“These songs are part of my DNA,” Paulo Flores tells Apple Music. On this exclusive playlist celebrating Africa Month, Angola’s leading kizomba and semba artist hand-picks defining melodies from his past and present that offer hip-swaying glimpses into lusophone Africa and beyond. “They are part of me, part of my childhood, teenage times and are part of me now,” he says. “These songs have a very special and important role in my life’s soundtrack.”
