Synopsis
Angola's capital city pulses with the sounds of kuduro, coupé-décalé, and azonto, as urban musicians redefine the continent's music scene. "Fonko" captures the vibrant cultural expressions emerging from Africa's rapidly developing cities. The film illustrates how these genres reflect social changes and post-colonial consciousness among a new generation. Directed by Lars Lovén, the documentary presents Angola as the world's fastest growing economy, set against the backdrop of southern Europe's decline.
