Ghorwane

Ghorwane

Ghorwane is a Mozambican marrabenta band. It was founded in 1983. The band got its name after the lake of the same name in the province of Gaza. Their style is a combination of traditional Mozambique music, Afropop, and fusion. Ghorwane's music is sung in local languages, including Shangaan. The band's composer and saxophonist, Jose "Zeca" Alage, was murdered in 1993. Their 2005 album VANA VA NDOTA was dedicated to Zeca Alage (1959-1993) and Pedro Langa (1959-2001)

Later that same year, Ghorwane started a music co-operative, the first of its kind in Mozambique,with the intention of promoting Mozambican music, improving working conditions forlocal musicians and protecting composers rights.
