The songs on this album, sung in Portuguese and local languages Kimbundu and Umbundu, were recorded soon after the end of colonial rule, and the lyrics convey messages of struggle, victory, and hope. The liner notes include lyrics in English and an essay first published in 1978 in the Guardian, discussing Angola as \"the focal point of confrontation... between socialism and capitalism.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Tua Kua Divua \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Avante O Poder Popular \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Invasores de Angola \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Ormala Vanque \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Kitadi Kia Ngola \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Tchikolo?A \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Poema \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Enu Llumba \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Ministro Gatuno \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Estrangeiro \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Noite Longa (Long Night) \u003cbr\u003e1.12 Rumo a Independ?Ncia\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Various Artists","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32432470589511,"sku":"16954014","price":19.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/1506890.jpg?v=1747363030","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/various-artists-angola-forward-various","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
