Lisbon-based, Angola-native singer had fast-tracked to under the spotlights thanks to her featuring on Buraka Som Sistema’s ” Wegue Wegue “.
Despite naming herself after Congolese diva M’Pongo Love, Pongo does not compare unfavourably to any African diva. She blends kuduro, dancehall, electronic beats and hip hop in a personal way tailored for Lisbon’s urban ears.
She is back with the music video for “Chora”, taken from her Baia EP released this year. She takes us in a highly aesthetic and poetic journey through seasons, as a visual metaphor for her own growth, from innocence to maturity.
Pongo floats through the different scenes, where she interacts with organic 3D elements that echo her artistic outfits.
