History:
Kuduro (or kuduru) is a type of music and dance originally developed in Angola in the 1980s. The name of the dance was referring to a peculiar movement in which the dancers seem to have a hard ass ("Cu Duro" in Portuguese). According to Tony Amado, self-proclaimed creator of Kuduro, he got the idea for the dance, after seeing Jean-Claude Van Damme in the 1989 film Kickboxer, in which he appears in a bar drunk, and dances in a hard and unusual style. Nowadays 2 Kurudo dance styles co-exist, a basic one close to in line dance, and another Kurudo close to hip hop and coupé décalé moves.
