Lizha James celebrates African culture at the Makoti Festival: “Our culture is our identity”

Lizha James, one of the greatest divas of Mozambican music, once again graced one of the most symbolic stages for the promotion of African cultural values—the Makoti Festival. With a career that spans generations and borders, Lizha has shared the stage with great women of culture from across the continent, reaffirming her role as an active voice in the promotion of African identity.

The artist expressed her pride on social media, emphasizing the importance of participating in an event that highlights African cultural diversity and richness, especially at a time when, according to her, "our culture is marginalized." For Lizha, the experience was more than a performance: it was an act of resistance, inspiration, and a renewed commitment to valuing what is genuinely African.

“"Our culture is rich. Our culture is valuable. Our culture is our identity. It is everyone's responsibility to reclaim this identity," wrote Lizha James.

With these words, Lizha James not only extols the importance of preserving cultural values, but also launches a collective appeal: the need to protect and promote African culture as an integral part of the struggle for dignity, representation, and self-affirmation.

The Makoti Festival, known for bringing together African female talent in the arts, music, and dance, was another platform where Lizha demonstrated her talent, charisma, and, above all, her deep connection to her Mozambican roots.

With a solid and influential career, Lizha James continues to use her voice for much more than music—as an instrument of empowerment, cultural affirmation, and inspiration for new generations.

His testimony at the Makoti Festival is another chapter in a story marked by a passion for Mozambique and the defense of African culture.
