Jovino – African People (1975)
A native of the Cape Verde islands off western Africa, Jovino Dos Santos enlisted the help of Voz De Caboverde and his pal Luis Morais to record this politically-charged album dealing with the plight of the the former Portuguese colonies. It includes a sarcastic ‘ballad’ to Henry Kissinger in which he asks “Tell me Henry Kissinger, you’re the peacemaker, you’re the man of words and spirit, what can you do?”. (We now know the tragic answer to that question).
