Lula Music and Arts Centre, Batuki Music Society and Small World Music Society are proud to present Angolan Semba master Paulo Flores, performing in Toronto for the first time.

At the forefront of the Kizomba movement for more than fifteen years, Paulo has helped shape the genre’s unique fusion of zouk rhythms from the Antilles with elements from traditions from Congo and Angola.

The voice of Paulo Flores, sweet and warm, vibrant and deep, is inspired by Luanda´s urban tradition and tells us stories of yesterday, today and tomorrow. Also a Goodwill Ambassador for the UN in Angola, Paulo continues to play an important social role in supporting the modernization of the Angolan music through collaboration with young Angolan musicians.
