Angolares Lullaby Lyrics. An original lullaby inspired by the Angolares, descendants of shipwrecked Angolan captives who settled Sao Tome’s southern coast. The Angolares built their communities as skilled fishermen along a rugged coastline few others could settle, and over generations they developed their own distinct Angolar creole, still spoken in the villages today. Here you will find the lyrics, meaning, and chords.
