Crammed Discs
Issued by Crammed Discs, “Neon Colonialismo” is the new album (the first under his own artistic persona since 2014) by Batida aka Pedro Coqueñao, the Angolan born, Lisbon-raised artist who is viewed as a major catalyst of the Afro-electronic scene.
Carried by subtle and refined electronic production, the ten tracks alternate between vocal and instrumental songs and travel across the Portuguese-speaking world, from Portugal to Angola through Cabo Verde and Brazil.
The album features many distinguished guests: DJ Satelite, Bonga, Mayra Andrade, Poté, Nástio Mosquito, Ikonoklasta, Octa Push, Lia de Itamaracá, DJ Dolores, João Morgado, Botto Trindade, Pedro da Linha & Branko.
