Luanda, The Music Factory
Luanda, the Music Factory (original title: Luanda, a Fábrica da Música is a 2009 documentary film about Kuduro directed by Inês Gonçalves and Kiluanje Liberdade.

Synopsis
In the middle of a Luanda slum (musseque), DJ Buda owns a recording studio, giving the opportunity to young singers to express themselves. Rhyming at Buda's beats, kids shout out all their worries and everyday experiences to his old micro with an incredible energy. In the end they dance joyfully, laugh and listen to their own work with the inhabitants of the neighbourhood.

A new music and parties' market is exploding with the new generation.
