Bebucho

One of the most iconic bands to come out of West Africa with a global influence. While there are so many great songs from this comeback album (title translates as "After the Silence"). I wanted to post this as a tribute to all my friends from Guineé Bissau, whom I adore for their warmth and good spirits! Kuma ku bu sta?

Bonga's brand new album "Hora Kota", a remedy for the blues.
Release date : February 13th, 2012

Kambua, the spoilt dogs of the rich and hungry dogs of the poo

Hora Kota: The Time of the Elders.
This is Bonga's thirtieth album - his fifth on the Lusafrica label - featuring eleven faultless new songs reporting on the state of his native Angola where he is again living after a very long absence. Bonga is a sincere man with broad shoulders. He knows how to dig in his heels and push back. The French singer Bernard Lavilliers appreciates that, as he does Bonga's husky voice and blues that ring true. So the album has two special tracks, two duets: Angola, released by Lavilliers on Causes perdues et musiques tropicales (Lost Causes and Tropical Music), and Dikanga with Agnès Jaoui.

Bonga - Kambuá

S`na mundo tem mornas e mornas dedicód
Tónt morna bô te mereçê
S`beleza ta trazê inspiração
Esse bô beleza, ê más cum belo horizonte
Infeitód cum bom pôr do sol
Ô um arco-íris mut bem d`stacód.
Amim djam cria ser poeta
Pám fazê um mar di poesia
Pám cumpará que`ss bô beleza d`natureza
Parsem nem mar, nem lua cheia
Nem sol brilhante, nem noit serena
Ta cumpará q`bô formosura e bô corpo.
Pombinha mansa di odjos meigos sem maldade
Bô corpo formoso mas sem vaidade
T`armá quess bô sorriso inocente
Sorriso doce qui ta espertá alguem ambição
Nem q`for d`box tud humilhação
`m crê comquistá bô coração.
