Angola celebra 50 anos de independência e a sua história pode ouvir-se no Semba, através do ritmo que denunciou o colonialismo, uniu o país e continua a pulsar nas novas gerações. Para o antropólogo André Castro Soares, o Semba é “um testemunho histórico e político”, uma expressão da dor, da festa e da esperança de um povo que, mesmo entre guerras e desafios, nunca deixou de dançar pela liberdade.  Angola assinala na próxima semana 50 anos de independência, a 11 de Novembro, meio século de caminhos cruzados entre a esperança, a reconstrução e os desafios de um país que continua a reinventar-se. Desde 1975, a música tem sido uma das mais fiéis testemunhas da história angolana: um espaço onde se escutam as memórias da luta, as vozes da resistência e as novas sonoridades que dão forma à identidade contemporânea. O antropólogo português André Castro Soares, autor da tese “Semba enquanto património material, políticas e imagens e sonoridades da cultura em Angola”, tem dedicado a sua investigação a compreender esse percurso. Para ele, “o Semba não é apenas uma expressão artística, mas um testemunho histórico e político capaz de revelar as múltiplas camadas da vida angolana desde 1975 até hoje”. Ao olhar para os 50 anos de independência, André Castro Soares defende que a história de Angola pode ser lida através das suas canções. “É o Semba que vai, de alguma forma, denunciar a presença colonial e o jugo colonial, sobretudo a partir dos anos 60 e 61. 61 é um ano horríbilis do governo do Estado Novo de Salazar”, recorda. Foi nesse momento que começou a guerra colonial, e “esse movimento vai ser acompanhado pelos músicos, pelos que começam, de forma encapotada, a lançar as suas mensagens, aquilo que chamo na minha tese de recados, para que a população se juntasse à luta pela independência fora do jugo colonial português”. Entre esses músicos, destaca-se Liceu Vieira Dias, figura central na génese do nacionalismo musical. “O grande autor, o grande pensador e poeta dessas sonoridades foi, sem dúvida, Liceu Vieira Dias, que com a música Feiticeira, isso está bem descrito num filme de Jorge António, vai, de forma encapotada, anunciar a forma como o poder colonial podia ser combatido”, explica o antropólogo. “Essa música Muxima, coração, vai marcar sonoramente esse período”, acrescenta, sublinhando que outras canções, como Umbi Umbi, exprimem esse mesmo sentimento de resistência e de dor. “O Muxima é o mais emblemático”, afirma Castro Soares. “É um lamento. O Semba tem várias formas, há o Semba de carnaval, festivo, mas também há o Semba de lamento. E essas músicas de lamento são universais, acompanham as formas de vivência dos povos negros subjugados à escravatura e à violência. Quando falo de lamento, falo, por exemplo, da Soul music nos Estados Unidos, do Semba em Angola e do Samba no Brasil.” Essa dimensão espiritual e emocional faz do Semba, segundo o investigador, “um género que surge do sofrimento das pessoas negras e que é, por isso, fundamental para marcar a paisagem sonora da independência”. Com o fim do domínio colonial, o Semba tornou-se património simbólico e material da nova nação. “A angolanidade não é um conceito consensual”, reconhece Castro Soares, “mas através da música podemos pensar num aglutinador do que seria o mais próximo deste conceito, um espaço de consensualidade cultural, onde as pessoas daquele território se revissem de alguma forma”. Num país de enorme diversidade étnica e linguística, o Semba, explica, “é talvez o género musical que melhor se aproxima desse trabalho de consenso, dessa procura de unidade nacional”. “Luanda tem um poder magnético muito grande”, acrescenta o antropólogo. “Concentra grande parte de todas as populações do vastíssimo território das 18 províncias. Penso que o Semba poderá ser uma boa banda sonora da angolanidade, ou o mais próximo daquilo que é a angolanidade, apesar de algumas pessoas não gostarem de o pôr aí. Mas o Semba retrata, relata e ilustra de forma sonora a vivência dos angolanos.” Essa vivência é inseparável das chamadas festas de quintal, que, segundo o investigador, “são