Mozambique: Xixel Langa pays homage to Maputo on new single

The song, which is available for streaming and download on major digital platforms, is an introspective creation arising from a deep well of sentiment. It’s a heartfelt tribute to Maputo, the city that embodies the very essence of Xixel Langa’s soulful melody – a musical tribute that captures the profound connection between the artist and the city.

‘Maputo’ is more than just a composition, it is a tale woven with intricate threads of the city’s vibrant spirit, a narrative that paints a vivid picture of its pulsating rhythm, culture and the flavours that define its identity and that of its denizens.

“The song is a heartfelt ode to Maputo, a city that is not just mine but also the very essence of my province,” Xixel Langa said. “It’s the place where I came into this world, where my journey began, where I grew up surrounded by happiness and good health. It’s within Maputo’s embrace that I took my first steps, both in life and on the dance floor.”

‘Maputo’ is a symphonic voyage that invites listeners to embark upon a sensory expedition through the streets of Mozambique’s capital. In this masterpiece, Xixel Langa has orchestrated not just music, but the intricate tapestry of her heritage and the vibrant heartbeat of Maputo.

‘Maputo’ is a harmonious sequel to the recently released single ‘B'ava’, and both provide a taste of what to expect on her forthcoming album.
