Über Desmali y Dambo de la Costa

Annobonese singer and bandleader whose group Dambo de la Costa is one of the acoustic guitar bands that carried Equatoguinean popular song. The 2008 album Luga Da Ambo is the clearest documented record of Annobón's repertoire in general circulation, sung in the island's Portuguese-based creole. Its tracks run long by pop standards, giving guitar, percussion and voice the room a village dance expects rather than the length a digital single wants. Spanish Wikipedia lists the group among the country's best-known national acts.
