Pongo was born in Angola, having moved with his family to Lisbon at the age of eight. Behind she left a country still immersed in a civil war whose marks are still visible nowadays. With her came the childhood experiences and memories of the ever-present dance and music. Kuduro, Antillean zouk, semba and other sounds that she found again in the Portuguese kuduro scene, dancing and singing in neighborhood concerts in the Queluz area. Soon she became noticed by Buraka Som Sistema, having given voice to the seminal Wegue Wegue, thus also becoming part of the band's concerts. In 2010 Pongo went solo, making music that mix her own influences and the rhythms shared with her generation (EDM, bass music, dancehall and pop variants). She is one of the most promising new artists on the Portuguese music scene.
