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.

Think of '...INBEAT...' as being a '...Global Community...' that belongs to all of its Members... Just like an Internet based United Nations, if you will. It will be used as a mechanism for addressing some of the present and future Global Challenges through the timely introduction of '...Precisioned Initiatives...' that the Community can execute. Because of the precisioned attributes of the '...Envisioned Initiatives...', they would invariably be less costly and more effective than prevailing "programs". Why, you may ask? : Simply because the Initiatives will be coming directly from their '...Source Of Origin...'.
