“ELECTRIC 28″
The brands SUPRA Footwear and KR3W Denim and the Portuguese collective HAVE SCENARIO got together in Lisbon to introduce the collections Filthy Kr3w Forever and the Supra NS line to the trendsetters, design-lovers, sneakerheads and local fashionistas. The event took place at “Portas do Sol”, a brand new spot with an incredible view to the old city and the Tagus River.
The event was part of the official Lisbon Fashion Week after parties. The crowd was mainly fashion aficionados but the street culture elements were present due to the fact that both Supra and Kr3w have strong skater roots. J-Wow, Dinis, and Rai (Incognito) did the honours on a night that featured the Tokyo’s own Tigarah. The Japanese mc/dj is working on her new album in France and chose this occasion to visit Lisbon for the first time to spin some records.
Have Scenario is a collective of fashion-lovers driven by style who contributed their fashion knowledge to the Angolan brand MENTAL by Shunnoz e Tekasala who presented their collection at the final day of Moda Lisboa.

BATIDA “BAZUKA (QUEM ME RUSGOU?)” VIDEO
“Bazuka” is Batida’s first single and you can see it here.
Batida is a radio show broadcasted by the Fazuma family that, since 2007, promotes their favourites on everything Afro or Afro inspired urban music.
On Fazuma’s own words “This time, we dived into the archives of RTP Africa. The idea was to select images that illustrate the hidden story behind “Bazuka”, the track that started “Dance Mwangolé”. We hand-picked and mixed historical footage, with some contemporary images we collected over the last years. Others were sampled from of our documentary “É Dreda Ser Angolano”. Then we took some graphics that Roda made for the cd, Limão made a few extra illustrations, Macaco Simão did the animation and it was concluded with some post production. The need to make this video increased, because most people couldn’t get the minimal story behind “Bazuka”.
So here it is: “Bazuka” is based on the testimony of a popular in our documentary “É Dreda Ser Angolano”, who raises an unanswered question: “Who drafted me?” He was “drafted” as a child, or recruited and forced to fight in war, got lost from his family and survived with serious health problems. We found him in Luanda in 2005. He has a name. He is the unknown soldier. Has “got two pieces of shrapnel from the war, in his head” and faces a new battle everyday: The survival in time of peace. “Ya. That’s all i have to say.”
