Tune Your World - Massukos
Watch the Calabash Video Channel
We are proud to present the group Massukos as the newest addition to our "Tune Your World" Campaign.
Massukos are superstars in their native country of Mozambique, and have been hailed as “the next Buena Vista Social Club”. Their sensational new album Bumping features jazz legends Harry Beckett and Steve Buckley.
Massukos have an enviable reputation as the country's most successful band but they are also making their mark as initiators of social change. Originating from Niassa in northern Mozambique, one of the poorest parts of Africa, Massukos speak out against the hardships that have affected their lives. Passionate about what they do, the band travels for miles to remote villages to deliver simple life-saving messages such as “more condoms less partners”. Feliciano dos Santos - the leader of Massukos - is also the director of Estamos, who are involved with the installation of latrines and clean water points, as well as hygiene and HIV/AIDS education.
Go buy this album. Have a big dance party! Come on!! Tell your friends to shake it up and do the same!! Massukos' video 'Niassa' offers up some sweet vocal harmonies and some fun call and response from their live shows while touring Mozambique.
