Rattling windows and shaking club floors across the world, the irrepressible energy and furious beats of Kuduro represent a real melting pot of music cultures. The style was shaped in the streets and clubs of Angola during the ‘80s and ‘90s when DJs influenced by electronic and hip-hop production combined samples of African drum patterns and Caribbean melodies, then took their innovations to Europe and beyond. Today, leading artists like Buraka Som Sistema, Shabba Tigre, Bruno Castro and Gasolina whip up a heady brew of tribal house, techno and electronic funk.
