Sister of two musicians, Filomena reinforces in her song the pride of being a daughter of Nampula, the capital of northern Mozambique, a city that carries a rich historical and cultural legacy.
Remember that Nampula was elevated to the status of a town on December 19, 1934., achieving city status in August 22, 1956. Today, 69 years later, the city continues to assert itself as one of the most important urban centers in the country, due to its cultural diversity, economic growth, and contribution to national identity.
