Pemba Laka | Playing For Change from Playing For Change on Vimeo.

"Pemba Laka," featuring Hugo Soares is a historic, timeless rhyme that comes from Angola. It's celebrated throughout Africa and resonates around the globe.

We recorded this uplifting, joyful song during one of our travels through Spain. We had just finished a magical shoot with a percussionist from Ghana named Malik, and were hanging out at our good friend—and location manager—Brian Heinens flat in Barcelona.

At some point Clarence joined us, and introduced us to his friend Hugo Soares from Angola. In true PFC spirit, what began as an organic acoustic jam slowly transformed the atmosphere into a truly special experience. And so... we grabbed our cameras and recording equipment so we could share the experience with you.
