Pongo

Pongo is an Angolan singer, songwriter, and performer based in Lisbon, recognized as one of the most singular voices of the new generation of global contemporary music. Born in Luanda and arriving in Portugal at the age of eight, she develops a universe marked by notions of identity, resilience, and cultural hybridization. Revealed very young with Kalemba (Wegue Wegue), she quickly established herself on the international scene thanks to overflowing stage energy and a magnetic presence. Her journey has led her to explore an afro-fusion where kuduro, afrobeats, and electronic textures intersect in an instinctive and current songwriting style. Awarded the Music Moves Europe Talent Award in 2020 and nominated for the Kora Awards in 2024, Pongo confirms her status as a major artist with tracks like Sakidila, Pongo Baddie, or Kuzola, featured on the FIFA 23 soundtrack. In 2026, she returns with Banana, a sunny track that continues the opening of her universe toward warm afrobeats sounds and a flow nourished by multiple influences, affirming a trajectory in constant expansion.
