Eddy Tussa exibe canções do álbum “Príncipe do Semba”.

O artista foi acompanhado pelo grupo tradicional Semba Muxima e sua banda, composta por Lito Graça (bateria), Mestre Benjamim (baixo), Cláudio (guitarra solo), Yark Spin (guitarra ritmo), Miqueias Ramiro (teclados) e Lolito (dikanza), que apresentaram do repertório as famosas "Vou Ficar Fininho", "Amor a Mwangolê", "Se Apoderou", "Margarida" e outras canções que destacam a carreira do artista.

Em entrevista ao Jornal de Angola, Eddy Tussa fez um balanço positivo da sessão de vendas do seu novo álbum, ocorrida em 4 de Abril. "Conseguimos vender todas as cópias que levamos para a Praça da Independência", afirmou.

O álbum "Príncipe do Semba" conta com 15 faixas musicais, incluindo as já conhecidas "Marcela", "Bessangan", "Para te Agradar" e "Fala Comigo". Inclui também "Samba Monami", de Robertinho, e homenageia Mamukeno em "Rei do Palhetinho" e "Idimakaji".

Eddy Tussa colaborou com compositores como Punidor, Tony do Fumo, Guilhermino, Kenny Buss e Chilola de Almeida, apostando no estilo semba, mas também incluindo kizomba, zouk e rumba. O disco conta com participações especiais de Madrilena e Mago de Sousa em "Atributos" e "Fala Comigo".

Conceição Bartolomeu António, conhecido artisticamente como Eddy Tussa, iniciou sua trajetória musical no grupo Warrant B, junto a Kenny Bus, Meyv e Papetchulo. Com o grupo, gravou "Batalha" em 1999, "Perfil Adequado" em 2003 e "Preço da Fama" em 2007.

Em 2009, Eddy Tussa iniciou sua carreira solo, mudando drasticamente do rap para o semba. Dessa nova fase, lançou os álbuns "Izenu nu tale", "Grandes Mundos" e "Kassembele". Como reconhecimento pelo seu trabalho na promoção da música angolana, foi nomeado príncipe do semba em 2 de Maio de 2021 pelo então ministro da Cultura, Turismo e Ambiente, Jomo Fortunato.

Honda FMX650

What I like in posting about custom bikes is that they don't get old. I used to run a car blog, sharing thoughts about particular models, reviewing, comparing, brainstorming... The issue was that a 2009 Subaru Impreza WRX is only a hot topic for a couple of months. In 2010 - it's completely gone. Nobody reads about it, searches for it. Read the full article

!!!Two idiots in Love!!!

Chapter ´s list / Next Chapter 1/? , This is just a pilot fic that I planned to turn into comic if i have time. Word Count: 1490

Warning: Portuguese in some parts, black y/n, friends to lovers, slow burn , siblings idiotice, ryoma hoshi x reader, highschool au. Artist´s credit

Word count: 1410

Your name is Muxima Kapuka, an Angolan transfer student in Japan; that was recently transferred due to your dad wanting to research new opportunities of work…

But You don’t think it was a good idea.. Even tho all of you didn’t have much in your country, we were sustainable on your own..but now you have less , living tighter spaces but still up float.

You were put in a high school to start your 10 th grade and which was ok to say to say the least but you were the only black person in school. Your hair was kinky and fluffy. A 4c hair is pure beauty , 1.75 m, dark brown skin , some small eye bags ( made by stress) and usually wears the male uniform due to being more comfortable to you.

You were used to being left alone due to most people finding more “fascinating beings” than humans; but even though you were used to that solitude it didn’t stop being difficult to deal with that isolation.

You were trying to pay attention in class by writing while the teacher spoke but they were speaking so fast that your pen slipped in the process.

You were looking around for your pen but you couldn’t find it until: 

-Here!- A really deep voice tells that

You got really scared that you slowly turn back really worried of what will appear and when you saw you could only say:

Oh! Thanks-

you’re welcome- he replies. 

His appearance was unique, he has a dark brown hair, black eyes and Rosie cheeks and nose. He was Ryoma Hoshi , the shortest man in high school , he had a 1.05m but those were the only remarkable things that he had. His grades were kinda good but not remarkable and he also participated in the tennis club.

You thought to yourself “ Maybe he can be my friend? Yeah maybe. But HOW??? Maybe at lunch time, I can talk to him”.

You turn your back and look at him. He looks at you a bit nervous not being sure if you wanted to talk to him or another person; you smile at him and say;

Hey, do you want to have lunch with me later?

He looks even more confused and say:

Are you talking to me?

Yes -you answered 

Are you… sure? -he asks you almost in disbelief and confusion

Yes! - you answered firmly 

O-Ok then? - he tells seemingly in shocked

After that interaction, Ryoma started to question your intentions.

At the Lunch time; you reunited with him , he was silently eating while you appeared and suddenly became a little nervous.

