José Massano Júnior

Angolan singer and composer, born in Luanda in 1948. After sporadic recordings in Estúdios do Norte with "Negoleiros do Ritmo", José Massano Júnior records the first single at Valentim de Carvalho studios in 1969 as the lead vocal of the "Conjunto África Show", a record that includes the songs " Mariana Dia Mbimbe "and" Minga ", a classic that tells a story of a woman, with whom Massano Júnior had a passionate relationship. In Kimbundu, the language of the creation of the author's songs, José Massano Júnior sang, with marked lyricism and intense spirituality, the realism of the occurrences of his experience, extolling love, lamenting disenchantment, addressing social conflicts, through simple narratives, timeless songs of the facts of their daily lives.