uma célula cultural onde se ouve todo o tipo de música, mas onde o Semba tem um papel fundamental de união e de construção de diálogo”. Essa dimensão comunitária da música estende-se, para Castro Soares, à vida familiar e quotidiana. “A sentada familiar é uma marca de angolanidade até mais importante que a própria música”, defende. “É o lugar onde se transmite conhecimento, aquilo que chamo transmissão de conhecimento aural — não apenas oral, porque envolve a escuta e o corpo todo. É uma incorporação de saberes ancestrais que vai muito para além da construção da nova nação.” Mas o percurso musical de Angola também foi marcado por silêncios e medos. “O espaço musical foi muito afectado por um acontecimento: a purga dentro do MPLA em 1977”, lembra André Castro Soares. “Esse episódio, que teve contornos de massacre, implicou uma imposição de medo geral em relação à contestação ao poder instituído, e esse medo vai acompanhar até aos dias de hoje.” Mesmo assim, a música nunca deixou de ser um território de resistência. “Os músicos conseguiram ler muito bem os limites impostos pela política. Hoje continuam a falar através de recados, como o Paulo Flores, que usa a canção para denunciar as injustiças do poder político.” Com o passar das décadas, novos estilos emergiram e redefiniram o espaço sonoro angolano. “Depois do Semba, vieram o Kuduro e a Kizomba, que tiveram grandes impactos na diáspora africana e angolana no exterior”, observa o antropólogo. “A Kizomba, que eu costumo chamar um abraço que os angolanos dão a todas as pessoas, até às pessoas racistas, é uma música que consegue juntar pessoas muito diferentes, dentro e fora do país. É um excelente antídoto contra o racismo. Essa é, para mim, a principal lição que os angolanos deram à contemporaneidade: é possível juntarmo-nos e abraçarmo-nos independentemente das nossas diferenças.” Sobre as novas gerações, André Castro Soares vê nelas um diálogo vivo com o passado. “Há todo um diálogo feito pelas novas gerações, ainda que algumas sem memória directa desse passado, mas transmitido pelos pais e pelos antepassados e também por via da educação.” O antropólogo insiste que “Angola não é um Estado falhado, é um Estado com dificuldades e idiossincrasias, que ainda não teve grande alternância política, nem uma democratização plena, mas o caminho está a ser construído e deve ser marcado pelos próprios angolanos. É uma população muito jovem e capaz de fazer releituras e visões para o seu futuro.” Quando se escuta a Angola de hoje, os sons são múltiplos, mas há sinais de regresso às origens. “Tem havido uma procura da essência do que é angolano”, afirma. “As pessoas perderam a utopia dos anos 80, tornaram-se mais realistas, e há uma vontade de voltar aos instrumentos acústicos e tradicionais, como a Dikanza, um instrumento de fricção feito a partir da natureza.” Essa recuperação, diz, “é uma forma de resgatar património, um passado que foi negado pela guerra civil e por um sistema educativo débil, mas que as pessoas estão a reconstruir de forma informal, fora da tutela do Estado.” Entre os artistas actuais, André Castro Soares destaca “Yúri da Cunha, que tem uma proposta musical muito interessante no sentido de procurar as raízes e a festa de quintal”, bem como “Paulo Flores, que continua a apresentar trabalhos com grande profundidade”, e ainda “Eduardo Paim, vindo da Kizomba, que tem feito remisturas com outros estilos como o Zouk”. Também as novas fusões mostram vitalidade: “Dentro do Afrobeat, há várias misturas entre o Kuduro e o Amapiano da África do Sul, o continente influencia-se mutuamente e vai marcando os gostos de uma juventude que tem outras preocupações do que a juventude que fez a independência.” Cinquenta anos depois da proclamação da independência, a música continua a ser, como conclui André Castro Soares, “um marcador cultural fundamental” e “o espaço onde os angolanos se escutam, se reencontram e se reinventam”. Entre o lamento e a festa, o Semba permanece a batida da liberdade, o som de um povo que aprendeu, mesmo em tempos de silêncio, a falar através da música.

