Lobito — "Tons Intercalados" is the title of the most recent record by the artist Zeca Moreno, presented Sunday in Lobito, coastal province of Benguela.

Speaking to ANGOP at the sale and autograph session, Zeca Moreno explained that his fifth CD, with ten musical tracks, includes the styles such as lodongo, characteristic of the central part of the country, semba, kazucuta and rumba.

"I send a positive message to all generations in the sense of thinking about the country and I also talk about social behaviors that greatly influence our lives", he stressed.

Regarding his production, the artist said that it took two years of work, with the help of renowned singers and instrumentalists in the national market.

This is the second CD, after Luanda, as it is the city where he started his career and he is already considering taking it to other cities in the country.

Zeca Moreno started his career in the 1970s, in Lobito, Benguela, accompanied by the group "Os Bongos".

Until that time, he had recorded a single with the songs "Madalena", the best known of his repertoire, and "Solidão".

He interrupted his career in 1974 due to responsibilities in the political and governmental sphere, having resumed in 2004, with more regularity. Till date, he has five record works on the market.
