Producer, musician, radio host and DJ Batida was born in Angola and raised in Lisbon, Portugal. With a unique blend of electronic beats, traditional African rhythms, and urban sounds, Batida has carved out his own distinct style. Drawing inspiration from his Angolan roots and the vibrant music scene in Lisbon, he creates infectious tracks that get people moving.
His music is often compared to artists like Buraka Som Sistema, Rocky Marsiano, and Orelha Negra. Collaborating with talented musicians such as Konono N°1 and Busy Twist, Batida's sound transcends borders and genres. His energetic live performances have captivated audiences around the world.
In addition to his musical pursuits, Batida also hosts a popular radio show where he showcases emerging talent from Africa and beyond. His passion for promoting diverse voices is evident both in his music and his role as a curator.

The debut album from Batida, the brainchild of Angolan / Portuguese DJ Pedro Coquenão. A distinctly modern and vibrant project with its feet firmly rooted in the past, Batida combine samples from old 1970s Angolan tracks with modern electronic dance music. Music is the starting point but through dance, graphics, photography, radio and video, Batida expands, taking in politics and social commentary but always bringing it back to the party.What originally started out as a radio show designed to promote new African music has slowly evolved into a collaborative project crossing continents.Whereas nearly all of kuduro (Angolan electronic music) has no links with its country's musical heritage, it is deeply engrained in Batida's music. Sampling tracks from 1970s Angola, Batida is a reinterpretation of Angola's musical past, bringing it firmly into the modern day.
