TATAU O TE PŌ 

(Translation)

I turn to the dark womb
Of the Dawn Goddess
Who fled to the door of the world of death
To become a welcoming gateway
To her children destroyed by the harsh light of day
Grow in the intense darkness
Sharpen like the black obsidian
Rise above
As a dark star

Catalogue No. AACD 075 (1xCD)/AALP 075 (2xLP)

In 2010, against all odds, Angola Soundtrack Vol.1 was awarded the German Record Critics’ Prize in the category "Black music". This victory was all the sweeter for its triumph over the predicted winner, Aloe Blacc´s multi platinium record, "Good Things".

Many were surprised that the award was handed to a compilation that covered obscure music, but it didn’t surprise the team behind Analog Africa who believed such award should have come much earlier.

Since discovering the music of Angola 15 years ago, styles such Kazucuta, Rebita and Semba have become an addiction for Samy Ben Redjeb, the compiler, who proclaimed a serious warning in the first edition liner notes:

"Listening to these tracks may cause addiction and provoke heavy rotation!"

The unique blend of incomparable musicianship, passionate delivery and regional rhythms that make these tracks so combustible are no accident. An exceptional set of circumstances existed in the history of Angola before Independence that created the giant leap in the style and standard of bands and recordings of the time.

When Portuguese repressive measures prevented the small Turmas, street musician groups, from being able to perform in Carnaval celebrations in 1961, a Portuguese civil servant, entrepreneur and Angolan music fan named Luis Montês was already in a position to capitalise on Luanda’s need for a live music scene. His self-designed “Kutonocas”, Sunday afternoon live music festivals, delighted a Luandan population hungry for a communication between the city and musseques (townships). It also forced groups to adapt to a different style of playing that would accommodate large stages and broader audiences. They equipped themselves with electric guitars, and fed on the musical influences from Cape Verde, Congo and the Dominican Republic, while staying patriotically true to their own musical legacy and unique rhythms.

The intimacy of those participating in this musical revolution meant they playfully and professionally wanted to trump each other’s style; communication between the groups was frequent as everyone studied each other’s records and concerts and players were under a lot of pressure to outdo each other due to the limited recording and performing opportunities. Development of skill and ingenuity was a must, as well as addressing the highly politicised climate. The optimism of Independence can be heard in these recordings; a common goal between the audience and musicians.

Upon reading the characteristically generous liner notes of this new Analog Africa release, you will be given more hints of the crucial melting pot that allowed this short period to have such an outstanding productivity. Featuring 44 pages acquired in coordination with the National Library of Luanda and the art magazine “Note E Dia”, Analog Africa head honcho Samy Ben Redjeb has managed to collect newspaper clips, extremely rare pictures of the bands on stage and printed interviews from the 70s.

The stunning pages of passionate photography and artistic design also include interviews with many of the original artists and their families, biographies of the three labels that made it all possible, and of Luis Montês, who was the pulse of the live music scene in Luanda.

This compilation represents the best of the short lived recording industry in Angola, a brief moment of history between 1969 and 1978, when three recording companies produced approximately 800 limited records, mostly singles. They are rare jewels, each song with a significant story and feel behind it. You will hear exciting music blazed with the anticipation of emancipation, tracks fuelled with a sense of unity, community, importance and immediacy.

This addictive, outlawed music from Angola shakes and grooves with the smoothness of staccato machine gun fire. Do yourself a favor and submerge yourself into some of the most the addictive music created by mankind!

5 months into Trump's presidency, dropping the largest non nuclear bomb in
history on Afghanistan and 525 years into the colonial system of what bell
hooks deems "imperialist white supremacist capitalist patriarchy" more
people are finding themselves and each other to resist exploitation and
destruction amidst rising fascism and ecological destruction. Although
Wells Fargo, Chase, and multinationals continue to fund the leaking
pipeline on indigenous land in North Dakota, people continue to organize.
In the middle of the largest prison system in planetary history where New
Orleans alone is the most incarcerated area on earth with plantation style
prisons built by confederates such as Angola Prison, people speak up.
Amidst Trans people being killed and people of color being murdered by the
state with no accountability from slave patrols to George Zimmerman
calling police 46 times to report people of color before Trayvon was
killed to Mike Brown laying in the sun to Sandra Bland to Philando Castile
to Charleena Lyles. While the right wing seeks to build walls and shoot
and stab people in the name of free speech, liberals blame Russia for
their problems ignoring their wall street, prison industrial, migrant
enslaving, drone assassination programs and policies. This is what hip hop
is for, spreading ideas, educating each other and coming together to fight
oppression. wake up... -Time Steele
