WORTH IT IN 2012: #38 - Batida

2012 IN KUDURO

(Soundway)



About the song "Ka Heueh" I said at PopMatters, "Portuguese poet Ngongo chants the hook a little like a lounge singer. Batida mastermind DJ Mpula tricks out the beat with a kaleidoscope of echo and FX, including what sounds like a bunch of oversized resonant fork tines jangling together in space."




Also, here's an Economist article about Angolan rappers, one of whom is featured on this very album. Hot stuff!

Way better than Spoek Mathambo's Father Creeper.
