 | Marrabenta was the rough-edged, urban dance music of Mozambique which emerged in the 50´s. |
| It became strongly associated with the struggle for independence and was almost completely wiped out (along with Mozambique's music industry) by the bitter civil war, which raged throughout the country during the 80´s. |
| Accompanied by the controversial social vocals sung in "Ronga" and "Shangana", "Marrabenta" was played on self constructed guitars from fuel canisters and fishing wire, often struck so hard the strings snapped. |
