This summer, Lisbon is turning up the volume — and it starts on Friday, July 4, with the first-ever edition of KUDAPIANO. Think deep South African Amapiano beats colliding with the fiery intensity of Kuduro from Angola, all coming together for a dancefloor eruption like no other.
KUDAPIANO isn’t just a party. It’s a musical and cultural fusion, bringing together two powerhouse genres from the African continent:
Amapiano 🇿🇦: Laid-back yet hypnotic house grooves, percussion-driven and born in the townships of South Africa.
Kuduro 🇦🇴: Fast-paced, raw, and rhythmically explosive — a sound deeply rooted in Angolan street culture and dance.
On July 4th, Cargo 111 in Bairro Alto will transform into the heartbeat of Afro-Lisbon, hosting a crowd ready to sweat, connect, and celebrate through music.
Carefully handpicked for their authenticity and connection to these genres, the DJ lineup guarantees a night of nonstop rhythm and cultural depth:

This is more than a typical night out. It’s a celebration of rhythm, resistance, and roots.
✔️ Amapiano vs. Kuduro all night — full immersion from mellow basslines to heart-pounding percussive highs
✔️ Lisbon summer energy — Afro beats, open hearts, and sweat on the dancefloor
✔️ Authentic vibes — DJs who live and breathe these sounds, not just play them
✔️ A diverse, global crowd — AfroLisbon curates community, not just events
🗓 Date: Friday, July 4 – Sexta-feira, 4 de julho
