Frederic Galliano KUDURO SOUND SYSTEM

KUDURO is born 10 years ago in Angola, created by Tony Amado, the Angolan's Grandmaster Flash ! KUDURO (Portuguese translation of... hard butt...) is a 100% Angolan production, totally electronic, composed by Angolans dj's. Frederic Galliano has crossed the way of kuduristas in Angola while he was travelling in Africa. The shock is instant and he then decides to produce an album in Luanda with DJ Kito da machina, a dozen of ...batidas... (beats) where the most notorious kuduristas from the capital were coming with their flows and lyrics. KUDURO is an electronic production ...made in... Africa, a singular musical style that gathered traditional music & house with brazilian, caribbean and latin vibes. Beats are a savant mix of programming inspired by Angolan's carnival traditional rhythms at 140 Bpm (ancestor of the Brazilian samba) and accelerated house music beats. From this base with unexpected arrangements, kuduristas put their protest texts (in Portuguese). To go with those new rhythms, Tony Amado has also created a dance, at the same time hard, sensual and languid. This dance constitutes by itself a fascinating performance. To listen and dance like in Luanda : Strong and Wild ! FREDERIC GALLIANO
