In 1969 Duo Ouro Negro went on tour to the United States. Their experience there was decisive for what would come to be known three years later. "Don't forget your blackground" Raul Indipwo would exclaim in 1972, the voice of Blackground, the Angolan band's landmark album. Awakened to the activism of Black Power, attentive to the jazz that was being created on American soil, combined with an interest in the independence movements of the African colonies, what was then the most international of Portuguese bands recorded an album in Lisbon that was a vibrant cultural statement through music. In 1981, Blackground was revised with new arrangements, including the instrumental "Iemenjá" and "Aruandaí." Jazz-funk at its best and now re-edited by digei de bairro. You can't miss this jazz-funk gem made in Angola. Download card included.
