This is one of my most popular mixes. It introduces the Angolan dance music style of Kuduro to my listeners. It's been out for some time now but I'm not sure if it will ever be popular in the States. It is similar to American rap because the majority of the elders in the communities where this music is popular try to ban it as was the case with hip hop in the beginning. The elders don't agree with the way the kids dance so freely to the music and sometimes the lyrics are deemed inappropriate. Mostly spoken in Portuguese, here is a taste of this hot musical form. Don't be ashamed if you wanna get up and dance!
