If you don’t already, you need to know about Xixel Langa, the talented Mozambican dancer and songstress. With her latest song, “Maputo”, she welcomes us to her city. I suggest that this song be your entry point into Xixel’s world.

The artist’s sound is jazz-inflected Afro-fusion. On this track, the soulful vocals and lush instrumentation are totally captivating.

About “Maputo”, Xixel says, “The song serves as a heartfelt ode to Maputo, the town that is not just mine but also the very essence of my province. 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. “
