Marrabenta is music from the beautiful country of Mozambique, situated on the African east coast. Mozambique was a Portuguese colony from 1505 to 1975, and it's music reflects many cultures. It also reflects the struggle for independence, the ravages of a long war, and portrays the many faces of this beautiful country, from it's spectacular coastline on the Indian Ocean, to it's rugged and evocative mountains and countryside. The present release is a dazzling representation of Mozambique's very own musical tradition. A dash of exotic fun, and the heady spirit of Mozambique's nightlife. These are exciting songs with lyrics in Shangaan, Ronga, and Portuguese. Travel to the sunny southeast of the African continent for this enjoyable summer music.
