_______________________
Cultural dance is very popular in Mozambique. The most popular dance in the rural community of 3 de Fevereiro - “3rd of February” - is xingomana, which is performed by both children and adults. Xingomana, accompanied by songs rich in meaning and context, has also become an important tool to communicate educational messages such as the dangers of early pregnancies and the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases and HIV/AIDS.
Watch Mozambicans dancing throughout Nampula!
