Born in Angola, of Portuguese origin, Victor Gama is a totally unique artist. He develops musical instruments from a variety of materials, including wood and metal, has set up a non-profit making organization, PangeiArt, to help other Angolan musicians, and regularly travels the world to bring their work, as well as his, to new audiences. Victor is just released Pangeia Instruments, one of the most breath-taking record of the year, and we caught up with him as he was just getting ready to fly to Brazil, to chat about his instrument-making activities, his music, and growing up in a country ruled by an authoritarian regime and torn apart by civil war. Victor Gama will be bringing PangeiArt in London this December.
