“Matchume” Cândido Salomão Zango, has dedicated himself to Mozambican traditional music. His family’s roots lie in Zavala, in the heart of the country’s timbila tradition, a city in the Inhambane Province. From the age of six, Matchume felt inspired by this long and passionate legacy of music and percussion, and began to play and study the traditional instruments and compositions. He is a virtuoso on instruments such as the mbira, the xitende and the djembe drums and is currently regarded as one of the best masters of the timbila, which is also a World heritage instrument.
