MUSIC TUESDAY! woooooo

SORRY FOR THE ABSENCE!

School started 2 weeks ago and life has become SO HECTIC! Its crazy how much can happen in a small period of time but NEVERTHELESS, I need to keep my blog going while maintaining school and extracurricular activities!
Enough with the excuses, UR-A-FIKI IS BACK AND AT IT AGAIN!
so I'm back with my favorite section: MUSIC TUESDAY!

The music I'd like to feature today is KUDURO MUSIC

This type of music comes from traditional AFRICAN beats but with SYNTHS & Electro beats. Kuduro orginated from Zouk & Tribal House! I think I really enjoy Kuduro music because its bringing a fresh new sound the orginal african (zouk) sound.

My favorite group from Kuduro Genre is....BURAKA SOM SISTEMA

Buraka was started in 2006 but I was introduced to them by friend around 2008. There first song I heard was their single off of BLACK DIAMOND LP, which was called KALEMBA (WEGUE-WEGUE)
have a listen:





Makes you wanna party right? The song is amazing and to think that it all started from simple zouk beat like this:










I saw B.S.S LIVE at Terminal 5 with a couple of my friends, in april! That show was off the hook! Since they are from Angolan background, they brought out dancers in the carnival outfits to hype the crowd, and that EXACTLY what it did, it was SUCH an amazing concert!


If they ever do something again in the NYC AREA, make sure to grab a ticket because they are something WORTH to see LIVE
