Kedjevara – Bobaraba
Killamu, Rangel beat maker
DJ Killamu and Mestre Ara form Guetto Produções, a fully independent studio with some of the biggest names in kuduro. This picture was taken outside the studio, at Killamu’s house in Rangel. Rangel is a municipio famous for its kudurists and DJs, kids flock from all over Luanda to record in studios like Killamu’s. Now this guy… anybody who’s listened to kuduro should know about him. He’s been around for a decade, has made beats for the biggest names in kuduro, Noite Día, Puto Prata, and now a HUGE hit by Big Nelo and Vagabanda. Killamu’s production is more minimal and a little more crossover than most, he uses more synths, and has a pretty clean sound… at least as clean as Angolan kuduro goes!

05/12 WW: Michel Pinheiro – Agoh
[:en]
Michel recorded Atchêgbê between Cotonou, Benin, and Paris, France. Too often, African artists cannot afford to hire a full ensemble of musicians, but on Agoh, you can hear right away that Michel is well surrounded. He’s worked as trombone player for many African musicians, lately Tiken Jah Fakoly, and has strong connections with talented African musicians all over the place. The combination of classic salsa with singing in Fon, French and some Spanish is quite tasty, hope you enjoy! The album is available in the iTunes music store.[:fr]
Michel a enregistré Atchêgbê entre Cotonou, Bénin et Paris, France. Trop souvent, les artistes africains ne peuvent se permettre d’engager un ensemble de musiciens, mais sur Agoh au contraire, vous entendrez immédiatement que Michel est bien entouré. Il a travaillé comme trombone pour de nombreux artistes africains, dernièrement avec Tiken Jah Fakoly, et a des relations avec des musiciens africains talentueux un peu partout. La combinaison de salsa classique et de chants en Fon, Français et Espagnol est assez savoureuse, on espère que apprécierez !
L’album est disponible sur l’ITunes Music Store.[:de]
