I understand hardly any of the lyrics to Paulo Flores' music. He is an Angolan singer and I have been listening to his extraordinary music since the mid 1990's. Angolan music is my favorite African music.

Whenever this comes up, I always think of Scorpions, Germans who for decades did all their singing in English; as contrasted with Rammstein, who revealed the impact and fitness of German to sing heavy metal in.

While I have no doubt Klaus Meine could've made something cool (tho' different) singing in German; Till Lindemann's forays into English and Spanish in the Rammstein catalog ranged from awkward to embarrassing.
