Lua Preta

Lua Preta is an Angolan/Polish duo consisting of vocalist/MC Ms. Gia of Angolan descent and experienced Polish DJ and producer Mentalcut. Together they bring the frenetic mixture of modern electronic music and African genres characteristic not only to Ms. Gia's native Angola but also to the whole continent - including kuduro, afrohouse, gqom and more. Lua Preta's fresh and unique sound led to 2018 being their breakthrough year with their biggest hit up to date being released ('Quero Mais' featuring Lesotho's Morena Leraba, Damon Albarn collaborator), their first official video being shot entirely in Lisbon, the one and only Daniel Haaksman releasing their tracks via his legendary Man Recordings label in December and a round of European appearances for the festivals and gigs taking place in Germany (incl. legendary Fusion Festival), Denmark, Italy, Finland, France and more! 2019 saw their further expansion with events in Spain, Norway and Belgium and, furthermore, following Lua Preta's two live performances in New York, their collaborative track 'Panama' with the renowned Tony Quattro dropped on Mad Decent's sublabel Good Enuff in May. Later that year the duo released conceptual EP called Polaquinha Preta that carries a great cultural value by exploring the topic of Ms. Gia growing up in Poland at the verge of political system changes. The EP is available on vinyl and is accompanied by the videos to two of its tracks.
