Waldemar Bastos was born in Portuguese Angola in 1954.
He was forced into exile during the post-independence civil war, but despite all the hardships and tragedy in his life (a son was killed in a Lisbon club) Bastos embraces beauty and positivity in his music.
His new album “Classics of My Soul” is like one big affirmation of everything that’s beautiful in life.
Some of the songs were performed with The London Symphony Orchestra.
