Batida is DJ Mpula's vision, a multitalented producer-performer-video maker-radio DJ and under this guise, with contributions from likeminded artists, is making some of the most inspired African urban street music around. This collaboration is the result of the Angolan/Portuguese connection in Lisbon where Batida is based. Fusing the jacking high speed rhythms of kuduro with sweet melodic guitar samples of '60s Angolan semba music, 'Yumbala' is one of those jump up tracks that fills dance floors in seconds with urgent vocal delivery and conscious lyrics from Angolan MCs, Sacerdote and Dama Ivone from Luanda's Circuito Feixado. Taking the sound to the next level, Batida bring pure riotous kuduro power for 2011.

Batida's original mix of 'Yumbala' is a remastered, rebooted and recharged version of the semba infused classic that was originally featured on the now unavailable debut Batida album released in 2009 only in Portugal and Angola. This year it's ready to destroy your nearest dance floor.
