DJ Znobia mirrors in his music the urgent reality of Angola and Luanda, a capital in constant mutation. Almost single handed he has brought about a revolution in Kuduro, to the point where we can clearly see a before and an after DJ Znobia.
Buraka Som Sistema, Diplo, Radioclit and M.I.A. have all pointed DJ Znobia as the driving force for a new Kuduro sound from within Angola, and rightly so. DJ Znobia's music is about reinventing africa. It mixes the ancient and rooted with occidental technology through the use of computers, as it mashes and marries sometimes apparently disparate sources, influences, beats, it unveils the contradictions of a new Africa and African reality.This very limited edition has been hand painted by Mekwa and Target.
Mekwa is one of the artists who has been collaborating with Buraka Som Sistema from the very beginning. His body of work is mostly about catalyzing touch through digital media. Target is a young and talented portuguese street artist who tends to explore the clash between a self-made cartoon reality and an urban environment.
Mekwa and Target have tried to capture the essence of Angola's aggressive Kuduro dance moves in two panels of 200 12'' vinyl sleeves each. The first panel represents a social network of thousands of kuduro dancers, all clustering and reconnecting after years of war. The second panel is a random collection of dancers as these take centre stage in the vinyl jacket.
