On the gala night dedicated to the official launch of the campaign for the AfroBasket 2025, One of the most memorable moments was protagonized by Ziqo da Silva, which surprised the audience by bringing to the stage a traditional rhythm with deep roots in northern Mozambique: the Kadoda.
Originally from the province of Niassa, Kadoda is a musical and rhythmic expression that combines dance, percussion, and cultural identity. Although still relatively unexplored on major national stages, the style has immense potential to represent the authenticity and diversity of Mozambican culture. During his performance, Ziqo showed that Kadoda, when combined with artistic creativity and the appreciation of roots, can conquer new spaces and audiences.

The presence of rhythms like Kadoda at a continental event such as the AfroBasket 2025 campaign demonstrates the organizers' commitment not only to sport, but also to the promotion of culture and national identity. Ziqo's performance was more than a musical spectacle—it was an act of exaltation of roots and an invitation to reflect on the power of culture as a tool for unity and representation.
With this gesture, Ziqo and Kadod take a firm step towards revitalization and a well-deserved place of prominence within the Mozambican artistic landscape. May this moment serve as inspiration for artists, institutions, and the public in general to embrace and promote what is ours.
