Duo Ouro Negro

**Duo Ouro Negro** was a beloved Angolan musical duo formed by brothers Milo MacMahon and Raúl Indipwo. Active primarily in the 1960s and 1970s, they became icons of Lusophone African music, blending Angolan rhythms like semba with Latin jazz, fado, and Brazilian influences. Their smooth harmonies and socially conscious lyrics resonated during Angola’s struggle for independence, and tracks like *Tenho Amor para Amar* and *Poema Para Allende* reflected their fusion of artistry and activism.

They gained broader recognition after winning Portugal’s *Grande Prémio TV da Canção Portuguesa* in 1967 with *Livro sem Fim*. Known for collaborations (like *Duo Ouro Negro Com Sivuca* with Brazilian accordion legend Sivuca), their music remains a cultural touchstone, celebrated in reissues like *Blackground (Remastered 2019)*. Their joyful grooves, as heard in *Dança do Robalinho*, keep dance floors lively and their legacy fresh.
