In 2015, concerned about the particular memory. Today, he turns his attention to the future. Paulo Flores, one of the musicians with greater emphasis in Angola, born in Luanda on 2 July 1972, has just recorded a new album and plans to launch it in May. But this Saturday will show some live original songs, in Porto, in the House of Music (Room Suggia, 22h). The album is called Birthday Cake , and him, Paulo Flores will debut at least three songs: Work , Semba Luanda to and I came to make a semba.
“This disc turns out to be a bit more thematic, in that it speaks of what is happening in Luanda today. But it is also a more danceable disco, where I went back to a recipe that was in the beginning with quizomba, which came before the Semba, where people danced the songs and then the dance is that beginning to hear well what I I was saying. “
This concern, creasing a message is old in their songs, some of which were making real hymns in Angola changing. Today, concerned the more the future. “In previous albums, especially in The Country That Born My Father , I was very worried about what we were leaving as testimony for future generations, because I felt that we could lose references and the country be unknown to us own. At this time, as it says that my new song, Work , the world has changed, the kwanza fell, people do not have jobs or preparing to get jobs, and Angola is again upside down air. As indeed was my fear, lack of all these references in education, preparing the people. “
And what would be important to do in this scenario? As a musician and as a citizen, Paulo Flores has some suggestions. “Essentially, that people stop thinking so much in themselves and especially the government, institutions, begin to work with more substance, to think that what the people need, such as health and education, which are both that most concern me there. While we have a people so far away from what is happening in the world and in their own country, so far removed from what is actually the reality, living the majority of the population only a survival almost without dignity, I think the future looks sad and complicated. “
the new album, like its predecessor, is not extensive it has 12 songs. And that gives name to the disc ( Birthday Cake ), says Paul Flowers, “is completely different from all the others, in terms of gender, is a bit more electronic, and speaks of the right that we should all have, to be able to celebrate another year. It also speaks several adventures that take place in the lives of characters in the song, in Luanda. ”
Dancing to reflect, is his proposal today. In Luanda, but also in the House of Music.
