Adrix, is broadcasting his batida beats from the interior of the United Kingdom. He sees this new album as a continuation of his first one, <em>Album Desconhecido<\/em>, released back in 2018. To understand the origins of batida, we have to take a trip to Lisbon, the cradle of a genre that has enabled many of the city&#8217;s Afro-descendants to make a place for themselves in the culture. This compendium of kuduro, zouk, batucada, kizomba, tarraxinha and house is a legacy from the African continent that can be summed up in one word: batida (loosely meaning \u201cmy rhythm\u201d in English). Transposed to frenetic electronic music, this culture helps Lisbon&#8217;s Afro-immigrant community to thrive within a society still marred by racism. Yet the batida has become an integral part of the city&#8217;s soundscape, which sees the evenings soundtracked to a patchwork of sounds that the Portuguese label <a href=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music.com\/en\/tag\/principe\/\">Pr\u00edncipe Discos<\/a> has been promoting for years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div><iframe width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" allow=\"autoplay\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/896981506&#038;color=%23ff5500&#038;auto_play=false&#038;hide_related=false&#038;show_comments=true&#038;show_user=true&#038;show_reposts=false&#038;show_teaser=true\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe><div style=\"font-size: 10px; color: #cccccc;line-break: anywhere;word-break: normal;overflow: hidden;white-space: nowrap;text-overflow: ellipsis; font-family: Interstate,Lucida Grande,Lucida Sans Unicode,Lucida Sans,Garuda,Verdana,Tahoma,sans-serif;font-weight: 100;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/principepromos\" title=\"Pr\u00edncipe\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pr\u00edncipe<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/principepromos\/b5-desenhos-animados-master\" title=\"A.k.Adrix - Desenhos Animados\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">A.k.Adrix &#8211; Desenhos Animados<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>More than two years after <em>\u00c1lbum Desconhecido<\/em>, these 11 tracks can be considered songs rather than rhythms.
