that is incredible!

, Buraka Som Sistema‘s label Enchufada is releasing Dotorado Pro’s African Scream as a two-track single that will include the original and a slowed-down kizomba edit, plus the bonus “African Scream 2,” which adds frenetic percussion and ducking synthesizers to the booming tune

ducking

could be a good thread to talk about this lisbon scene too (i'm no expert but the nidia minaj album is brilliant)

this is really cool
keep trying to work out the beat in my head

good stuff.

great beat. it sounds really Senegalese-influenced to me, but idk.

on first listen i wasn't hearing it quite right so it sounded even crazier, now it sounds more straight-forward but still dope. it's all about how the drums in the second half of the bar straighten out and grind against the triplets in the marimba.

I like how the marimbas change tone as the track progresses. they start off quite high and chimey and seem to get deeper towards the end. not sure i hear what's particularly remarkable/crazy about the beat but i like afrobeats and the dj marfox type stuff anyway.

kind of reminds me of Crazy Cousinz' 'Inflation' in a way.

Plus Buraka Som Sistema put out a kuduro influenced effort in late 2014

i've no idea where to put this but i was blown away by nkisi's set at trance party last night, which included the first time i've heard "african scream" dropped in a club, and i'm getting bang into her productions - lots of kuduro etc rhythms but these really intoxicating dark, driving melodies as well..

African scream in a club would be the end of me
