Progressivu

PROGRESSIVU is Mário Costa "When Lisbon was not yet Madonna's, Buraka Som Sistema invented a new sound. Kuduro progressive, they called it at the time, to seal the agreement between the underrated rhythms of Angola and the London front line. In Mora, Mário Costa heard the call and it came. On a night when the band playing at Aula Magna left the chairs powerless, Progressivu was born. The name was not but the dream in the blank notebook. The change proposed by Buraka Som Sistema took time but left good genes. Progressivu is contemporary of this transformation that helped change the sound of Lisbon, which became a cultural shock pacified by rhythm. He was a guest at the Hard Ass Sessions, gave beatings after beatings in Copenhagen with Kking Kong (now PEDRO), and the junction between two forces was born in Na Surra - an instant classic of the Lisbon nightlife in which it is resident. Progressivu is body in heart, beat without ethnicity or religion, it is Lisbon looking at the Tagus and welcoming new musical explorers curious about the capital rhythm." - text by Davide Pinheiro. .
