WSA team is honored to be presenting the great music of the award-winning Mozambique sax player and composer Moreira Chonguica including him to our worldwide sax community.
>> Mozambique jazz star Moreira Chonguiça eagerly anticipated 8th album Sounds of Peace is out on November 4th, five years after the acclaimed release ‘M & M’ which saw him partner with ‘The Lion of Africa’ Manu Dibango.
With influences including Miles Davis, Fela Kuti, Percy Sledge and long-time colleague Manu Dibango, the saxophonist’s music mixes flavors from his Mozambican heritage with a sensibility that spans groove, soul, world music, smooth and contemporary jazz.
Inspired by the rich diversity of the multitude of languages and tribes that make up Mozambique’s cultural landscape, Moreira has used vocal melodies, rhythms, and instruments on a number of the
songs sung in a variety of different regional languages including Makhuwa, Makonde, and Changana.
“I want to show young people, to share with young people, who make up a significant part of the world’s population, that there are no boundaries in culture no matter what race you are, what country you are from, what matters is that we need to share, we need to create space and silence to achieve things over which we have no control,” Moreira says.
"During the preparation of this album, I concluded that in order for the story I was intending to tell to feel complete, it would be necessary that some significant adjustments to my usual compositional methods would have to be made. I reluctantly decided to modify, edit, and even remove various constants that have previously identified my work. I also reduced the duration of several of the lengthiest pieces as well.
Much of this music originally employed excessive and complicated detailng that I eventually concluded to be unnecessary and dispensable. Composers frequently have a very difficult time determining which content should be eliminated, primarily due to their close attachment to it. In this case, critical decisions had to be made because, without them, I would have had a double album’s worth of material on my hands. In any case, by default, this was how the title, “Minimalism” came to mind. That said, it is my most sincere wish that the development and subsequent sharing of this music will, to a significant degree, encourage the implementation of alternative musical fundamentals by improvising music artists as well as broaden the framework of reference of all listeners and supporters of this art form.
It was a joy to create this music and I am proud to share it".
