The solidarity event will bring together names such as Xixel Langa, Mingas, Onésia Muhulove, Pauleta Muhulove, Wazimbo, Yolanda Kakana, and Stewart Sukuma, under the musical direction of Zé Pires.

The concert is in support of Kaya, a social inclusion space that daily serves more than 100 meals to people experiencing homelessness or vulnerable economic conditions, promoting dignity, acceptance, and hope.

Tickets for the concert are on sale for the symbolic price of 250 meticais. All proceeds will go directly to providing a meal to someone in need.

"Artists' Soup" was born from the conviction that culture is also a path to inclusion—a true "food for the soul" with the power to bring together people who are often invisible to society. Over five weeks, participating artists volunteered at Kaya, serving meals and offering small concerts to its beneficiaries. These moments brought not only food, but also human contact, joy, and recognition of the transformative role of art.

Kaya is a social initiative resulting from a partnership between Makobo and MPDC. Created in 2020, it functions as an inclusion center offering meals, training opportunities, referrals to social services, and activities that contribute to the dignified reintegration of vulnerable people.
