IKOQWE - BEGINNING THE MEDIUM THE END AND THE INFINITE Vinyl LP

IKOQWE (pronounced ee-kok-weh) is a new project by Batida (aka Pedro Coquenao, the Angola-born, Lisbon-raised artist who ranks among the leading exponents of the new wave of African electronic music), and Luaty Beirao, aka Ikonoklasta, the Angolan rapper turned iconic activist. IKOQWE's inspiration comes from old school Hip Hop as much as from traditional Angolan music. The album includes drum machines, vocals in Angolan slang, Umbundu, Portuguese & English, discussions about neocolonialism, iniquities & falsified history, radio sounds, utopian solutions, and much more.
