous or ridiculous, but always worth a listening. He will be often with us, here, as you guess...

Os Vagabanda - "Inove" 2008 Musseke-Kuduro "Inove", the success from 2008 from Os Vagabanda. It starts to be eard everywhere, in kandongueiro's blue vans, in a group of friends drinking bears stoped at border of the roads. From homes, with a party or whithout a party. "Inove! - Assim é que tá bater!", is the cry from Luanda youth, and it means that things are going alright! Let me translate it to you: "Inove" it's an abreviation/neologism from a question. Like: "How are things going in the Summer?" The answer: "It's beating!" (Going well) So, in portugese: Question - "Inove?" = "E no Verão?" Answer - "Tá Bater!" = (Está muito bem) Elocubration: "And Summering?" "It's beatin up!" KudurOmatic For You!!!
