Biography

Bonga Kwenda (born José Adelino Barceló de Carvalho), better known as Bonga, is a pop singer and songwriter from Angola. Bonga was born in 1943 in the province of Bengo, and left Angola at age 23 to become an athlete, becoming the Portuguese record holder for the 400 metres (Angola was at the time one of Portugal's five African colonies). He had already begun his singing career at age 15.

5.0 out of 5 stars The real Angolanos, December 16, 2000
By 
"nado03" (St. Louis, MO United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Traditional Angolan Music (Bonga Angola) (Audio CD)
I love this CD because it show the real sounds of Angola. Bonga didn't try to be like the Angolanos of today that copy the sounds of other countries and their peoples. In this 1971 album, Bonga used his own musical tradition to emphasize the Angolan spirit in their fight for independance from Portugal. Real Angolanos KNOW AND PLAY THE TRADITION.
