We sojourn once more outside South Africa to bring you one of the more significant recordings of Angola by Teta Lando, which was issued shortly after independence.

"1961 marks the year of the start of the struggle against colonial oppression. The people's desire for freedom spread through the countryside like bushfire. The grief and pain do not mean despair because the goal of independence was clear. This long play record launching CDA captures the chant and dress expression of an artist who is the voice of the people. The need to forget the harshness of the struggle and the joy of announcing victory is signalled. Teta Lando is devoted to the people, no-one better than he could sing Indepencencia." (translated from the original liner notes)

And from various sources on the web: Alberto Teta Lando (1948 – 2008) was born in Mbanza Congo, the capital city of Zaire Province in the north of the country. His music focused on Angolan identity, the country's civil war, the saudades (nostalgia, melancholy and longing) of Angolan exiles, as well as young love and family. He spoke and sung in both the Portuguese and Kikongo languages. Among his most well known songs were "Irmao ama teu irmao" ("Brother, Love Your Brother") and "Eu vou voltar" ("I Will Return"). He died in Paris, France, on 14 July 2008, after battling cancer. During the last several years of his life, he managed to re-unite a group of many Angolan musicians.

Cesaria Evora- Bia Lulucha (Dj Julien Lebrun Edit)

This song praises honesty, justice, and the importance of being truthfully in all moments and in all relations of your life. A lie never compensates, it allways ends by desintegrating itself. Who seeds wind, shall harvest storms. 

M' biri! M' biri! (featuring the London Symphony Orchestra)

Colonial slavery forced, between invaluable other pains, the dislocation of uncountable famalies from the Souht to the North of Angola, essentially to work in coffee plantations. 
The suffering caused by this distance continued sometimes until death and lonely funerals were held without the presence of relatives to weep and sing the last farewell.
