Never underestimate the power of a mixtape in the game of seduction 

Dreams are always troubling. Political dreams, then, are incredibly dangerous, especially when we forget them, since the possibility always exists that they might return like a spectre to steal away our peace. Their most notable characteristic is the fact of their being collective dreams.

Even if they might be born from the mind of a single indi vidual, idealistic dreams are as contagious as chickenpor and quickly end up being other people's dreams; they cross borders and generations, able to mutate, for better or worse, depending on the ending they're given. These dreams, ideas that are not new, are in the same places s they were put by those Angolans who gave them life when they were kids, rebels and revolutionaries.

Kizomba is nourishment. But the musical genre that best reflects that frantic, prosperous, colourful, desirable, misunderstood, totally contradictory urgency of the new Angola and its people - thats got to be kuduro

Time is less merciful to lovers who want and live in an impasse, in a cautious postponement, the product of an unconscious fear. Even though time is a changeable material and even though it's tiny, with the hunger of desire it'll multiply, leaving traces in the memory, making a single night feel like months.

An exploration of immigration through Angolan music genres of kuduro and kizombo. This book is maybe auto fiction I enjoyed learning about the history of various types of Angolan music. 

3.5/5 because it was sometimes tough to read with so many names I’m not familiar with.
