Mutudi Ua Ufolo/Viuva da Liberdade [LP]

David Ze - Mutudi Ua Ufolo/Viuva da Liberdade [LP]

LP version. David Zé's Mutudi Ua Ufolo/Viúva da Liberdade is a major milestone in Angolan music, intensely blending semba, rumba, and bolero, recorded at the height of the country's liberation struggle. Both soulful and political, the album resonates far beyond Luanda, carrying a universal spirit akin to that of Bob Marley. Originally released on CDA with Conjunto Merengue, it captures David Zé at his creative peak. Sung in Portuguese and local dialects, it combines rhythmic elegance with deep commitment, weaving links between Afro-Brazilian and Latin American traditions. After his assassination in 1977, the album was banned for several years, before being reborn as an essential work of resistance and beauty. In 2008, his legacy found a new echo when Damian Marley and Nas sampled "Undenge Uami" on Distant Relatives. 01. Mama Ku Dile - Mamã Não Chores 02. As Cinco Sociedades - O Isangela Itanu 03.
