		In Mozambique, the military decision to withdraw occurred within the context of a decade of armed anti-colonial struggle, initially led by American-educated Eduardo Mondlane, who was assassinated in 1969.
		Mozambique is located in southeastern Africa, bordered on the east by the Mozambique Channel in the Indian Ocean.
		Mozambique's decision to enforce UN sanctions against Rhodesia and deny that country access to the sea led Ian Smith's regime to undertake overt and covert actions to destabilize the country.

	Music of Mozambique - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mozambican music also influenced another Lusophone music in Brazil, like maxixe (its name derived from Maxixe in Mozambique), and Cuban music like Mozambique.
		By the time independence came in 1975, Mozambican bands had abandoned their previous attempts at European-style music, and began forging new forms based out of local folk styles and the new African popular music coming from Zaire, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Zambia and South Africa.
		Marrabenta is the best-known form of music from Mozambique.

	Music of Mozambique: Rough Guide / RootsWorld Recording Review
		The Rough Guide to Marrabenta Mozambique is a relatively broad snapshot of marrabenta music as performed by three generations of the genre's stars.
		After many years of world music wilderness, Mozambique has managed to rekindle some old flames and to launch some of its emerging music stars onto the international scene, courtesy of some non-governmental organisations and Roland Hohberg, who owns the only private recording studio in the country and was commissioned to record for this release.
		What is certain, however, is that the music is dynamic, having evolved from the days when it was very basic, played on instruments made from recycled locally available materials, to include some elements as innovative as rapping.

	Ghorwane - Music of Mozambique
		With Karen Boswell as musical director, Ghorwane made the music for the soap opera series "Não é preciso empurrar" - you don’t have to push -, an education series for the elections in 1994.
		The devastating floods and cyclones that hit Mozambique between February and early April were the worst in 40 years.
		The result is an inspired and solid set of Afro-pop music made by artists from the community, but more significantly a portion of the proceeds from this recording will come back to help the country.

		The rugged terrain and dense vegetation characterizing this vast region of the east African coast is just one reason that Mozambique has proven such a difficult country to unify.
		No surprise that the 1960s and '70s found Mozambique embroiled in a struggle for independence that was both sustained and bloody.
		Its music industry is underdeveloped, but its cultural riches are substantial, from the wild rhythms and buzzing melodies of Chopi timbila (wooden xylophone) orchestras and rich vocal harmonies of the Shangan people in the south to a fragile but promising jazz and experimental-music scene in the capital, Maputo.

	Music From Mozambique / RootsWorld Recording Review
		As a study of the cultural and musical diversity of Mozambique, this CD is second to none.
		The close links with the music of surrounding countries are in evidence in the Zimbabwean style yodeling by David Mazembe in "Urombo," the similarity to Oliver Mtukudzi of Augusto Guta and the use of the ChiNdau language, a Shona dialect.
		While the title might lead one to believe that all of Mozambique is musically represented on this recording, this is not the case.

		What is special about this CD -and Mabulu in general- is the mix of different generations and several music styles.
		The music is full of positive energy and the songs all have a clear message, especially related to social problems that countries like Mozambique currently face.
		The generation mix is also visible in the composition of the group; the musicians ages vary from 20 to 70 years old.

		The terrible Mozambique floods that occurred early in 2000 aroused the world's sympathy.
		They're backed by a combo consisting of guitars, drums, percussion, and background vocals, and the music rocks with tinges of reggae and rap, especially on "Yingisa" and the Afro-dancehall version of the traditional Mozambican song "Ngoma Macandju." The most poignant track is "Ndambi" ("Floods"), which highlights the true wealth of this musical nation.
		While the description in the review of the evolution of the music is probably technically accurate, the only similarities I've found to the BVSC is that you can detect latin roots in the music and that Mabulu is perhaps the best example from and entire regional music scene that is internationally underappreciated.
