The music video for his song "Eu Sou da Baía" reached 2 million views on YouTube, just four months after its release.

More than just a song, "Eu Sou da Baía" has become a true anthem for Mozambican youth, celebrating the natural, cultural, and emotional beauty of Pemba Bay—considered the third largest bay in the world. The song has gained popularity throughout the country, especially among younger people, and has become an emblem of regional pride in Cabo Delgado.
The special event for children, hosted by the artist, reinforced the connection between music, childhood, and roots. By transforming his story and origins into art, AZ Khinera reaffirms the power of music as a tool for promoting local culture.
With this achievement, the artist not only celebrates a significant number of views but also consolidates his voice as a cultural ambassador for his homeland. Pemba Bay sings with him: “I’m from Bahia” is, in fact, already a national anthem.
