Background notes
Archive material and source history
Borracha formed in Luanda in the late 2000s, drawing from Angolan kuduro rhythms. They started playing local bars and street corners, working with modest resources. The group includes singer-songwriter Zé Kafala, guitarist Adão, bassist Guimaraes, and drummer Mário.
In 2013, their single "A África do Meu Coração" gained attention in Angola and reached listeners internationally. The song's melody and lyrics about African identity connected with audiences. They've since released albums like "Festa na Tchiloia" in 2015 and "Angola 70" in 2017.
Their music incorporates jazz, funk, and soul elements alongside traditional sounds. Songs like "Do Oriente Para o Mundo Na Palma da Mão" and "Visão da Vida" continue this approach. In 2016, they received a Kora Award for Best African Group.
