Calema, a popular Electronic Kizomba music group sensation over the weekend treated patrons to a different kind of entertainment at the Indigo O2 in London.
Brothers Antonio and Fradique who hail from São Tomé and Prínciple were spot-on with their performance, according to fans.
The icing on the cake, however, was when Ghana’s Stonebwoy who was introduced by the music duo with origins in Portugal to the charged and excited audience where they performed for the first time a remix of the duo’s hit single Te Amor.
The electric move of the performers and party lovers transitioned my cold Saturday mood into a steamy unforgettable night.
From Angola’s Singer Pérola to Soraia Ramos, a well-known Portuguese artist/band and a host of others were all at hand to make the event complete.
“My best yet, the first concert in London left me and others wanting for more.”
And the 5-hour concert got every little space in the arena occupied with thousands of music lovers from all walks of life together.
Calema is a music duo from São Tomé and Príncipe with origins in Portugal made up of two brothers António Mendes Ferreira and Fradique Mendes Ferreira. The name of the duo refers to the special undulation on the African coast.

Renowned Ghanaian music heavyweight, Empress Gifty, has dedicated her seven awards won in 2025 to President John Dramani Mahama.
The musician and her management, led by Edem Mensah-Tsotorme, together with her husband, Mr Hopeson Adorye, called on the President at the Jubilee House on Thursday, October 9, 2025.
Empress Gifty, in her remarks, said the visit was to officially congratulate the President, who has been a father figure for her for many years, and also update him on successes chalked in her career.
She thanked the President for his guidance over the years and promised to even do better in the years ahead, as she prepares to release her new song for the year.
The gospel musician also appealed to President Mahama to consider building a large seating auditorium for the creative arts industry.
She appealed to the President for a 10,000 to 30,000 large seating auditorium to improve the fortunes of the creative sector when it comes to events in the country.
This, she said, would go a long way to help the sector flourish and position the country for other international events in the future.
Additionally, she urged the President to ensure the creative sector gets substantial allocation in the next budget.
The President, on his part, thanked Empress Gifty, who he calls his daughter, and the team for the visit, expressing how proud he was of her growth.
Again, he charged her to continuously work even harder for more laurels.
President Mahama pledged his commitment to the growth of the creative arts industry, adding that with regard to a large seating auditorium for the space, he has received some designs and suggestions for a convention centre which are under consideration.
According to him, once suggestions were approved and issues of funding are addressed, this would serve a multipurpose function and host many activities throughout the year.
The President further pledged his unflinching support for the creative arts sector and assured of budgetary support in the years ahead.