You were eating and wanted to start a conversation:

Hey! What do you like to do?- 

Eh…Tennis nothing much really..-he answers awkwardly 

Cool! It is really important to stay active.- you answer in a uplifting tone

Do you..participate in any sports?- He questions you

Oh… I used to.. I was a swimmer awhile back; I participated in five competitions and won in the last!..But we didn’t have the money to continue that career… But it’s fine.- you finished awkwardly 

Hum.. sorry. Maybe you can participate in swim time- he answers trying to uplift you.

Heh..Maybe- you smile kinda awkward 

Do you…What do you like to do?- he asks you 

Oh! I like to draw , sew and play guitar sometimes- you answer really happy 

But it isn’t something that interesting…-you down play it 

No. It’s kinda interesting..- he tries to continue to push the conversation.

OH REALLY!! I HAVE SO MANY THINGS TO SAY!! You see, what I usually draw is- you start to ramble and talk to him until lunchtime was over.

He was listening carefully and sweetly for everything you said even participating in it.

After that exchange you decide to help him around , reaching up to high places so can get his stuff or just follow him around when he doesn't want to talk; he was slowly getting more angry when you're around him until he said:

Stop babying me…-

What?..-You look at him confused

I didn't ask for your help..or for you to following me…-

Sorry I just thought that you wanted to help you…- You try to explain.

I STILL DIDN'T ASKED…JU-Just stop following me..-

Later that Ryoma was assigned to clean the classroom alone, it was normal for him to do this , he didn’t want to be a dead wheat for anyone so he just helped this way; but when the school was almost close and he wasn’t close to finishing,you appear to help him.

He was so confused and asked:

Why are you here? You should be at home..-

You need help so I’m here- you say it while rolling your sleeves.

Ah? No! That’s not enough to help me and you know it. First ,You join me for lunch, then you help me around without me asking and when I still ask you to stop , you're still helping me?..- He looks at you confused 

The only thing that I did was give back your pencil; you know? -  he finalizes it.

Well yeah but you listen to me and also you’re always lonely and since I’m lonely too… I just decided that we, lonely people, should stay together!-

Humf..Whatever..- he looks aside and tries to hide his smile-

It was night but everything was finally organized and cleaned; you two started to direct to the exit of the school in silence, until Ryoma said:

You didn’t have to do it but thank you anyway.-

You’re welcome, bud.- you answered happily

MANAAAAAA- a voice screams  from the exit door

You two look at what it was but it was possible to see it due to being dark where they were. They started to run in your direction , Ryoma was visibly scared and froze in the spot and asked:

WHO THE FUCK IS THAT?-

My sister..- you answered scared

Her look was revealed, she was a kid around 10 to 11 years old, light-brown skin, short 3c hair around 1,20m and visibly angry at you.

You tried to protect your chest , ‘cause you knew you couldn’t run faster than her; she closed her fist , jumped and punched your stomach at such speed and strength that made you immediately fall over.

You were grueling from agony but she only picked up your shoulders and shake you furiously while saying:

TU. SABES. O QUÃO. PREOCUPADA. ESTAVA. CONTIGO?-

Olá para ti também - you answered sarcastically 

PORQUE CARALHOS FICASTE A ESCOLA ATÉ ESTAS HORAS?? Nem atendes o telefone..- She looks at you so done of you

Eh..Não é permitido atender o telefone nas aulas?..-You try to find a excuse.

Às tuas aulas terminam às 17 horas… SÃO 19 HORAS?!?- She is even more furious than before 

You look at Ryoma ,trying to find some help from Ryoma but he wasn’t understanding a single word of this exchange sohe gives you a look of “I don’t know” ; she looks at what Ryoma furiously but when she looked eyes on him , her anger turned into worry and kinda disgust, she says slowly:

Tu..viraste uma pedófila?…- she covers her mouth 

EU NÃO SOU PEDÓFILA NENHUMAAAA- you scream from anger

Sorry but I’m a bit confused..-Ryoma spoke worriedly , she jumped back and put her fists up.

Aquele é a voz dele???- she questions it scared from her live-

Sim… O nome dele é Ryoma Hoshi; é um amigo da minha sala..- you explain how he is,looking really exhausted-

Ele foi a razão de teres demorado? - she questions you

Sim…Ele só precisava de uma  ajuda na limpeza mas demorou mais que o esperado..- you explain the situation to her.

Ok se é isso.. Hello, my name is Kiari Kapuka. Nice to meet you- she tells that to Ryoma.

Eh.. Nice to meet you Kiari, I’m Ryoma Hoshi- he looks away awkwardly.

If you don’t mind, I will take my sister to her home- she holds your hand and starts to push you to go.

