Born in Portuguese-ruled Angola, Barcel≤ De Carvalho, a.k.a. Bonga
Kwenda, had a Zairean mother and an Angolan father. He grew up in a
musseque, a working class neighborhood of Luanda, the Angolan
capital. His father played accordion in the local rebita rhythm.
After winning a 400 meter running championship, he went on to
become a much loved professional soccer player in the 1960s. But
when he turned to music, his group, Kissueia, performed songs
describing the hardship of life under Portuguese rule and
proclaimin Angolan identity and independence. Angola's right wing
Salazar regime soon forced Bonga into exile. He recorded Angola 72
in Holland that year and so launched a long career as an expatriate
singer whose heart was always pulling him homeward. The album was
banned in Angola.
Bonga first performed in the United States in 1973, as part of
mostly Lusaphone touring show put on to celebrate the recent
independence of Guinea-Bissau. The following year, while he was at
work on a new album, Angola 74 Salazar was overthrown in a military
coup. The album captures the conflicting emotions of that time, and
includes Bonga's version of the songs "Sodade," which would later
be made famous by Cape Verdean diva Cesaria Evora.
Even after Angola won its independence, Bonga stayed in Paris and
Lisbon, connecting with musicians from other Portuguese-speaking
countries--Brazil, Mozambique, Cape Verde and Guinea Bissau, and
recording Afropop albums. For many years Angola's most visible pop
artist, Bonga sings in a gruff, melancholy growl reminiscent of an
old Brazilian sambista. Within that huskiness, there's also
sweetness and vulnerability. Saddened by his country's long civil
war, Bonga pressed on with his music in order to give people
something beautiful and human with which to balance images of
strife. He continues to record soulful music of social
consciousness.
I hope u'll like this sweetness and soulful album !!
