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.
