  • TITICA – KUDURO’S DANCE QUEEN

    Posted on December 14th, 2011 No comments

    There’s something really phenomenal going on with Kuduro music at the moment. Half the time the Kuduro sound is really male influenced with a bit of a jagged edge. However, a unique twist on things has occurred - Titica who has aptly titled herself Kuduro’s Dance Queen is shaking things up beyond the dance-floor. Appearing to be Africa’s first public transexual artist, Titica is literally setting fire to an issue that is in need of serious addressing; the acceptance of LGBT individuals in Africa. Even though this may not be her manifesto, it’s great to see her own her image with supreme confidence.

    Featured regularly on the popular Angolan network TPA where she has had dance lessons featured as well as performances with other female Kuduro artists such as Asy and Tuga Aggressiva, it’s fun to watch her perform passionately to each song and to be respected by her peers. Digging through the Youtube comments of her videos it seems as though the audience is either divided or united. As is the case with most things, when something is disliked, it is disliked, but there also seems to be a healthy  presentation of supporters who are looking beyond any title that may be imposed on Titica and embracing the work she has set out to deliver as a musician.

    Titica’s album Chão is an 8 track CD and with 2 official videos, she is doing things big and making moves. Check out her latest release for the track Kusi De Pole featuring Mona Star.

    Masala est très content de voir le retour de Cabo Snoop, un de nos favoris, après le terrible accident de voiture qui a eu raison de ses danseurs et de son producteur IVM au début de l’année! Encore une fois, un morceaux qui accroche et qui confirme la force de l’homme fort d’Angola qui avait raflé tout les prix possible l’année dernière avec son morceau Windeck.

  • Tarraxinha

    Posted on February 23rd, 2010 2 comments

    Voila quelques videos de Tarraxinha.   La Tarraxinha (ou Tarranchina, tarrancha, tarraxa etc) est une forme de Kizomba qui,  lui, est la version angolaise du Zouk. La tarraxinha est en général une version assez intense et sensuel de la kizomba. Les danses sont généralement très érotique. Bref, voici donc quelques morceaux que j’apprécis particulièrement.

    Costuleta est la grande vedette du Kuduro mais il a fait selon moi un classique du genre avec Domilindo. Voici un vidéo relativement récent!

    Elji rappeur deFrance avec Taraxa mau est un peu différent dans la forme avec une touche hip hop vraiment interessante.

    Chelsy Shantel fait une version beaucoup plus traditionnel et “cheezy” du genre avec Ghetto Tarracha.

    Tout ca pour finir vos soirées au chaud avec de la bass bien collé comme ici!
