“Mariama”, a programme with African music. Bonga.
Every new Bonga is an event and a feast of recognition. As one of few he succeeds to work with the same styles and yet make them sound just a bit different every time. Familiar and slightly surprising at the same time. Since Bonga recorded his first record in Rotterdam 37-years ago his repertoire consists of a combination of styles with deep roots in Angolan music. The fast semba; jumpy rebitha; a bit more slow kizomba and dragging lamento. In Mariama a preview of his new CD Bairro, in which all these styles can be found.
