Pongo

Pongo is an Angolan singer, songwriter and performer, recognised as one of the most
distinctive voices of the new generation of global contemporary music. Born in Luanda
and based in Lisbon since the age of eight, her work reflects a strong connection to
identity, culture and resilience.

She gained international recognition at 16 with “Kalemba (Wegue Wegue)”. Today, she is a
leading Afro-fusion artist, known for high-energy shows across Europe and her standout
COLORSxSTUDIOS performance.

Winner of the Music Moves Europe Talent Award (2020) and nominated for the 2024 Kora
Awards, she blends kuduro, Afrobeats and electronic music into a distinctive
contemporary sound. With Sakidila, Pongo Baddie, and “Kuzola” (featured on FIFA 23),
she continues to expand globally.

In 2026, she returns with “Banana”, merging Afrobeats with a warm, grooving vibe and
Patois-infused flow.
