	Music - Capoeira Angola
		Capoeira Angola is more than just movement, it is also music, and to have knowledge of music is required by every performer of Capoeira Angola.
		The music is important with regard to the spirituality of the art; it helps us to liberate ourselves, both those who play the music and those who play capoeira.
		Capoeira music has the advantage that its rhythms are relatively simple, that it works with different kinds of harmonies and that it makes room for everybody.

	Angola: Afropop Country -- Southern Africa
		In a sense, Angola has never recovered from the extensive and brutal slave trade that unfolded after Diogo Cão--the first European explorer to visit the area--entered the mouth of the Congo River in 1483.
		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.
		Soul of Angola, an excellent compilation of singles recorded between 1965 and 1975, is one of the only places where this nearly-lost era of Angolan music can still be heard.

	Rock Paper Scissors - Bonga, Kaxexe (Times Square) - Press Release
		Around the time that Angola’s independence movement was taking hold in the mid-1960s, a young runner for the national track team set the record for the 400-meter dash.

		My first introduction to the music of Angola was in 1997.
		And in the last two years, while a number of new clubs such as Hollywood have opened up, the gigging situation hasn't changed and the city is bereft of live music.
		Radio and television offer little support - the emphasis is on American content in music programmes on TV, and the big commercial radio stations such as FM Stereo stick almost exclusively to American hit radio.

		The two single biggest influences on Sri Lankan music are from Buddhism and Portuguese colonizers.
		The earliest stars of Sri Lankan recorded music came from the theater, where the traditional, open-air dramatic culture (kolam or sokari or nadagam) remained the most popular form of entertainment until well into the 20th century.
		The native pop-filmi music dominated the market in Sri Lanka during the late 1960s and early 1970s, but by the end of the decade, Indian film and music again became the best-selling sector of the Sri Lankan music industry.

		Student question: You mentioned that before independence chimurenga music were rural songs, and that during the War of Liberation chimurenga were protest songs.
		Mapfumo would probably say that there is continuity between the two; he developed his style in urban areas as "protest" music and he was imprisoned because of it.

		This represented a big setback for music in Angola, although his band Ngola Ritmos played on without him, influencing a new generation of musicians.
		Angola's musicians are forced to record in Europe, the U.S.A. or elsewhere, because local recording facilities have fallen into disrepair.
		Unfortunately, Angola lacks facilities to train young artists, so even though some new names have emerged, including Van, Zan, Tirso Amaral, Alvim and Antonio Ole, their work is heavily abstract as they lack further formal training and international exposure.

	Angola Things To Do - Travel Guides - VirtualTourist.com
		Angola has a wonderful tradition of Music and Dance and because of slavery Angola exported the general and musical culture to both North and South America.
		This dance is connected to Kaduke de Mbaka (Angola), and gave rise to one of the most popular dances in Luanda, which goes by the name of masemba "belly-dances", (the plural of semba).
		It was natural, as I have already said, that as opposed to what Camara Cascudo claims, in those big isolated plantations with the master tucked away in his big house with his family, at night, outside in the yard, the slaves should gather around and ask God to take them back to their homeland.

		Yet for the five thousand men who enter the gates for the first time as young men, never to leave again, it is a place of infamy, a land of suffering, of shattered lives and discarded souls.
		It is a tale of life and death without hope, but the characters and the day to day life are often surprising, with death row banquets, guards who raise their families on the grounds, and annual rodeos for entertainment.

	Music of Angola - Slipcue E-Zine African Music Guide
		Angola became ground zero for a fierce regional political struggle which included military and economic advisors from Cuba, and rightist guerillas, sponsored by South Africa and the U.S. Despite the political tension, some lovely music has come out of the Angola, notably the albums of Bonga, who is one of the nation's most revered artists.
		The music is great, as are the liner notes, which among other things describe how many of the best bands were torn apart, politically co-opted -- and in some cases murderously liquidated -- by various military factions following the 1974-75 independence from Portugal.
		Tinder Records has been one of the most exciting "world music" labels of recent years, and has certainly led the pack in the lusophone scene...
