In 1995, Angola's musical ambassador-in-exile brought his pan-Lusitanian ensemble to Berlin for an unforgettable week-long engagement at the Heimatklange festival. This album captures one of those hot summer nights. Bonga's trademark soulful rasp rides the rolling rhythms, where Brazilian samba mixes with Angolan semba with a hint of the melancholy morna of Cape Verde. Songs of hope and celebration, songs of sadness and the pain of exile, all measured by a positive philosophy that exhorts the audience to join in and sing along.
102% live! Swinga Swinga!
