It is the first Portuguese afro beat band that released their first album in 2009.
This is a multicultural work which holds the most diverse sounds that mix creating an irresistible pace with African flavor, but that goes far beyond this concept. It is a CD which is based on an instrumental diversity. There is a bit of everything and for everyone. It is a hodgepodge of sources that reflect the very nature of the band, which consists of 10 musicians from different backgrounds who reside in our country. Soon to open is "I want it all," a song with an ironic lyrics, direct, outspoken, with a social message that could not be more current in a country where there's a financial crisis. In the edge of the abyss. The same can be said of "Mr. Diplomat "is a song that drinks its inspiration on rap, the lyrics is an advice, a warning against the suits of the world, which rule over all and do nothing for the collective."Come from Nigeria" is another appeal to a non-indifference, the music is the weapon in this global struggle for a better world. One of the curiosities of "cacique 97" is that the songs are long, due to its inherent instrumentality that is increasingly rare in the music world, "dragon" is an excellent example, inspired by China, has a very urban pace that enhances the theme, yet it is almost impossible to cataloging it, in fact, this musical mix is reflected in the entire record, just listen it carefully. There is a taste of Aruba, Central America, Africa and Portugal. Three continents on one musical work. Incidentally, the name of the album takes us back to the private buses in Mozambique called the chapas and this one was the number 97. Note also that the band led by the charismatic musician Milton Gulli has achieved a remarkable success across borders, which owes much to this debut album that reached the summits of the top music charts of World music.
