!Always in the present with us, right here, now now. I'm captivated by such beauty, this vocalist. Sade Adu embodies an earthy sensuality, controlled femininity, open, graceful reserve and mystical lightness. Her husky, contralto voice is pure sophistication. Sade, teller of love. #Sade #SadeAdu

‘We Must Start Dreaming Again’: An Angolan Writer Sees Magic in Everyday Life

...Mia Couto: Agualusa has been greatly influenced by examples of Lat. Am. lit. But it would be a mistake,...to label it “magical realism.” Agualusa himself prefers to describe his work as “African realism,” he said, inspired by the multiple realities that coexist in his homeland.
