Wazimbo
Born in Chibuto in the Gaza Province of Mozambique, Wazimbo is regarded as one of the most popular marrabenta (a traditional Mozambican dance style genre) musicians.

His popular 1988 hit song “Nwahulwana” was featured in an advert by Microsoft and was also partly used as a soundtrack for the 2001 Sean Penn directed movie “The Pledge”.
