		Their efforts to subdue and subjugate peoples in the interior led to a century of fighting, as Angolans continued to resist.
		A period of relative prosperity and industrial progress followed, but growing nationalist sentiments led to the formation of many political parties, which ultimately came together as the Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA) and the Bakongo-dominated National Front for the Liberation of Angola (FNLA).
		But Angola's indigenous rhythms, such as the semba--ancestor of the Brazilian samba--and rebita were also widely used, and rhythms from Brazil and the Caribbean, particularly merengue, also turn up in the rich recordings from this era.

		Bonga Kuenda, the politically outspoken Angolan athlete turned pop star, hasn't changed much since his music career began in the Seventies.
		His voice is still endearingly raspy, his lyrics still speak of the heartbreak his country continues to endure, and his music is still a gorgeous mix of styles culled from the former Portuguese empire -- Angola, Brazil, Cape Verde, and Portugal itself.
		Much of Bonga's music has been called semba, an Angolan precursor to Brazilian samba, and there's some of that on Kaxexe (In Hiding), most notably in "Marimbondo," which comes across as a samba with the volume knob turned slightly down.
