El Gino

Born in Luanda, Angola mixed with Congolese roots, Jovánio Mbemba fondly known has El Gino is an Kizomba, Afro-Beats & Afrofusion singer/songwriter and producer with a very distinct way of creating his art. The sensual and energetic vibes he brings makes his music one of a kind. El Gino got into the music scenario through his Helder brother Florito whom sparked the desire unto him when he was just 10 years old. Although Florito inspired El Gino we could say they got the music touch from their mother Dr. Isabel Cristina Neves, whom at her youth years used to sing at Church and was a backup vocalist for various gospel and mainstream artists in Angola. At age of 4 him and his family moved to Namibia, Windhoek where they lived for 13 years. El Gino currently is based between Angola and Portugal. In 2020 he was nominated for 3 categories in the Angolan Music Awards , "Best New Comer", "Best Kizomba" and "Best internet artist" which he didn't win but the fact of being part of the show sharing nominations with big acts is considered a win already.
