Synopsis

Product Description
Mabulu have toured the world extensively performing and refining their re-invented brand of Moçambique s popular & vibrant Marrabenta style of music.
The Grand Old Masters of this style; Lisboa Matavel & Dilon Djindji, join forces with a killer backing band and young stars Chiquito and Chonyl to fuse other Southern African musical influences, as well as genres like hip-hop, onto this very solid bed-rock to create truly dynamic and unique African flavours.
Mabulu furthermore brings socially conscious topics to the fore in their lyrics: AIDS, drugs and child prostitution are things not easily discussed in Africa and these messages, coupled with driving and danceable beats, do indeed open doors to honest and candid dialogue amongst the masses on these and many other sensitive topics...
Songlines world music magazine UK rated the album "Karimbo" from Mabulu as one of the top 50 world music albums of all time.
