The 67-year-old singer was admitted to the Girassol Clinic in the capital. He was, along with Carlitos Vieira Dias and Bonga, one of the main names of the New Semba in Angola.
He began his career in the early 70s of the last century, and in 1974 he recorded, with the Semba Group, a selection of Angolan themes that remained in the history of national popular music.
In 1983, Burity joined "Canto Livre de Angola", a project by Brazilian singer Martinho da Vila, who took him to Brazil with other important names in Angolan music and with whom he joined the group Semba Tropical, which would record a hit album in London.
After a long period without recording, Burity reappeared with a notable success in 1991, with "Angolaritmo", launching the following year "Carolina", "Massemba" in 1996, "Uanga" in 1998, "Zuela ó Kidi", in 2002 , "Paxiiami", in 2006, and more recently, "Malalanza", in 2010.
