Mozambican rapper Iveth surprised fans by appearing dancing in her latest video. Xingombela, a traditional dance originating from the Gaza province, which also took root in the Maputo province. The gesture, in addition to being artistic, is a powerful declaration of cultural identity and appreciation of national roots.
In the video, Iveth incorporates authentic elements of dance. The scene is filled with drumming, whistles, and the vibrant sound of... xipalapala – a traditional instrument made from gazelle or antelope horn – creating an atmosphere reminiscent of moonlit nights where young people of both sexes traditionally gathered to dance the Xingombela.
With this initiative, Iveth not only fuses hip-hop with traditional dances, but also contributes to the preservation and appreciation of Mozambican culture among new generations. Her performance is an example of the power that music has to rescue stories and traditions that are often forgotten over time.
