A prominent figure of Angolan music, Bonga worked side by side with world stars and gave the notion of Africanism the meaning it deserves. From Luanda to Rotterdam, from Paris to Lisbon, and everywhere else, Bonga is one of those African singers who have always hailed their roots. Immediately identifiable, with his rough and powerful voice, Bonga captures his listener from one end to the other in each of his albums. From his first album, Angola 74, famous for its legendary version of Sodade later popularized by Cesaria Evora to his last album, Recados de Fora, released in 2016.
