Recorded in late 1975 at the historic moment of Angola's liberation, Mutudi Ua Ufolo/Viuva Da Liberdade stands as a landmark album in African music. David Zé delivers a powerful blend of Semba rhythms and música de intervenção — music with a message — backed by a rich ensemble including guitarist José Keno, percussionists, and the Conjunto Merengue. The result is an album that achieves a remarkable balance between groove and meaning.
Like the greatest revolutionary artists, David Zé wrote music whose themes speak across generations, making Mutudi Ua Ufolo/Viuva Da Liberdade as resonant today as when it was first released. This reissue from Jazzybelle Records ensures that this important and moving record reaches the ears it deserves, offering both longtime admirers of African music and new listeners the chance to experience a true classic of its kind.
