Well known Mozambican kizomba act Ritmo Da Lusofonia releases a brand new single titled “Amiga Bandida” .
Ritmo Da Lusofonia has constructed an entire lane of hilarious relationship-drama song titles and this one fits right in. The project is obviously having fun translating everyday love chaos into music, as evidenced by pieces like “Teu Ex É Teu Vizinho” and “Na Cama É Bandida.” So “Amiga Bandida,” which loosely plays on the idea of a not-so-innocent buddy, carries on that theme.
The production delves into the silky, seductive region of kizomba. Which was built on subtle percussion, and a continuous, swaying rhythm. Nothing is in a hurry here, and that patience fits with the genre’s dance-first character. As the groove is constant, the music works as effectively on all occasions.
The vocal delivery on Ritmo Da Lusofonia – Amiga Bandida has the usual enthusiasm that has been a hallmark of this outfit. It feels less like a performance, more like someone breaking down the specifics of a friend’s dodgy behaviour. Nothing in “Amiga Bandida” is out of character with what this project already accomplishes well. That emphasis maintains the catalogue feeling continuous from release to release.
