Kuduro

Also on the ghetto pop tip are Portuguese collective Buraka Som Sistema, taking massive cues from Angolan Kuduro, but with more European influences of Techno, Dubstep and 4x4. I remember seeing them in 2007 with crowds of about 20 people really getting into it, at the time it was fresh new and exciting, and for me its lost a little of its sparkle, but I guess that’s no surprise 2 years down the line. Anyway they’re still putting out some serious heat, here’s a couple of recent efforts; a fairly chirpy remix of Swedish vocalist Lykke Li and a remix of Dre Skull and dancehall legend Sizzla
