Wazimbo is the golden voice of Mozambique. He started his career in the 1960's, playing with various bands in the capital Maputo, when that city was a gambling Mecca for rich South Africans. After Mozambique's independence from Portugal in 1975 Wazimbo worked with the big band of the national radio station, Radio Mozambique, which went on to become the much-loved Orchestra Marrabenta Star De Mocambique developed a full and funky style of marrabenta featuring electric guitars, powerful horn lines and soulful vocals.
