Renowned Mozambican artist Gasso Franco surprised his fans by revisiting his Hip-Hop days to bring up important reflections on the current state of entertainment in Mozambique. Although currently dedicated to Kizomba, Gasso decided to use his voice and art to address fundamental issues affecting the country's cultural landscape.
At a time when the appreciation of national culture seems to have lost its way, Gasso Franco does not hesitate to raise incisive questions about the state of affairs.
It is undeniable that Mozambique possesses a rich and diverse cultural heritage that deserves to be celebrated and promoted. However, it seems that, over time, the focus on valuing this culture has been lost, giving way to a relentless pursuit of external influences and global trends.
Gasso Franco emphasizes that, instead of pointing fingers and looking for someone to blame for the current state of Mozambican entertainment, it is time for everyone to unite and seek effective solutions. A joint effort from artists, producers, authorities, and the community at large is needed to revitalize and promote national culture in an authentic and meaningful way.
Gasso Franco's message is clear: it's time to look inward, value our roots, and promote Mozambique's rich cultural heritage. Only through recognizing and supporting our own art and expression can we build a vibrant and sustainable entertainment landscape for future generations.
Watching Gasso Franco's video reminds us of the importance of preserving and promoting Mozambican cultural identity, and how each of us can contribute to strengthening our cultural legacy. May Gasso's words and music inspire a new era of appreciation and respect for national culture in Mozambique.
