Pongo Booking Agency Profile

Book Pongo for your next corporate event, function, or private party.
Here is a performer who is frequently hailed as Kuduro's new diva. It should come as no surprise that Pongo has made it her mission to continually modernize the history of the genre by incorporating global elements into her music. The ardent dancer, who was born in Angola, was exposed to a wide variety of musical genres as a child. She grew up surrounded by music; traditional Angolan tunes, Caribbean zouk, Brazilian rhythms, etc. Her family left the nation to go to Portugal as a result of the ongoing civil conflict. She developed a completely new degree of passion for Kuduro music there.
Pongo spent her adolescent years with the Denon Squad, a neighborhood band that first hired her as a dancer before allowing her to pick up the microphone and perform at local events. She gets the stage itch and understands she wants to keep expressing emotions with her voice during those fun times. She got discovered by Buraka Som Sistema, a band renowned for popularizing Kuduro, while making a reputation for herself in Lisbon's Kuduro scene. The band is captivated by the young woman's aura and asks her to perform at a few more gigs before releasing Kalemba (Wegue Wegue), a song inspired by Pongo's early experiences and the band's current biggest hit.
She demonstrates her commitment to fusing genres and languages as a means of overcoming all cultural barriers and sets the tone for her album, "SAKIDILA," which will feature strong and enticing party and dance music. She also connects Kuduro to Afrobeats, Favela Funk or even Afrofunk..

Frequently Asked Questions about booking Pongo to perform.

Many performers, actors, speakers and other talent like Pongo in certain cases will consider virtual appearances via live streaming. They perhaps may accept lower fees too. If you are seriously interested in booking Pongo or other talent shown on our site, we will research their desire and the specific fee for your live-streaming event or project request.
Pongo's current work schedule and location in relation to your event's type, date, budget, and locality will play a primary factor in the acceptance of booking Pongo for your party. As long as your funding is commensurate with the price range to book Pongo, CTI will propose your event to the official agency representing Pongo. After we consult with them, we will provide a personal and accurate quote that includes: final costs, availability, and actual interest in being hired for your specific event or party.
CTI can give you the accurate Pongo booking price once we submit your event details to their camp. "How much does it cost to book Pongo for an event?" is a frequent question we get. The final Pongo booking price is contingent on many variables and the booking fee we may show is based on a range derived from our past experience with what will Pongo charge for an event. An example fee to book Pongo is in the starting range of $15,000-$24,999. However, any recent popularity change would cause a price fluctuation well beyond this example. Also, their speaking fee might be different than the fee shown for the cost to perform or to just appear. Popularity, career stage, along with current demand will cause fluctuations in their speaking price as well. The final booking price may be more than what is shown, but you should at least have a budget within that range for them to consider an appearance, performance or speaking engagement.
CTI negotiates on behalf of professional event planners and talent buyers for paid appearances! We cannot give out direct contact information of the Pongo agent or help distribute fan mail, personal messages, gifts, requests for free appearances, or donations of time. The Pongo manager and agent will only work with us if we present them with funded offers for their client to work your event.
There is low probability to book Pongo for a party with anything substantially less than the published booking cost price range. We will negotiate with the Pongo agent on your behalf if your funding is in place. By not having funding ready then it will more difficult to book Pongo, because they get many offers to work events that are at or above asking price. It is also important to consider the travel costs when researching the Pongo booking fee, as additional expenses like this, as well as an entourage of staff and equipment, are not necessarily built-in to the booking fee range shown. If your budget does not factor that in, then there is no benefit for them to want to be hired. We do not personally speak for Pongo, but in our experience in booking talent for over 25 years, this is generally the outcome of inadequate funding.
