ANDRÉ CABAÇO | Born in Maputo, Mozambique, he has lived in Portugal for over 20 years. When he arrived, he sought not only to maintain his roots from his homeland but also to delve into new genres and styles, particularly Funk and Jazz. Alongside Portuguese musicians and those from Portuguese-speaking countries, he participated in the "Sons da Fala" and "Sons da Lusofonia" projects, representing Mozambique. However, André Cabaço's musical career stands out primarily as a composer, having authored several musical works and also composed music for theatrical plays.
