With a unique and uplifting blend of traditional sounds from Mozambique it has a truly seductive groove. The hauntingly beautiful 'Pangira' will stir emotions that linger for days, while tracks such as 'Mudacia Wana' and the reggae inspired 'Ndjango' are guaranteed to get you on your feet.<br /><br />Originating from Niassa in northern Mozambique, one of the poorest parts of Africa, Massukos speak out against the hardships that have affected their lives. Passionate about what they do, the band travels for miles to remote villages to deliver simple life-saving messages such as &ldquo;more condoms less partners&rdquo;. Feliciano dos Santos - the leader of Massukos - is also the director of Estamos, who are involved with the installation of latrines and clean water points, as well as hygiene and HIV/AIDS education.<br /><br />Buy this album and make a difference in Mozambique. Have a big dance party! Come on!! Tell your friends to shake it up and do the same!!Fri, 25 Jul 2008 09:21:34 -0500http://massukos.calabashmusic.com/#album_85163
