PLEASE NOTE (November, 2011): The CD 'Vuka Africa' and the DVD 'Mingas ao Vivo' were sold out for a long time, but are
now, finally, available again in Maputo stores!
You'll find them, for example, at CNA, Mabuko, Bazart (CCFM), at major hotels and in many other shops and music venues in Maputo.
We are also trying to make them available to other parts of the country, and elsewhere, but this will unfortunately take some time.
Sorry about the delay!
