The show marks the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the independence of former Portuguese colonies in Africa and involves a new generation of musicians, aimed at strengthening ties and promoting cultural diversity.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>The performance not only honors the 50 years of African independence but also addresses relevant social issues. For this initiative, Selma has invited five young Afro-descendent singers: B\u00e1rbara Wahnon, Nayr Faquir\u00e1, Ola Mekelburgh, Yeni Varela, and Yeri Varela. They will join the string quartet Active Mess and Orquestra Gera\u00e7\u00e3o, which works with young people from challenging socio-economic backgrounds.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>This collaborative space will also include the musicians who regularly accompany Selma, such as Augusto Macedo, Gon\u00e7alo Santuns, Nataniel Melo, and Milton Gulli. The artist A Garota N\u00e3o, known for her focus on social issues, will also perform, presenting a new composition for the event.<\/p>\r\n<p>Having lived in Portugal since childhood, Selma Uamusse has a diverse musical background that includes gospel, rock, and jazz. She is known for her albums \"MAti,\" released in 2018, and \"Liwoningo,\" released in 2020, featuring songs in Portuguese, English, and Mozambican languages.<\/p>\r\n<p>(From MozaVibe)<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[caption id=\"attachment_2381\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"700\"] Photo: Selma Uamusse[\/caption] &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2381,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":true,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wds_primary_category":1,"footnotes":""},"categories":[16,7],"tags":[680],"class_list":["post-2378","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-destacadas","category-diaspora","tag-selma-uamusse"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mozavibe.co.mz\/en_US\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2378","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mozavibe.co.mz\/en_US\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mozavibe.co.mz\/en_US\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mozavibe.co.mz\/en_US\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mozavibe.co.mz\/en_US\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2378"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/mozavibe.co.mz\/en_US\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2378\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2383,"href":"https:\/\/mozavibe.co.mz\/en_US\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2378\/revisions\/2383"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mozavibe.co.mz\/en_US\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2381"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mozavibe.co.mz\/en_US\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2378"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mozavibe.co.mz\/en_US\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2378"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mozavibe.co.mz\/en_US\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2378"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
