Traditional Mozambique Dance
Marrabenta is the best-known form of
music from Mozambique. It is urban in origin, and meant for dancing.
Marrabenta was born as a fusion of imported European music played on
improvised materials. The word marrabenta derives from the Portuguese
rebentar (arrabentar in the local vernacular), meaning to break, a reference
to cheap guitar strings that snapped quickly. Instruments were fashioned out
of tin cans and pieces of wood. Lyrics were usually in local languages, and
included songs of social criticism as well as love. The late 1970s saw
tremendous innovation in marrabenta, as 1001 Music Productions recorded
artists and staged large concerts. The compilation album Amanhecer was
released, followed by more such LPs under the title Ngoma.
The most influential early marrabenta performer was Fany Pfumo, whose fame
began after the success of "Loko ni kumbuka Jorgina". He recorded in South
Africa on HMV and later incorporated South African kwela into his music. The
group Orchestra Marrabenta Star de Moçambique formed in 1979, led by
long-time performer Wazimbo. The group toured Europe and other parts of the
world, and soon brought international recognition to marrabenta.
Many of the most popular musicians in modern Mozambique spent time with
Orchestra Marrabenta Star de Moçambique, including Stewart Sukuma, Chico
António, José Mucavel and Mingas, while other popular bands include Ghorwane.

Culturarte
Panaibra GABRIEL lives and works in Maputo, the capital of
Mozambique. He started off as a traditional dancer in 1993, but
then switched to modern dance. Abroad, his approach linked up
with the initiatives of Danças na Cidade (Lisbon), often
alongside choreographers carrying out advanced research. In
France, he choreographed a solo performance for Sandra Martinez
in the context of “Vif du sujet” programmed by the SACD in
Montpellier (“Danse 05”). He leads a training programme in
Mozambique in close cooperation with artists from Madagascar (Ariry
Andriamoratsiresy) and South Africa (Boyzie Cekwana).
Culturarte was founded in 1998 by Panaibra Gabriel. As well as
its productions, this company is also developing a workshop
programme and runs a six-month vocational training
course,designed, notably, in partnership with P.A.R.T.S.
