Her professional debut came with the release of the single "I'll Be Fine," a song that marked the beginning of her affirmation as an artist and opened the way for new collaboration opportunities.
Later, she joined CSV and participated in the song "Chega," in collaboration with a renowned national artist, reinforcing her presence in the Mozambican music scene and expanding her experience in collective creation contexts.
With a versatile sound identity, the artist blends R&B, hip-hop, kizomba, pop, and local influences. In a continuously evolving career, Yadah Angel has released the EPs "Limbo" and "Atitude," projects that highlight her artistic evolution and ability to explore different emotions, narratives, and musical languages.
The artistic direction of the Mbenga Platform highlights: “This concert reinforces our commitment to valuing emerging artists, as well as creating spaces for listening, visibility, and circulation for new voices in Mozambican music,” said Hélio Nguane.
The Mbenga Live Session is a cultural project of the Mbenga Arts and Reflections Platform, in partnership with Rádio Cidade, which aims to promote musical experiences and broaden the reach of contemporary Mozambican music, bringing artists and audiences closer together in live sessions with a strong artistic and community dimension.
Previous editions featured artists such as Shelsia Mac, Nephew 258, Ivan Manyike, and The Rosee, consolidating the project as a platform for valuing national and contemporary musical diversity.
