Expressing very clearly his political opinions on the internal affairs of his island, and supporting from day one the revolutionary party that took power after the independence obtained from Portugal on July 12, 1975, the islanders called him &#8220;A voz do povo de Sao Tom\u00e9&#8221; which means the voice of the people of the island. The Santomean musician&#8217;s album Maguidala, first recorded in 1985, will therefore be re-released by the Swiss label Bongo Joe Records in July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div><iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=3560249483\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" seamless loading=\"lazy\"><a href=\"http:\/\/pedrolimasaotome.bandcamp.com\/album\/maguidala\">Maguidala by Pedro Lima<\/a><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The track &#8220;Maguidala&#8221; from Pedro Lima&#8217;s eponymous album follows in the footsteps of the other tracks on this bewitching LP.
