Messias Maricoa used his official Facebook page to thank fans, friends and followers for their support, and promised to surprise them with new work. “Another prize, awarded by the world’s largest kizomba platform. I am grateful and very glad for all the affection you give me. Without you, none of this would be possible,” he wrote.
