Carlos Lamartine e Conjunto Merengue
Angola Ano 1 Liberdade, cda 1975

Eentje uit Angola’s 1975 is deze met Carlos Lamartine en zijn Conjunto
Merengue. Zij brengen een relaxte vorm van semba, twaalf mellow songs
op ‘Angola Ano 1’. De elpee vertelt het verhaal rond de strijd om onafhan-
kelijkheid. Angola ano 1, Angola jaar 1, alsof de jaartelling opnieuw begon
in 1975. De onafhankelijkheid was een feit maar de onrust duurde door.
Het klinkt cru maar narigheid brengt vaak de mooiste muziek voort ..

Today we have this album from 1975 with Carlos Lamartine and his
Conjunto Merengue. They bring this very relaxed type of semba, twelve
mellow songs on ‘Angola Ano 1’. The record tells the story of the struggle
for independence. Angola ano 1, Angola year 1, the beginning of a new era
in 1975. Independence was a fact but unfortunately instability remained for
a long time. It sounds harsh but trouble often creates beautiful music ..
