Following DJ Faya's recent statements on the Batidas program, discussions have arisen regarding the role of these platforms in promoting content that does not add value to local culture.
Some artists and young people have expressed concerns about the lack of authenticity and the predominance of superficial themes on television and social media. They observe that the pursuit of audience share often leads content producers to prioritize sensationalist topics at the expense of deeper and more relevant cultural issues.
One example cited is the case of musicians, where a presence on social media is often seen as a determining factor for success. This raises questions about the balance between the individual promotion of artists and the preservation of Mozambican cultural identity.
Although there is criticism regarding the current approach of media and social networks, it is also important to recognize the efforts of individuals like Bang, who dedicated time and resources to promoting Mozambican culture. His legacy highlights the importance of valuing and preserving local traditions, even in an environment dominated by global trends.
However, a broader debate and collaboration between the various sectors of society is needed to find solutions that promote a more inclusive and culturally enriching media. It is crucial to ensure that communication platforms not only seek audience but also promote an authentic and diverse narrative that truly reflects the richness of Mozambican culture.
