About Bonga

Angolan folk and semba singer/songwriter Bonga Kuenda (born José Adelino Barceló de Carvalho in Kipiri) is one of his country's most important post-independence vocalists. A blend of Angolan, Portuguese, and Brazilian influences, Bonga's music has been described as "Latin sentimentality with a touch of Gypsy and Flamenco." Originally a professional athlete, Bonga attracted attention with his husky voice and pro-independence songs in the early '70s. Forced into exile, Bonga divided his time between Paris and Lisbon. Following Angola's independence in 1979, Bonga returned to his homeland and performed with the government-supported orchestra Semba Tropical. Bonga's 1996 album, Swinga Swinga (The Voice of Angola 102% Live), was recorded during his performance at the HeimatKlänge Festival in Berlin the previous year. ~ Craig Harris, Rovi
