...featuring Wazimbo
Marrabenta is the groovy, exciting sound of Mozambiques capitol city Maputo:
percussive rhythms, expressive vocals and dazzling brass-sections melt together to a lively, light music which is earthier than the Soukous of Zaire and more subtly than southafrican Jive.
Listening to this music makes you feel happyness and fortune, grounded in the immovable belief in freedom and florishing of this country. Orchestra Marrabenta Star de Mozambique combine self-confident texts with pulsing dance-rhythms to bring this energetic atmosphere.
