Desenvolvimento de uma nova funcionalidade de votação de músicas na plataforma MyMuze

Abstract

Music is a fundamental element of Mozambican culture, reflecting the country's ethnic, social and historical diversity. However, Mozambican music faces challenges in achieving greater visibility and international recognition. One of these challenges is the lack of access to digital streaming platforms that promote Mozambican music. The company Vodacom Mozambique created a link with the MYMUZE platform to promote Mozambican music. The platform offers access to a catalog of more than 20 million songs, including Mozambican music. However, the platform still faced challenges in promoting music, such as the lack of a song voting feature. This professional internship report work proposed a new music voting functionality within the MYMUZE platform. The functionality was implemented and allowed users to vote for the songs they liked the most. The songs with the most votes were highlighted on the platform, which helped increase the visibility of Mozambican music. Therefore, this work contributed to the understanding of the role of technology in promoting Mozambican culture, offering a solution to the challenges faced by the MYMUZE platform in the context of Mozambican music.
