And if I say that Séketxe are on another level, you'll say I'm lying. But I'm here to say it: this group brings harmony to their compositions, not only to portray reality, but to create harmony between what they sing and what they live. That's Rap Cia! “Gualembe” is the new song that mixes what is ours with modernism and a fusion between trap and Afro, of course with the group's usual beautiful rap. It brings the cry of someone who comes from the ghetto and shines in the city, that is, in the capital. I can say: today, there is no group or rapper that can compete with Séketxe. Yes, they bring something unique. Angolan rap is in full swing, and “Gualembe” is proof of what has been said about the group. After a season dedicated to solo projects — such as “Mete Dica” by 12 Furos and “Canto de Glória” by BadBanzelo, in addition to other works that gave voice to the members’ individual careers — they return with full force.
