A Minha Face

At 140 bpm, all hard beats and infectious grooves, Kuduro is the perfect music to just get lost in and dance to, so it’s no surprise that it’s spread to dancefloors all over the world. But the music was actually a reaction to Angola’s long and bloody civil war, as a distraction and a celebration of life. “A Minha Face,” by renowned kuduro beat maker Killamu, is a typical high-energy, celebratory kuduro record,  but showcases the style’s variety by including harder, instrumental electronic cuts and more melodic kizomba rhythms.
