During his youth he was a sportsman, being both in athletics and in football as a player for Clube Atlético de Luanda.[2] His nickname "Liceu" came from the Liceu Salvador Correia in Luanda, which had been inaugurated a little before his birth. The nickname was part of a larger trend at that time to name children in relation to some relevant fact or event that had occurred around the time of their birth.

He began his musical career while a government employee at the National Bank of Angola in the 1930s, a position he held until he was imprisoned in 1959. He was forced out of the institution in 1962, after a disciplinary process claimed that he frequently did not show up for work despite having been imprisoned during that time period.[2]

Liceu was one of the founders of Ngola Ritmos in 1947. The musical group was founded at the house of Manuel dos Passos in the Bairro Operário neighborhood of Luanda. It was founded by Liceu, Nino Mário Araújo “Ndongo“, and Domingos Van-Dúnen. Soon after forming the group, they were joined by Francisco Machado, Lourdes Van-Dúnem, and Belita Palma.[2] With melodies played on acoustic guitars, they also played the dicanza and ngoma drums in their songs. Their style of music became popular from the 1940s to the 1960s, largely in urban areas that were sympathetic to their political and nationalist messages. Liceu and the group have since become known as pioneers in Angolan popular music, having also sung in Kimbundu versus the colonially imposed Portuguese.[3]

Liceu was also one of the co-founders of the Movement for the Independence of Angola (MIA) and MPLA.[4] He was later imprisoned for more than a decade at Tarrafal concentration camp in Cape Verde, being implicated in the Trial of Fifty.[5] By the time he had left prison in 1969, Liceu attempted to reunite the members of Ngola Ritmos again in the 1970s, but encountered major difficulties due to political persecution. They were effectively blocked out of public performances or political activities. After the war for Angola's independence ended in 1975, the subsequent civil war brought a rapid decline to musical productions in Angola. In 1978, Ngola Ritmos made their last public appearance with all of their members. Liceu began performing solo afterwards.[6]
