Well known and loved in his home country and beyond since the late ’50s, Mingas has long been known as a pioneer in African music. Mixing musical elements of his Afro-Portuguese heritage with jazz and Latin music — while addressing political themes of the day — made him not only a beloved musician, but a leader to his people. Given the rising interest in Afro-Portuguese music brought on by musicians like Césaria Évora and the Mendes Brothers, Mingas began to float back to the top of Western attention in the mid- to late ’90s. Today, drawing on his cultural and political background, Mingas serves as the Minister of Culture of Angola. He still regularly records and performs.
