Kuduro (or Kuduru) is a type of music born in Angola and immediately exported to Lisbon suburbs in Portugal, hence its two varieties Luandense and Lisboeta. It is characterized as uptempo, energetic, and danceable. French DJ/Producer Fredric Galliano, who specializes in African music, describes Kuduro as "house music with programming inspired by traditional carnival music from the Caribbean and Angola". He considers the music a social movement created by poor people, akin to hip-hop, and describes the lyrical content as societal and political critique. (From wikipedia)
