Tambén os brancos sabem dançar : un romance musical / Kalaf Epalanga.

The musician and writer Kalaf Epalanga, a member of the band Buraka Som Sistema, is driving from the Swedish city of Gothenburg to Oslo, the capital of Norway, where he will perform that night at the OYA festival. As he does not have a valid passport to show he is detained for attempted illegal immigration and taken to the police station for questioning. Aware of the imminence of losing the concert, he asks himself: How am I going to explain to these Norwegian policemen that, despite my uncommon appearance at these stops, I am nothing more than a peaceful Angolan musician on tour? Can I explain to you who the Buraka Sound System is? Shall I tell you about the Lisbon music scene? How was Kuduro born in a musseque in Luanda? Will they notice? This is the story of this extraordinary and amazing book by Kalaf Epalanga. It is actually a work of self-fiction, cultivated by so many European writers but relatively rare among us. And the world that shows us - from Luanda to Kristiansund, from Beirut to Rio de Janeiro, not to mention his beloved Lisbon - is a true revelation.
