Early Life and Education

Eduardo Fernandes was born on 29 June 1982 in M’banza-Kongo, the historic capital of the ancient Kongo Kingdom in Angola’s Zaire Province. His parents, Manuel Fernandes and Maria Fineza, raised him culturally.

Growing up speaking both Portuguese and Kikongo, Kyaku was influenced by the chants and rhythms of the Bakongo people, which later shaped his musical identity.

He completed his primary education in M’banza-Kongo before relocating to Cuanza Norte Province, where he graduated from Seminário Santos Mártires do Uganda in 2004. In 2005, he enrolled at Universidade Agostinho Neto in Luanda, earning a bachelor’s degree in Work Psychology (2008).

He later obtained a master’s degree in Governance and Public Management from the same institution.

Before fully committing to music, he worked as a lecturer in psychology and governance at several higher institutions, including Universidade Metodista de Angola and Universidade Privada de Angola.

He first gained national attention after winning the Festival Nacional de Trovas in 2009, which showcased emerging Angolan talent. His debut album, Se Hungwile (2014), introduced his signature style — lyrical storytelling combined with the melancholic yet vibrant sounds of kizomba and mbembo (a regional rhythm of Zaire Province). The album included notable tracks like “Kilamba,” “Lola,” and “Monica.”

In 2017, he released his second album, Igual ao Prazer, featuring hits such as “Entre 7 e 7 Rosas” and “Minha Alma.” The album earned both critical acclaim and commercial success, elevating him among Angola’s top contemporary artists.

In 2020, Kyaku founded a music and cultural entrepreneurship workshop that trains young artists to monetize creativity while preserving cultural identity. His commitment to education and music has made him a respected figure in both academia and entertainment.
