	THE WAR ON EDUCATION - Reviews
		Ghorwane – the name comes from a lake that, even in the hottest season, never runs dry – prove that.
		Ghorwane were formed in 1983, in the thick of the bitter war that followed Portugal’s cession of the former colony in 1975, and their own history is inextricably tied to the volatile politics of their homeland.
		Band members oscillated between the group and the army while their chief and prolific writer, Jose ‘Zeca’ Alage, was murdered earlier this year - the motive for the murder was not political but it reflects the social turmoil endemic in Mozambique.

	Ghorwane - Vana-Va-Ndota / RootsWorld Recording Review
		Named for a lake in their home country that reportedly never runs dry, Mozambique's Ghorwane have been carrying on for 20 years now.
		Despite moments that veer close to a smooth jazz kind of glossiness, the simple strength of the grooves can be counted on to save the day along with the confessional quality of Roberto Chitsonzo's lead vocals and some aching support singing from the band.
		Ghorwane are known as the "Good Guys" of Mozambique, and their music makes the reasons clear- it's full of heart, spirit and an obvious love for the country and continent that spawned it.
