Since his debut in 1972 with his masterpiece Angola 72, BONGA has established himself as one of the greatest voices in world music. This BEST OF BONGA proves it, if proof were needed, with a selection of his most essential tracks: Mulemba Xangola (duet with Lura), Mona Ki Ngi Xica, his biggest hit, Kaxexe, Bairro, Agua Rara, and his version of Sodade, created long before Cesaria Evora - as well as two previously unreleased remixes of Sodade and Kaxexe by Dutch collective Arp Frique. 20 tracks, for an album that retraces the best of BONGA's discography, the golden voice of Angola.
