He was born in Angola and also holds Belgian and Congolese citizenship.
Cavanda moved to Belgium at a young age and began playing for the Belgian club Standard Liège. In January 2007, Italian side Lazio loaned him to Rome. With Lazio, Cavanda spent three-and-a-half years with the youth side.
In 2009, Cavanda made a substitute appearance in a 4–0 win away to Bulgarian club Levski Sofia in the UEFA Europa League. He got his first start in the return match at the Stadio Olimpico, which Lazio lost 0–1.
On 29 August 2010, Cavanda made his Serie A debut, replacing Simone Del Nero in the second half of Lazio's opening day 2–0 loss to Sampdoria at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris.
His first league start for Lazio came at the Stadio Olimpico against eventual champions Milan. Cavanda earned plaudits with an impressive display against former FIFA World Player of the Year and World Cup winner Ronaldinho.
