Sandrin da V.A formed in 1976 in Luanda, Angola, during the country's liberation struggle. The band, fronted by singer-songwriter Sandrinho Barbosa, included musicians like Mussolo on bass, Zé do Pau on guitar, and Zezim on drums. Their music often addressed political themes, which sometimes brought them into conflict with authorities.
Their debut album 'Angola's Struggle' featured the track 'A Guerra Está Pra Nós,' which became associated with the resistance movement. Other songs like 'A Guerra Estourou' and 'Mandralinda' continued in this vein, blending traditional Angolan sounds with rock elements. The band performed both publicly and in more underground settings when facing restrictions.
The group's work remains part of Angola's musical history from that period, documented through recordings like these songs.
