Luanda — Angolan musician Ângelo Bengue, living in Germany, is set to enter in the national music market next May with the album entitled "Longe de Ti (far from you)".
Speaking to ANGOP, the singer stated that the CD that was totally produced in German studios with the support of Darksave Productions consists of 13 tracks, from which three were sang in Kikongo vernacular language.
"I live in Germany for over 20 years, but I seek, in a certain manner, to be integrated with the country's reality. This is why I decided to sing some songs in Kikongo, although I do not speak this vernacular language very well", he said.
As a way to identify him with the land where he was born, the singer stressed that he has prepared a CD with tracks portraying the lives of Angolans in the diaspora.
This is Ângelo Bengue's first CD. The musician started singing as a child in the chorus group of Santo António parish (Catholic Church), in Luanda.
