Anita Gates New York Times What we have here is a rather sweet story of the plan to hold Angola's first national rock concert in its bombed-out, rubble-strewn, second-largest city, Huambo. Nov 20, 2014 Full Review Martin Tsai Los Angeles Times Director Jeremy Xido pays attention to the music only peripherally, without providing cultural context to supplement the history, and the country's demotic kuduro genre gets only a couple of passing references. Nov 7, 2014 Full Review Michael Nordine Village Voice The genre's aggressive qualities aren't just a coping mechanism, but also a means of recontextualizing personal and national traumas. Nov 5, 2014 Full Review Brent McKnight The Last Thing I See Illuminates a corner of the world you've never seen and shows you why you should care. Even angry music about blood and death can be hopeful given the right setting. Rated: B+ Jul 7, 2020 Full Review Pat Padua Spectrum Culture Connects a dark music usually associated with misunderstood teenagers with the harrowing trials of a national nightmare. Rated: 3/5 Aug 31, 2018 Full Review Nicholas Laskin The Playlist "Death Metal Angola" is engrossing, entertaining and, above all, deeply true - here's to hoping more people find a way to see it.
