  • David Zé (23 August 1944 — 27 May 1977) was an Angolan musician, composer and activist.

After Angola obtained independence from Portugal in 1975, he was given the official position of Director of Music in the incoming MPLA regime. His career only lasted for about a decade, but he established himself as one of the biggest name in the "Golden Age" of Angolan music of the early 1970s. He was kidnapped and later assassinated by a group of people who dissolved from the MPLA during or after a failed attempt at a coup that took place in the 27th of May of 1977 and his music was banned from radio for more than a decade. But now he is relived and cherished as a public figure, a role model, an example to society, never to be forgotten. (en)
