Teta Lando

Alberto Teta Lando was an Angolan musician. He was born in Mbanza Congo, the capital city of Zaire Province in the north of the country, and is Bakongo. He is not well-known outside Portuguese-speaking African countries and Portugal itself. His music focuses on Angolan identity, the country's civil war, the saudades (nostalgia, melancholy and longing) of Angolan exiles, as well as young love and family. He speaks and sings in Portuguese as well as Kikongo. His songs include "Irmao ama teu irmao" (Brother, Love your Brother") and "Eu vou voltar" (I Will Return"). He died in Paris, France, on the 14th July 2008, after battling cancer.Alberto Teta Lando, on his last years of life, managed to re-unite all the Angolan musicians. He was a man that always spoke because he had something to say and not because he had to say something, he typified the bravery and courage of the northern Angolan man. [cite web
