Angola killer jazz-funk. Milo MacMahon and Raúl Indipwo, arrived to Portugal in 1959 and, over next three decades, they developed an international career in the music industry. In addition to Portuguese and the various Angolan languages, the group recorded songs such as "Sylvie," "La Kwela," and "Le Palmier" in French, among others, and also covered Latin American, Spanish-speaking, Brazilian and even North American repertoires, where on their various tours they came into contact with the struggle for the Civil Rights of the black population. In 1969 Duo Ouro Negro went on tour to the United States. Their experience there was decisive for what we would come to know 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 "Dança do Robalinho." Jazz-funk at its best and now reissued for the first time in 7" format. You can't miss this jazz-funk gem made in Angola. Licensed by Ana Vitória Pereira.
