It's always like that. There's someone coming from outside and discovered by accident or on the recommendation of a certain local movement or flow, which led into certain channels, can become the next hot shit. Baile Funk, Kuduro, the Balkans, cumbia or Diwali riddims - they all went through this process and are still part of a process that will eventually influence the way the mainstream pop and charts. Dubstep and kuduro here can just sing a song of. And not only Berlin's governing mayor would "and that's a good thing" to say. It brings fresh air in an often ingrained mechanisms.
Africa and South America, it currently appears as a source for potential, new vibes and hype to be. The tombs and vinyl sound world of researchers Soundway Records had many years ago a good nose and collected music from Central and South America, the mitentfachte today cumbia enthusiasm. You may trust blindly that label when they introduce new shapes and sound development. Collectors and music lovers know that a long time - Soundway Records are for nothing but quality.
DJ Mpula activist from Angola is a virtuoso of many talents and fields of activity. He produced hangs up, makes video art and organizes parties. He spanned the bow with his music over the colonial past between Portugal and the colony of Angola. Traditional sounds, especially from the 70s are here, mixed with electronic beats. Music is here for only one component and the real starting point. Dance, poetry, graphic arts, photography, video, radio want to shake up the critical social policy and let the shadows of the dark past of colonial exploitation behind them. The project is a wonderful Batida exchange between the worlds and extremely danceable.
