Chalo Correia is a talented singer-songwriter born in Luanda, the capital of Angola, in 1968. He lived his childhood in the most intense and blazing music period of Angola (70s). During that time he got to meet musicians from revolutionary bands like Os Merengues, and Os Kiezos that would influence his future music. Chalo faces the challenge of creating new original songs with acoustic instruments, towards creating a distinctive sound that aims to innovate the Angolan music but with respecting the origins. The organic and explosive sounds of the traditional styles semba, rebita, rumba and kazucuta are presented by his peculiar way of song writing with a contemporary vision. His lyrics are influenced by memories of his life in Angola, and the life experience in the multicultural environment of Lisbon. Chalo is the great promise of a new generation of Angolan musicians.
