Mito
Gaspar is a name that suggests a peculiar way
of been in the Popular Angolan Music of rural
emanation. Without minimizing the morality values,
Mito Gaspar does not characterize himself as
anti- innovation and through the enhancement
of the modern music technologies, and turn upside
down the opinion of most skeptical how about
the real possibility of rejoice among the language
of the occidental techniques and the most classic
values of the africanism.
Originated
from a farm and humble family, Mito Gaspar was
born in 1957, in Cacuso, province of Malanje,
and it’s not going beyond by establishing
in parallel between subjacent stylish philosophy
his music and developed art by emblematic names
of the African music such as: Manu Dibango,
Ray Lema, Papa Wemba, Lokua Kanza, Youssou Ndour
and Salif Keita.
Catenda do Céu, Sukeco, Kalandula and
Cacuso, in Malanje province, are villages that
invoke in automatic form the memories of the
artist childhood...
