I agree that the notion of authenticity is indeed problematic… which is why on all of our materials, you’ll always see “authentic” used to refer not to kuduro, but to Angolan kuduro. In this sense, the only kuduro I don’t consider authentic is not BSS or Galliano’s music, but only stuff like Costuleta’s Tchiriri, which is Angolan, but just the sum of existing tracks – that’s a polite way of calling it a total rip off of Magnesio’s original track!!

Anyway thanks for posting, and keep spreading the grind!!!!
