BEFORE KUDURO
December 9th, 2009
We all love Kuduro and other music coming out of booming Angola these days, but little is known about the decades before Kuduro emerged. The following BBC documentary gives a brief introduction to the first years of Angolan independence – marked by a bloody, civil war, that was shaped by Cold War politics. After seeing this documentary you may hear Batida´s “Bazuka”, in which Angolan civil war veterans talk about their lifes during wartime, with different ears.
