-----------------------------------------
Boulpik formed in Port-au-Prince around 10 years ago. They are still perpetuating an almost lost tradition of street music. Their acoustic instruments bring a hand-crafted feel to their music - a "homemade" sound that is also the sound of their country: Konpa Lakay

Explosive: a woman takes up Afrobeat!

The Yoruba, funk, jazz fusion of Afrobeat is rough, rowdy and political. It was introduced at the end of the 60s by the prince of the Nigerian resistance, Fela Anikulapo Kuti, as his country emerged from the brutal Biafran war. Fela was an “African King”, a fierce opponent of the corrupt military regime that finally sent troops to burn down the community founded by this “Black President”: the Kalakuta Republic. There, the soldiers threw his elderly mother from a window. Yet Guinea’s Sia Tolno is not afraid to take up Fela’s torch. Her third album, African Woman, challenges male supremacy in a forceful style derived from Ghanaian ‘high-life’.

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

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. 

In this song we learn  that Bonga has founded the “Bean International”, focused on the legumes that unify the Portuguese-speaking world: the black beans used in Brazil’s feijoada; makunde, the source of Angolan flour; the white beans that fill Cape Verdean catchupa; Portuguese cured beans; and so on. Betinho Feijo performs on guitar, Juvenio Cabral bass and Malauia percussion, while Bonga sings and plays the dikanza, a very long reco-reco rubbed with a stick. Flavoured with accordion and guitar, the sound is joyous as a Midsummer festival, sad as the lament of a South American exile - and uncompromising too.

Lucibela - Live @ Sfinks Mixed Festival 2017

From the album "No Ama"
(lyrics &amp; music by Mario Lucio)

Dja cria limo na modjado
Teia d'aranha na seco
Arco na parede
Cio na cumera
Agu na coco
Ami li xintadu ta spera-bo

Dja cá trocado figura
Banderas també
Ravinas calcetado
Teto capela dja nderea
Aliança dja ba dedinho
Ami li xintado ta spera-bo

Dja cria raiz na quadrado
Casamento go é cu kapa
E spada é pa torna ba mula
Orakulo dja cumpre
Abo bu ca casa
E ami li xintadu ta spera-bo

Mambá, mambá, mambá fica si...

Album recorded by Nando Andrade, assisted par Espavi, at Studio La Villa (São Vicente).
Mixed in Studio do Soul (Paris) by Stéphane Caisson &amp; José da Silva.

In “Trabessado”, one of the main titles of this album, Neuza gives an opportunity to discover curcutiçan, a traditional lyrical battle between female and male voices using irony and provocation, the women taking the men on their virility.
