A favourite song:

Paulo Carnoth Music in my country is specially about the social situation so I’ve chosen a poem of mine - ‘A Tear in my Eye’. I miss my mother. I miss the love I lost. Sometimes I want to cry. I know that the situation in Angola is really serious now. Some young people like me have no legs or have lost lives because of the situation. It’s trouble. For me, it’s very bad. I can’t talk about it. The young are dead because there’s no food. People are dead like insects.
