Our Take

If there's one thing that BATIDA knows how to do, it's take us on a sonic journey like no other. And their latest album, "Neon Colonialism," is no exception. From the moment you press play, you're transported to a world where funky beats and catchy melodies reign supreme.

The album kicks off with the infectious "Lisboa Blues," a track that will have you tapping your feet and nodding your head in no time. BATIDA's signature blend of electronic and traditional African sounds is on full display here, creating a sound that is as unique as it is irresistible.

As you make your way through the album, you'll find yourself dancing to the pulsating rhythms of "Kuduro Dance," getting lost in the dreamy vibes of "Luanda City Blues," and feeling the energy of "São Paulo Nightlife." Each track is a testament to BATIDA's ability to blend genres and cultures seamlessly.

But what truly sets "Neon Colonialism" apart is its bold and thought-provoking lyrics. BATIDA tackles issues of power, privilege, and exploitation with a raw honesty that is both refreshing and necessary. It's rare to find an album that can make you dance and make you think at the same time, but BATIDA pulls it off with style.

In the end, "Neon Colonialism" is a triumph. It's a testament to BATIDA's talent and vision, and a testament to the power of music to unite us all. So put on your dancing shoes, crank up the volume, and let BATIDA take you on a journey you won't soon forget.
