Ze Bula remix contest winners

SPACE BUS 500

Here we go, the remix contest was not only a success, in that a ton of remixes were submitted but the quality of the remixes were amazing. Unable to pick just one winner here are the Top 6 and they span across the globe. Bonde do Zombinhos (Aguascalientes, Mexico), Chief Boima (Oakland, California), Chancha Vía Circuito (Buenos Aires, Argentina), Voltergeist (Ayrshire, Scotland), Sabbo (Tel Aviv, Israel), and Perfect Loosers (Paris, France) Akwaaba are even planning to release the winners as a Remix EP, so look out for that soon. Congrats to all that entered.

Akwaaba Sem Transporte review in Clark (fr)

09-09 CLARK AKWAABA

Pretty fancy…. Clark is one of the sharpest culture mags in France at the moment, and it is a pleasure, scratch that, an honor to be featured in their pages!

In their own words (somewhat adjusted by our Franco-American team!):

“First compilation dedicated to kuduro from Angola, Akwaaba Sem Transporte is a striking demonstration of the creative potential within this unclassifiable ghetto music, born in the popular neighborhoods of Luanda over 15 years ago. Intoxicating rhythms, MCs burning the mic up, a raw, rugged sound and samples cut with a machete… the 15 tracks are a concentrate of energy straight from the streets, featuring the established names in the genre (Puto Prata, Notie e Día, Zoca Zoca…) as well as the new generation.”
