Kuduro
Kuduro (or kuduru) is a type of music and dance from Angola. It is characterized as uptempo, energetic, and danceable. Kuduro was developed in Luanda, Angola, in the late 1980s. Producers sampled traditional carnival music like soca and zouk béton ("hard" zouk) from the Caribbean to Angola, house and techno playing from Europe. The kuduro is similar to semba. Its rhythm is laid out on a fast four-to-the-floor beat bass drum and some other instrument (snare drum, sidestick, etc.) performing the first two hits of the tresillo pattern. Origins The roots of kuduro can be traced to the late 1980s when producers in Luanda started mixing African percussion samples with zouk béton ("hard" zouk) and soca to create a style of music then known as Batida ("Beat"). European and American electronic music had begun appearing in the market, which attracted Angolan musicians and inspired them to incorporate their own musical styles. Young producers began adding heavy African percussion to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Nagrelha
Gelson Caio Manuel Mendes, better known as Nagrelha (1986 – November 18, 2022), was an Angolan musician. He was a pioneer of the kuduro genre and one of its best-known stars. Born in the Luanda neighbourhood of Sambizanga, Nagrelha grew up in a tough environment, where he experienced gang violence, drug abuse, and stints in jail. His group, Os Lambas, released their first major hit, 'Comboio', in 2006, and proceeded to become one of the most renowned of all kuduro acts. According to Kalaf Epalanga, founding member of the Portuguese group Buraka Som Sistema, the video for 'Comboio' "marks a before and an after in music video production in Angola"; it is said to have "defined kuduro’s visual esthetics". Nagrelha was a lifelong supporter of the MPLA, the political party that has ruled Angola since independence, and frequently performed at party functions. José Eduardo dos Santos, president of Angola from 1979 to 2017, was also from Nagrelha's neighborhood of Sambizanga. N ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
