A contribuição da música de Xidimingwana na educação da sociedade moçambicana

Abstract

The present work reflects on the contribution of the songs of the artist Xidimingwana to the education of Mozambican society, specifically the inhabitants of the southern part of Mozambique, where this artist has a particular focus on the local language he uses and on the interpretation of his music. The research is qualitative in nature based on an interview in a convenience sample consisting of twenty respondents of different age groups, both sexes, with ages between eighteen and sixty years of age. The results of the research revealed that Xidimingwana's songs have effectively contributed to the education of communities due to their direct and incisive messages regarding the rules of good coexistence at home and in the community. Thus, 75% of respondents believe in good education as well as behavioral change for the positive in general due to the messages spread by the songs. For young people between 18 and 35 years old, the desire to take their letters for certain studies in the student career, mainly in higher education, and to serve as a library for future generations, was measured.
