Call it batida, kuduro, Afro house, Lisbon bass: anyone with a keen
ear for contemporary developments in global electronic dance music
can't fail to have noticed the rise in popularity and influence of
Lisbon-based DJs such as DJ Marfox, DJ Nervoso and Nídia. These
DJs and producers have brought the sound of the Lisbon projects to
the wider world via international club nights, festival
appearances, recordings and remix projects for a range of
international artists. This book uses the 2006 compilation DJs do
Guetto as a prism for exploring this music's aesthetics and its
roots in Lusophone Africa, its evolution in the immigrant
communities of Lisbon and its journey from there to the world. The
story is one of encounters: between people, sounds, neighborhoods,
technologies and cultural contexts. Drawing on reflections by DJ
Marfox and others, the book establishes DJs do Guetto as a
foundation stone not only for a burgeoning music scene, but also
for a newfound sense of pride in a place and a community.
