Costoleta - Xiriri (Angola)
Kuduro, Angola

It is in 1996, by being inspired by the house music hit 'I Like to Move It' that Tony Amado, Angolan producer, creates the first electronic music 100 % African. "One day I saw a film where Jean-Claude Van Damme danced by being drunk. He was so stiff, we would have said that he had the tight bottom. I resumed his steps, accelerated a little the rhythm, and so was born the dance". At first boycotted by the media, the kuduro was diffused only by candongueiros, small collective taxis of Luanda, and popular discotheques of the city.
