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.

Boy Ge Mendes - Nha Tchon

Born on the border of Angola and Congo in 1954, Waldemar Bastos started singing and making music at an early age. "Five centuries of colonisation meant that when I was growing up I heard many songs from many different cultures," he explains.
As well as the African sounds he heard a lot of Brazilian music; the Beatles, Nat King Cole, the Bee Gees and Carlos Santana as early non-African influences.
But with an independence war raging, Angola was not an easy place to live. When he was still at school, Waldemar was detained and imprisoned by the Portuguese colonial secret police without reason. After Angola eventually achieved its independence in 1975, bloody civil war engulfed the country. Waldemar reluctantly concluded that this was not a climate in which musicians could develop and grow, and following a visit to Portugal in 1982, he decided not to return. He did not stay in Portugal for very long. Lisbon has always been to “close” to Luanda, and since Waldemar feared reprisals, he went to Berlin, West Germany, where he had some friends.

Waldemar remained in Germany for a few months. Then he left to Brazil, where he became acquainted with some well known musicians, such as Chico Buarque, João do Vale, Elba Ramalho, Djavan and Clara Nunes, among many others who had been in Angola in the late seventies, integrated in the Kalunga Project. This Project was the largest Brazilian artistic delegation to ever visit another country.

Things went well in Brazil, with some of the above-mentioned artists demonstrating, in practice, the real meaning of recognition and solidarity. Waldemar ends up finding a label interested in his work, EMI-Odeon, and records his first album. The well-known “Estamos Juntos”, a definitive landmark in Waldemar Bastos’ career, includes the theme “A Velha Chica” (“Xê, little boy, don’t talk politics”), and had, among others, Chico Buarque, João do Vale, Dorival Caimmy, Martinho da Villa and Novelli as special guests.
In 1985, he settled in Lisbon, recording his second album Angola Minha Namorada in 1990 and Pitanga Madura in 1992.
In 1997, invited by David Byrne from Luaka Bop, Waldemar Bastos records in New York, the album Pretaluz with Arto Lindsay.
Waldemar Bastos most recent album, Renascence contains much that his fans will find reassuringly familiar. And yet also with more energy and passion.

Building bridges with music as a universal language combining African heritage with contemporary Europe.
