Abstract

This study proposes an analysis of women in Mozambican light music, the case of “Nwahulwana”, “Dadinha” and “Toma que te Dou”, aiming to answer the following research problem: how are women in the three songs mentioned above? When developing the problem of research, it was highlighted that the song is one of the forms of oral literature that serves to represent, shape society, entertain or inform. The analysis of the theme was guided by the hypothesis that the women are represented in the three songs as being inserted in a socio cultural environment that relates her to the home. Therefore, this hypothesis was validated and it was concluded that the three songs have a semantic content that refers to social criticism, especially in the deviant conduct of women that distorts the entire established social apparatus.
