Nova Cidade de Kilamba (Kilamba New City) is a large housing development 30 km (18 miles) from Luanda, the capital city of Angola. It is being built by the China International Trust and Investment Corporation.
Kilamba covers an area of 8.8 square kilometers and will eventually offer 25,000 homes for more than 200,000 inhabitants. It comprises about 750 apartment blocks ranging from 5 to 13 floors, over 100 commercial premises, 17 schools and 24 daycare centers to provide care and education for children, as well as open 240 stores to drive the local economy. The cost is reported as US$3.5 billion, financed by a Chinese credit line and repaid by the Angolan government with oil.
As of July 2012, the buildings were largely complete but still unoccupied. Only 220 apartments had been sold out of the first release of 2,800. Sales were slow due to affordability and difficulty in obtaining mortgage loans. One school was in operation, but children were travelling in by bus from other areas as there was no one living nearby. The government planned to use some of the residential blocks as social housing.
Viernes
Viernes, noche en la playa,
camino con calma, la fiesta me espera ya,
siente la brisa en la cara, la luna que te habla,
la fiesta ya va a empezar.
De pronto veo como se acerco,
viene a mi de frente algo que me hipnotizo,
algo que brilla como el mismo sol,
creo que me miro,
pasas y me dejas tu olor, que me enloquece,
me prende, oh baby,
creo que he descubierto el amor, ¿como te llamas? adivínalo tu.
Perfume, el aire nos mueve,
el mar que nos canta, la brisa me hace vibrar,
tienes ese cuerpesito, cuando tu bailas,
me quiero desmayar.
La noche empieza se siente el calor,
el volumen va aunmentando junto a mi respiración,
en esos ojos mi reflejo habló,
eso azul pierdo yo.
Hablas y disfruto tu voz, que me enloquece,
me prende, oh baby, creo que he descubierto el amor,
pierdo la calma, dime que sientes tu.
Las luces, que alumbran tu cara,
la música habla, nos quiere enamorar,
dj toca en la casa, mueve a la banda,
nadie nos va a parar,
vienes, te acercas con calma,
y algo en el alma se empieza a incendiar,
yehh pues te invito a la playa, la luna plateada,
hoy nos va a iluminar.