Afrobeat Rebellion, c'est le titre de l'exposition consacrée à Fela Anikulapo Kuti. Ouverte jusqu'à fin décembre 2025 à Lagos au Nigeria, cette exposition, avec une offre enrichie, est la suite de celle qui a eu lieu à la Philharmonie de Paris en octobre 2022, au musée de la Musique à Paris. Afrobeat Rebellion qui a lieu en plein cœur de la capitale nigériane, présente une multitude de documents d'archives, allant de photographies et d'effets personnels à des enregistrements audio originaux. Avec plus de 350 objets rares, des installations immersives et un riche programme de spectacles, de conférences et de films, ce projet historique retrace l'héritage et le parcours de Fela, de musicien à icône politique. Chapeau feutre sombre et tenue en lin dégradé bleu indigo, Ade Bantu affiche un sourire solaire. Son oncle Tola Odukoya est l'auteur d'une des attractions d'Afrobeat Rebellion : une série de photos en noir et blanc de Fela prises dans les années 60. Des clichés découverts par Ade, il y a 10 ans, chez Tola, son oncle, et par hasard... « On y voit Fela tenant la trompette, son tout premier instrument. Mon oncle a également des photos de Felo posant à côté de sa voiture personnelle. On y voit les difficultés d'un musicien en devenir dans son petit véhicule, où il doit ranger ses instruments et sans compter ses musiciens en passager. Ce sont les débuts d'une carrière emblématique », explique-t-il. Un peu plus loin, Kola Onosoya se tient loin des regards. Il est pourtant le dernier percussionniste de Fela. Toujours membre du groupe Egypt 80, Kola reste marqué par la pensée et l'engagement du roi de l'Afrobeat. Pour Kola, une exposition internationale consacrée à son leader spirituel est une douce revanche. « De son vivant, beaucoup de gens ne croyaient pas en Fela. Mais après sa mort, beaucoup de parents qui n'avaient jamais autorisé leurs enfants à aller voir Fela en concert viennent maintenant aux expositions consacrées à Fela... Et comprennent enfin ce que Fela voulait dire », estime-t-il. Amplifier la voix et la musique non conformistes de Fela, c'est l'objectif d'Abba Makama. Curateurs des films et vidéos projetés dans cette exposition, Abba estime que l'influence de Fela est universelle. Comme celle de l'écrivain Ernest Hemingway ou encore du dramaturge William Shakespeare. « Les Américains vénèrent Hemingway. Les Britanniques vouent un culte à Shakespeare. Nous devons porter Fela Kuti au même niveau, voire plus haut. Parce qu'Hemingway et Shakespeare ont créé des œuvres d'art intemporelles. Fela a créé une musique unique, l'Afrobeat. Mais il était aussi politique. Il était révolutionnaire Le Nigeria célèbre les politiciens comme des rock stars. Les jeunes n'ont pas suffisamment de figures emblématiques vers lesquelles se tourner », regrette-t-il. Et Abba Makama espère ainsi qu'un maximum d'enfants et d'adolescents de Lagos découvriront Fela grâce aux installations immersives d'Afrobeat Rebellion.   À lire aussiLe Jazz de Joe : «Fela Kuti, Rébellion Afrobeat»

In Fela Kuti: Fear No Man, Jad Abumrad—creator of Radiolab, More Perfect, and Dolly Parton's America—tells the story of one of the great political awakenings in music: how a classically trained 'colonial boy' traveled to America, in search of Africa, only to return to Nigeria and transform his sound into a battering ram against the state—creating a new musical language of resistance called Afrobeat. For years, the world's biggest stars made pilgrimages to Nigeria to experience Fela's Shrine, the epicenter of his musical revolution. But when the mix of art and activism got too hot, the state pulled out its guns, and literally opened fire. Fela Kuti: Fear No Man is an uncategorizable mix of oral history, musicology, deep dive journalism, and cutting edge sound design that takes listeners deep inside Fela's life, music, and legacy.

