From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Portuguese hip hop (Hip hop português)
more usually known as Hip Hop Tuga is the Portuguese variety of hip hop music.
Hip Hop Tuga is different from mainstream hip hop because it has
strong influences from African music from Lusophone Africa and reggae. It is often performed by
African-Portuguese artists, descendants from African immigrants
that came to Portugal after the independence of its former African
colonies.
