Invitee of the month is Mehdi, who has a particular taste for 70’s music from Africa and the Middle East on vinyl. To fully understand the music produced in a certain era, one has to understand the political context as well, and this is undoubtedly the case for Angola, Portugal’s largest former African colony and the backdrop of a tumultuous war for independence, revolution, civil war and the last hot battles of the cold war.

After the previous show “A trip through Lusafrica”, Martiko digs deeper into the music of Angola from the years from its independence (1975) through the civil war and until the end of the cold war in 1992: songs of revolutionary fervor, semba tropical, merengues and socialist propaganda... this is the soundtrack of Angola la rouge.
