- That is so cool. I just tried to do it, and almost tore my ACL... (Fail.)
  
  Is there anything about the dancing that MAKES it Kuduru, or is it all free styling?

- I like to see these guy take on U.S.A krump, vs. French Tecktonik, I think Angolan Kuduru could take home gold.
  What do you think? Who would come out no top in a dance battle between, Krump, Tecktonik, and Kuduru?

- Here's the new single, Sound of Kuduro, from Buraka Som Sistema, an Angolan group based in Lisbon. There's some sick examples of Kuduro on the streets of Luanda. And yes that's M.I.A. in there, too.
