Prince Wadada’s name came from a fusion of the Jamaican poet Prince Far I (1944-1983) and a song from Burning Spear called “Black Wadada”. All this began when Prince Wadada at the age of 14, joined the Rasta community in the " Bairro Operário", in Luanda, where he reinforced his conviction in a philosophy based and inspired by the way of life of African ancestors. It was with an amateur Yamaha Synthesizer, a prize won in a Music Contest from a local radio called LAC in 1992 that made Wadada join two friends to form a Ragga Hip Hop group, by itself the first of the Angolan underground movement, the "GC Unity", with Kool Kleva and Gangsta Dú. In 1994 he embraced his solo career starting his journey to discover the ideal sound for his artistic aspirations.
Today, basic human rights is the main focus of Prince Wadada’s music, and that is exactly what this professional and humble artist is doing.
Blessed Love!
