The US R&B singer Mario arrived in the Angolan capital (Luanda) Saturday morning to perform this evening at Atlantic Cinema, a promotion of the Angolan "Casa Blanca" show company.

In brief declarations to the press at "4 de Fevereiro" International Airport, the North-American start said that it is an honour to be in Angola, and the first time in Africa, expressing surprise due to the fact that his music is very popular in this country.

About his modelling career, Mario said that everything is on track and he expects to reach other levels soon.

On his turn Henrique Miguel "Riquinho", owner of this show promoting company, stressed the singer's qualities, considering him as a complete artist, because he is a musician, actor, dancer and an international model.
