The story

Mozambique Music Meeting in Maputo

The Mozambique Music Meeting, held each March in Maputo, is the country's first dedicated showcase festival, bringing musicians, dancers and artists from Mozambique and the wider Lusophone world together for five days of concerts, workshops and industry panels. Alongside live showcases from emerging and established acts, the festival includes dance, photography and craft programming, plus food stalls serving Mozambican dishes such as peri-peri prawns and matapa.

Maputo, Mozambique's capital, hosts the country's first dedicated music industry showcase festival each March in the Mozambique Music Meeting, an event built specifically to boost the dissemination and promotion of Mozambican, regional and Lusophone music alongside the country's wider arts and culture scene.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

As Mozambique's first showcase festival, MMM combines a public-facing concert program with an industry-facing music market, letting artists connect with regional and international promoters and professionals in the same days they perform for festival audiences

02

The mystery stays covered

Its explicit focus on Lusophone, Portuguese-speaking, music and culture positions it within a specific regional network spanning Mozambique, Angola, Cape Verde, Brazil and Portugal rather than a generic pan-African festival format

03

The city starts moving

Layering food, dance, photography and craft programming around the core concert schedule gives visitors a broader sensory introduction to Mozambican culture beyond the music itself
