BORN in 1944, Pedro Lima’s musical career began as teenager with his family band Os Leonenses. Lima was one of the very few singers and bands from Sao Tome & Principe who recorded in Luanda, Angola for the N’Gola and Merengue labels in the 1970s and in Lisbon, Portugal for IEFE Records in the 1980s.
“His music is wonderfully rich and delicate, though quite minimalistic in arrangements, revealing the subtle melodies of the islands’ harmonic and backing vocals traditions.”
