Nazar, an artist with roots in Angola, has emerged as one of the more compelling electronic music producers by blending the sounds of his war-torn heritage with contemporary club music. Born in Belgium and raised in Angola during the civil war, Nazar’s music is deeply influenced by his experiences, as he offers a unique perspective by mixing the traditional Angolan genre of kuduro with dark, foreboding electronic beats, which he refers to as "rough kuduro."

His debut album "Guerrilla" (2020) serves as an auditory testament to the violence and political unrest that shaped his youth, whereas the "Enclave" EP, released prior in 2018, sets the groundwork for his visceral and abrasive style. His sound is characterized by unflinching percussion and haunting melodies that explore the impact of war and the concept of resistance. With other notable releases like "Bunker" and "UN Sanctions," Nazar crafts a sound narrative that confronts his personal history and the broader socio-political strife of Angola with raw intensity and an innovative approach. His music does not just serve as entertainment but also as a relentless chronicling of struggle and a beacon for the stories of the marginalized in modern conflict zones. Nazar’s work highlights the power of music as both a form of protest and a tool for the personal expression of collective hardships.