He-HEY!! ESPERA!! SEE YOU LATER RYOMA!!- you wave at him telling him goodbye

Bye !…-he waves back at you real awkwardly and questioning if this is how siblings work

When you and your sister are far enough, she questions:

Começaste a namorar e nem me avisas?..-

Ele não é o meu namorado , só um potencial amigo.- you respond to her

Pelo menos, isso é bom- she finalizes it

[visitafrica-today]

Luanda is the capital and largest city in Angola. It is Angola's primary port, and its major industrial, cultural and urban centre. Located on Angola's northern Atlantic coast, Luanda is Angola's administrative centre, its chief seaport, and also the capital of the Luanda Province. Luanda and its metropolitan area is the most populous Portuguese-speaking capital city in the world, with over 8 million inhabitants in 2019 (a third of Angola's population).

Luanda, the capital of Angola, is on the Atlantic coast. Its current renaissance is an inspiring success story. Decades of conflict, which only ended in 2002, had long held Angola back. Since the start of the 21st century there has been a massive boom in construction in Luanda, where peace and stability have attracted numerous foreign companies to invest in offices in the city.

Luanda is divided into two parts, the Baixa de Luanda (lower Luanda, the old city) and the Cidade Alta (upper city or the new part). The Baixa de Luanda is situated next to the port, and has narrow streets and old colonial buildings >> Visit Luanda, Angola

The climate of Luanda is largely influenced by the offshore Benguela current. Temperatures are fairly stable year-round, with the mildest months being between May (29° max/23° min) and October and the warmest months being November (31° max/25° min) and April >> Visit Luanda, Angola

Attractions; National Museum of Slavery (Museu Nacional da Escravatura), Built in the area where the slaves were held prior to being taken off to the Americas. The museum building is the Capa de Casa Grande, which is where they baptized slaves prior to sending them off to the Americas > Visit Luanda, Angola

History;

Luanda was founded in 1575 under the name São Paulo de Loanda by a hundred families of settlers and four hundred soldiers. Two forts were constructed in the early 17th century and the city became Portuguese Angola's administrative centre in 1627. From the late 16th century until 1836, Luanda was the port where nearly all slaves bound for Brazil left. Aside from a brief period of Dutch rule (1640–48), this period was relatively uneventful, with Luanda growing much like many other colonial cities, albeit with a strong Brazilian influence as a result of the extensive shipping trade between these Portuguese colonies. The independence of Brazil in 1822 and the end of slavery in 1836 left Luanda's future looking bleak, but the opening of the city's port to foreign ships in 1844 led to a great economic boom. By 1850, the city was arguably the most developed and one of the greatest cities in the Portuguese empire outside Portugal itself and fuelled by trade in palm and peanut oil, wax, copra, timber, ivory, cotton, coffee, and cocoa. After slavery officially ended (resisted by the Portuguese but enforced by the British) forced labour began. Numerous imported crops grew well in the surrounding area to support residents, such as maize, tobacco, and cassava.

Attractions (What to See)

Agostinho Neto Mausoleum, Upon arrival in Luanda, it is impossible to miss the towering obelisk-like structure shooting above the rest of the city. If you're curious to know what it is and why it is there, it's a mausoleum dedicated to Agostinho Neto, the first President of Angola who led Angola's struggle for independence.

Fortress of São Miguel (Fortaleza de São Miguel), Calçada de S. Miguel. Built in 1576, it became the administrative center of Luanda during the early part of colonial rule and was a self-contained city for the early military garrison and an important holding place for slaves. It contains ornate wall tiles detailing the history of the city along with many relics, such as cannons and the original holding cells for slaves.

National Museum of Slavery (Museu Nacional da Escravatura), Built in the area where the slaves were held prior to being taken off to the Americas. The museum building is the Capa de Casa Grande, which is where they baptized slaves prior to sending them off to the Americas. The museum is worth seeing for the chapel and the cannons on the outside. In the center of the chapel is a fascinating stone font, but with no description. There are a few period objects of real interest (such as stocks, a whip, shackles), but the framed prints on the walls are mostly copies from published works, with relatively little accompanying information. The high, windswept location is beautiful.

National Museum of Natural History, Nossa Senhora da Muxima, A museum filled with thousands of species of animals, including fish, birds, crustaceons and insects. Many of the displayed animals are endangered, and some are even extinct. The museum does an impeccable job of displaying the large amount of diverse organisms that inhabit and once inhabited the country.

National Museum of Anthropology (Museu Nacional de Antropologia), Av. de Portugal 61,  Dedicated to educating people about Angolan history and culture, the National Museum of Anthropology features an impressive array of traditional masks along with art, sculptures, tools, weaponry, jewellery, clothing and musical instruments.

São Pedro da Barra Fortress (Fortaleza de São Pedro da Barra). A fortress that served a variety of purposes throughout its history. It was constructed in the 17th century to protect the area from invaders. When the slave trade began, it was then used as a keep for the slaves until they were ready to send them away. Throughout Angola's struggle for independence against Portugal from 1961-1975, the fort housed nationalists who were arrested and then forced into labor camps.

Igreja Nossa Senhora do Pópulo (Igreja da Sé). Considered to be the first Anglican Church, it is one of Luanda's most treasured cultural and historical sites. The structure dates back to 1482. Aside from its religious significance, the unique Baroque architecture and the lavish interior attract many visitors.
