In the Lusophone / Portuguese-speaking music world, Tabanka Djaz are big stars. After a career that almost stretches over 30 years, they have several tours behind them both in the USA, in Europe and across the entire African continent. In the 90s and early 2000s, they released four records with great success. They were nominated for Ngwomo Africa (the African Grammy) and sold platinum.Then several events occurred that would have dramatic consequences for the successful band. A much-loved band member, keyboardist Caló Barbosa, lost his life in 2006, at the same time as the financial crisis hit the local music industry hard. The band's drummer, Dinho Silva, chose to move back to Angola in 2008.
Ten years of silence followed, while Tabanka Djaz's fan base did not give up hope that they would return to the stage. And here they are!
