2001 release. Beneath the exterior of Lisbon's crumbling grandeur lie many secrets, not least its vibrant African music scene. As the capital of Portugal, Lisbon is the home-away-from-home of people from all the Portuguese-speaking countries of Africa, which are known collectively by the acronym PALOP. Here (if you know where to look) are the studios and clubs where musicians, dancers, and scene-makers from Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, São Tomé, Angola, and Mozambique meet, mix, and enjoy themselves. Discover the enchanting voices, irresistible melodies, and sensuous rhythms of PALOP Africa, featuring Paulo Flores, Bonga, Africa Negra, Manecas Costa, Biús, Sema Lopi, Nany, G Mario Ntimana, and Don Kikas.
