I grew up on Ilha de Mozambique in a mixed context of several cultures and histories, with a rich beautiful nature as a background. I was influenced by the music of many diverse rhythms resulting from the cultures of different peoples who, through centuries, came to this island.
Ilha de Mozambique ('Mozambique Island') is a tiny island, just off the coast of Natala province, which, because of its location, was for centuries, a strategical gate to the backcountry and a way to the Indian Ocean. The island used to be the capital of the country and the most important point of transit and commerce for the Arabs, Persians, Indians, Chinese and Portuguese who, years later, colonized the territory. The country was called Mozambique after the name of a sultan.

Born in 1955 in Mossuril in the Mozambican province of Nampula. Based in Denmark. Recorded an album with Eyphuro on Real World Records. Teach music at World Music Center in Aarhus, where I live with my family.
'A LUZ' is my first album as a soloist. It is the result of many years of training and experience in Denmark as well as in Mozambique - a journey into my career as a musician and composer.
See a seven-minutes tv-report about Gimo Mendes and '500 Anos' - awarded as 'World Track of the Year' at Danish World Awards 2007 (in Danish language):
How are you doing? I just wanted to send a humble reminder that the national bestselling Christian book, Carnal Striving Spiritual, is available for secure purchase from my Myspace page, which has links to Amazon, Barnes & Noble and my official website.
The already acclaimed book has been critically reviewed as one of the best Christian books of 2009. Dr. Cornel West, America's most prestigious scholar, calls the book "brilliant and with a bold message." Bishop Hilliard, one of the nation's most prominent pastors, says that the book begs the attention of the reader.
Your support is not about me, it's about you and supporting the Kingdom. Thanks.
