Background notes
Archive material and source history
Coral Novo Canto formed in Maputo in 1983, a group of musicians interested in traditional Mozambican folk music. Their early work drew from Chopi, Makonde, and Sena traditions, using polyrhythms and vocal harmonies. Their debut album 'Fortes' came out in 1988, which included the song of the same name.
During the Mozambican Civil War, the group faced censorship for lyrics that touched on political and social issues. They kept performing through that period, with later albums like 'Terra' in 1993 and 'Xigubo' in 1999. Other songs in their catalog include 'Canção do Rei' and 'Ao Pé da Cruz'.
Their music has stayed grounded in those folk traditions while incorporating contemporary elements. The group has continued recording and performing with shifting membership over the decades.
