Скачать или смотреть José Carlos Schwarz - Diju di Galinha (1978)

José Carlos Schwarz (1949-1977) was a Bissau-Guinean poet and musician. He is widely regarded as one of the most important and influential musicians of Guinea-Bissau.

Schwarz wrote in Portuguese and French, but he sang in Creole. In 1970, he formed the Cobiana Djazz band with a group of friends. After the independence of Guinea-Bissau, Schwarz became the director of the Department of Arts and Culture, and also the responsible for youth matters. In 1977, he started working at the Embassy of Guinea-Bissau in Cuba. On May 27 of the same year, Schwarz died in a plane crash near Havana.

Djiu di Galinha (a narrative of the time the artist spent imprisoned in the penal colony of Ilha das Galinhas) was recorded in New York with Miriam Makeba and released posthumously). A significant portion of Schwarz's musical and lyrical repertoire remains largely undisclosed, many of his poems still waiting to be shaped into songs.
