WHAT NEXT? Utopia or the End of Ideology - NI 213 - Reviews Eyuphuro, from the Macua word meaning whirlwind, is an apt name for a band which whirls you away from the all-too-prevalent perception of Mozambique as a place of war, famine and refugees, to the image of a young and dynamic society. Eyuphuro's lyrics come from a Mozambican context and from the heart. And, like Eyuphuro, the Kafala Brothers have a cosmopolitan influence, blending traditional and urban styles and reflecting Congolese, Zairean, Brazilian and Cuban rhythms in a combination of vocals, flute and guitar. www.newint.org /issue213/reviews.htm   (2068 words)
