About Deltino Guerreiro
Deltino Guerreiro is a Mozambican singer born on August 26, 1990 in the District of Montepuez (Cabo Delgado). The sound of Deltino Guerreiro is a mixture of influences, fruit of his experiences from north to south of the country. From Soul and R&B to the musical tradition of northern Mozambique, combined with conscious lyrics sung in Portuguese, English and Macua.
However, his melodies reflect the strong Arab musical influence of Northern Mozambique.
Deltino has already won awards in two consecutive years in the category of revelation artist and best voice in Ngoma Mozambique (2015 & 2016) In addition to the collaboration he had with singer Joss Stone for his song "Sonho" which portrays the desire of everyone to want to be rich.
About Shalamar
In the late 1970s and early 1980s the name Shalamar became synonymous with the contemporary sound of catchy feel-good dance music. Shalamar are best known for a string of worldwide hits such as The Second Time Around, Make That Move, I Owe You One, I Can Make You Feel Good, There It Is, Friends and of course their often copied anthem A Night To Remember.
Shalamar started life as a “manufactured” group. Dick Griffey was the talent co-ordinator for US hit show Soul Train when he decided to set up his own record label – SOLAR. He took session musicians and created a hit record – Uptown Festival - which was credited to a faceless artist “Shalamar” in 1977. When the record became a hit he realised that there was a demand for an actual group so he set about creating one with soul train dancers Jeffrey Daniel and Jody Watley together with singer Gary Mumford, the latter of whom quickly left the group to pursue other interests.
The trio consisting of Howard Hewett as lead vocalist together with Jeffrey Daniel and Jody Watley became known as the “classic” line up of the group.
