Zona formed in 1999 as a group of young Angolan musicians. Their song '25 de Junho' became an anthem associated with independence and resilience. They've released albums including '25 de Junho' in 2001, 'Angola Minha Terra' in 2004, 'Raizes' in 2007, 'Momentos' in 2010, and 'Sou Angolano' in 2013.
Their music often addresses social issues, which has sparked debate at times. Other songs include 'Aurora Porteña,' 'Mente Distorcida,' and 'Alucina.' The current lineup features Dino Ferraz on vocals, Paulo Flores and Kanda on guitar, Tony Nguxi on bass, and Joao Lourenco on drums.
They blend traditional Angolan rhythms with contemporary sounds. Their work has found an audience in Angola and beyond.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