On this episode of JOI Podcast, the boys return with another round of authentic, unfiltered conversations.We started off with the Hallelujah Challenge, breaking down how it has evolved over the years and the cultural impact it continues to have across the diaspora. From there, we dove deep into a tough but necessary discussion on why many Africans say they “can't just go back home,” touching on economics, infrastructure, opportunity, and identity.The conversation then shifted to the trending news of Davido's political appointment, analyzing the symbolism, the timing, and what it might mean for celebrity influence in governance.We also explored how the UK market has played a major role in pushing Afrobeats to global dominance, and why London continues to be the bridge between African sound and worldwide recognition.Of course — as always — we wrapped it all up with a few other trending topics, jokes, debates, and those classic JOI hot takes.It's real, insightful, and entertaining from start to finish.

Sonny Roberts, a Jamaican carpenter, arrived in Britain in the 1950s. It was a time of racial disharmony, including the Notting Hill riots and the murder of Kelso Cochrane. In this tense atmosphere, black musicians struggled to make a name for themselves. Then in 1961, Roberts set up the UK's first black-owned music studio, Planetone, in a basement in Kilburn. The studio gave the Caribbean community a musical platform. In later years, Roberts produced Nigerian band Nkengas' album, Destruction - one of the earliest examples of Afrobeat in the UK. His 1987 production of Judy Boucher's Can't Be with You Tonight reached number two in the UK Singles Chart, beaten only by Madonna. Roberts laid the foundations for black British music.

Subscribe to Fela Kuti: Fear No Man. In a world that's on fire, what is the role of art? What can music actually…do? Can a song save a life? Change a law? Topple a president? Get you killed? In Fela Kuti: Fear No Man, Jad Abumrad—creator of Radiolab, More Perfect, and Dolly Parton's America—tells the story of one of the great political awakenings in music: how a classically trained 'colonial boy' traveled to America, in search of Africa, only to return to Nigeria and transform his sound into a battering ram against the state—creating a new musical language of resistance called Afrobeat. For years, the world's biggest stars made pilgrimages to Nigeria to experience Fela's Shrine, the epicenter of his musical revolution. But when the mix of art and activism got too hot, the state pulled out its guns, and literally opened fire. Fela Kuti: Fear No Man is an uncategorizable mix of oral history, musicology, deep dive journalism, and cutting edge sound design that takes listeners deep inside Fela's life, music, and legacy. Drawing from over 200 interviews with Fela Kuti's family, friends, as well as scholars, activists, and luminaries like Burna Boy, Paul McCartney, Questlove, Santigold, and former President Barack Obama (just to name a few), Fela Kuti: Fear No Man journeys deep into the soul of Afrobeat to explore the transformative power of art and the role artists can play in this current moment of global unrest.

What happens when the feature isn't just a guest, but the gravitational force that reshapes a song's destiny? This week, we go back to Season 3, and Matt and Sam dive into 12 tracks where the featured artist is bigger than the headliner and map the creative ripple effects—from credibility boosts and audience crossovers to subtle vocal weaves that change how a story is told. It's a tour through hip-hop, rock, alt-pop, Latin hits, Afrobeats, and EDM, spotlighting the different ways a feature can blend, dominate, or transform.We start with Blackstreet's No Diggity and Dr. Dre's stamp of authority, then jump to Gorillaz and Bad Bunny's Tormenta where the guest becomes the lead energy. Bruce Springsteen's appearance on Bleachers' Chinatown shows how a legend can enhance without overshadowing. The Black Keys and ZZ Top's Billy F. Gibbons fuse blues weight with modern grit, while Big Sean's No Favors taps Eminem's verbal whirlwind to re-center the track. The Pretty Reckless bring Tom Morello for a late-song solo that explodes the arrangement, and The National's The Alcott with Taylor Swift is a masterclass in narrative duet balance.We revisit two global juggernauts—Despacito's crossover with Justin Bieber and the time-capsule case of Old Town Road featuring Billy Ray Cyrus—to show how co-signs can bridge genres and break charts. Dominic Fike's collaboration with Weezer reframes alt DNA, Burna Boy's Monsters You Made with Chris Martin pairs stadium warmth with sharp political commentary, and Flume's Tiny Cities with Beck turns bright production into bittersweet reflection. Along the way, we explore questions of authorship, credit, and why certain features open doors to entire scenes.1. No Diggity (feat. Dr Dre & Queen Pen) by Blackstreet2. Tormenta (feat.
