About Me

Tendekasha De Feat, born Francisco Dos Passos Malheiros Dos Santos in Luanda, Angola, migrated to Portugal in 1977 at the age of eleven as a war refugee.

In his youth, Tendekasha found solace in music, and through his father’s wide music collection, he versed himself in a diverse range of genres. In 1989, he moved to London. During that time, Tendekasha continued expressing himself through his passion for singing and percussion.

For many years, Tendekasha struggled with war trauma from his early years in Angola. His love of music, however, helped him overcome these adversities, and he has always derived great inspiration from Angolan and Jamaican revolutionary and traditional musicians. Their music connected with Tendekasha, as they elegantly explored the strife of contemporary life in their home countries.
