This week, Sociedade Recreativa welcomes Matias Damásio, the Angolan singer in a comprehensive interview that helps us better understand the weight of his words when he says, "Music was the solution in my life." A conversation with Sílvia Alberto about everything: his early years in Benguela, a poor neighborhood; the war that took the lives of many of his friends and drove him to the streets of Luanda, alone at just 11 years old; his first guitar chords in exchange for a plate of food; the success of "Loucos"; his family, and even his powerful testimony as the father of a son with autism—"It took me five years to hear my son call me dad."
