N'Goma Jazz

The band, formed in 1964 by core members Garcia Kipioca (voice and percussion), Zé Manuel (lead singer) and Petengué (congas), was firstly named Ritmo Jazz, then Quinteto Angolano and, finally, in 1966, Ngoma Jazz. But it was electric guitar player Matumona Sebastião that accorded the group its most distinct sound. Other members were Caetano Lemos (percussion), Augusto Pedro (rhythm guitar), Ferreira Domingos (bass) and Mangololo (percussion)
