Young musician Fermon Mondlane has joined forces with renowned activist and musician Stewart Sukuma to release the new song “Xitsungo”.
This composition aims to amplify the cry for help of the Mozambican people, who face a reality marked by inequality and repression.
The word “Xitsungo”, which means “People” in Tsonga, reflects the growing dissatisfaction of the population with the violence perpetrated by the authorities and the use of police force to silence those demanding basic rights and electoral truth.
Since October 2024, Mozambicans have been expressing their discontent, calling for justice and recognition of their needs.
The song comes in an alarming context, where violence in Mozambique has already resulted in more than 400 victims, including deaths, injuries and traumatization. “Xitsungo” not only narrates these tragedies, but also represents the ongoing struggle of the Mozambican people for a government that meets their true demands.
With a sound that combines electronic elements and melancholic melodies, “Xitsungo” is already gaining popularity on major streaming platforms, marking the first collaboration between Mondlane and Sukuma.
The song stands out as a powerful artistic statement in times of crisis, further solidifying both artists’ commitment to defending human rights in Mozambique.
