Mona Ki Ngi Xica feat. Bonga | Song Around The World | Playing For Change
Music has a remarkable power to transcend borders, languages, and cultures, allowing us to discover a connected world through unifying melodies. “Mona Ki Ngi Xica“ Song Around The World, written by and featuring the legendary Angolan artist, Bonga, is the quintessential song in representing that power, conveying a message of unity, resilience, and hope.
Bonga’s album Angola 72, which featured “Mona Ki Ngi Xica,” is one of the most influential and impactful albums recorded, as it became the soundtrack for revolutionaries fighting for independence from colonial rule. “Mona Ki Ngi Xica,“ which means “the child I’m leaving behind,” was written and recorded in the Netherlands by Bonga in exile and smuggled back into Portugal and Angola, thus becoming a pillar for representing significant political and social change.
Bonga’s artistry and tenacity is a prime example of the collective force of music that brings people together, bridging gaps and inspiring action towards a brighter, more harmonious future.
You can’t rewrite history but you can create a better future. — Mark Johnson
