Kuduro

Kuduro is a high-energy, rhythmically infectious music and dance genre that originated in Angola in the late 1980s and has since spread across the world, particularly in Portuguese-speaking countries. It melds traditional Angolan Kilapanga and Semba music with Western electronic beats, creating a vibrant, fast-paced sound characterized by its use of repetitive beats, electronic percussion, and Afro-Caribbean influences. Kuduro, meaning "hard ass" or a tough style of dancing, encourages dynamic and expressive dance movements, making it both a joy to listen to and a compelling call to dance. Artists like Dotorado Pro and PEDRO have pushed the genre, incorporating elements of house, techno, and hip-hop, demonstrating kuduro's adaptability and its continuous evolution. As it integrates more diverse electronic elements, kuduro continues to captivate global audiences, sustaining its position as a staple of electronic dance music with an African heart.
