Os Vagabanda - "Inove"

2008 Musseke-Kuduro

"Inove", the success from 2008 from Os Vagabanda. It starts to be eard everywhere, in kandongueiro's blue vans, in a group of friends drinking bears stoped at border of the roads. From homes, with a party or whithout a party.

"Inove! - Assim é que tá bater!", is the cry from Luanda youth, and it means that things are going alright!

Let me translate it to you:

"Inove" it's an abreviation/neologism from a question.

Like: "How are things going in the Summer?"

The answer: "It's beating!" (Going well)

So, in portugese:

Question - "Inove?" = "E no Verão?"

Answer - "Tá Bater!" = (Está muito bem)

Elocubration:

"And Summering?"

"It's beatin up!"
