Waldemar Bastos – Viva Angola

(Angola)

Music and lyrics by Waldemar Bastos

PlayUp preview - listen to Waldemar Bastos:

Ex-Talking Heads singer David Byrne by chance bought one of Waldemar’s albums in a Lisbon record store. Entranced by what he heard, he tracked down the singer and signed him to his Luaka Bop label for 1997’s award-winning Arto Lindsay-produced album, Pretaluz/Blacklight. The album established him on the international world music stage and since then, Waldemar has toured America, Europe and the Far East.

“As a great sports and soccer fan, I was so happy that my country Angola, qualified for the World Cup. When asked to write a song for the ‘Play Up’ compilation, I felt honoured and inspired to write a song that hopefully could length many World Cup’s of Angola to come.”
