BELGIUM-BORN Angolan producer and composer Nazar’s debut album, Guerilla, released in 2020, for the Hyperdub label was a fusion of rough-hewn EDM and field recordings from the Angolan civil war. The new album was written at a time of new romance but at the same time Nazar had a serious Covid illness complication.
