And from Semba we go to Kuduro...
This genre is rooted in semba, but it has evolved to be a fusion of Zouk, Soca and Ragga music genres.
There is also the Progressive Kuduro (the one produced in the outskirts of Lisbon, especially Amadora and Queluz - where the majority of the Angolan community lives), that I will introduce you to later on.
Kuduro means "hard butt" or "stiff bottom"; because when women dance kuduro they protrude their behind and swing it to the rythm of the hard-hitting beat. When men dance it they pop-lock and breakdance. The key to dance kuduro is to move sensually.
For further information on Kuduro, please read here.
This week's video displays one of the many ways of dancing kuduro, particularly outside Angola (as we go, I will share the original form of dancing Kuduro, i.e. the Angolan style), and the artist sharing his art with us is the dancer Tsunami (an Angolan artist living in France) and his crew who shake to the sound of a kuduro mix.
Have fun!
