RADIO MAC – 15 June 2021 – 6pm: Quando a guerra acabou o povo nos comandou / The War Finished and People Lead Us – Chalo Correia

Quando a guerra acabou o povo nos comandou
“Quando a guerra acabou o povo nos comandou” é uma conversa sobre o estado das coisas depois dos vários conflitos ocorridos em Angola. Apesar do passado e do presente, indagamos sobre as implicações na formação das diásporas ou do que ele chama de filhos do mundo. Chalo revisita através da sua obra, a poesia e letra de alguns conflitos, fazendo parte da memória coletiva angolana: colonização, guerra e imigração. Através das suas histórias e imagens pessoais consideradas parte integrante de suas canções, somos levados a uma jornada intensa, com o propósito de refletir sobre essas lutas. Chalo também tenta chamar a atenção para outros assuntos problemáticos, como a guerra do conhecimento, saúde e desenvolvimento.
Ele aponta uma pergunta fundamental: Agora que a luta acabou, onde vamos?
