A Infidelidade feminina em General Muzika

Abstract

Oral literature, our area of ​​concentration, is seen today as an art that expresses real or fictional events in words, images and sounds. Music plays a preponderant role in societies, especially in Mozambican communities. Through music, people express their desires, feelings, experiences and daily life. This essay focuses on female infidelity in the songs of the aforementioned musician. The main objective of this essay is to understand female infidelity in the songs of General Muzika, specifically, to identify, analyse and interpret elements that characterise women’s infidelity behaviour. In this author’s songs, we find a critical view of women’s marital infidelity behaviour, particularly in the songs “Hotele”, “Natisola” and “Mutirhi”. Therefore, we conclude that female infidelity is characterized by promiscuous sexual behavior with other men; the woman expresses a greedy desire for money, which makes her want to get sexually involved with other men; the author denounces the perversity of women within the family in relation to their husband and children and, finally, by the incomprehensible obsession with healers and pastors in intervening in marital matters. In the oral literature scenario, it constitutes an interventionist and pedagogical tendency in raising awareness of the different issues inherent to Mozambican society. (TRADUÇAO NOSSA)
