This unusual Rough Guide presents the most popular but under-represented rhythm of the vast, ethically diverse land of Mozambique. The album brings together the 'grand old men' of the style with the new marrabenta movement with many previously unreleased tracks especially recorded for this album. Here is the triumph of Mozambican talent over civil war and natural disaster; with many tracks you won't hear anywhere else.


Artists include: Orchestra Marrabenta Star De Mocamique; Dilon Djindji; Wazimbo; Eyuphuro; Mabulu; Ghorwane; Alberto Mula and Francisco Mahecuane.
