C4 Pedro

He is known as the “king of Kizomba”, one of the most popular styles of music in Angola known for its sensual rhythms and dance moves. Born in 1983, C4 Pedro (real name Pedro Henriques Lisboa Santos) started his musical career in Belgium, with the group Brother Lisboa Santos alongside his brother Lil Saint.

Ten years later, he returned to Angola to continue with music, releasing three albums: Lagrimas with Lil Saint, Calor e frio and King Ckwa. The music star in 2013 did a collaboration album with the Angolan rapper Big Nelo called B4 Los Compadres. His best-selling album was, however, released in 2015 named King Ckwa. C4 Pedro, which means Cry For People, is much loved by fans in Angola and beyond.
