On Maputo, Yilian Cañizares pays homage to the vibrant spirit of Mozambique, the homeland of her longtime collaborator, bassist Childo Tomas. Sung in Ronga, the song captures the energy, warmth, and joy of the African people, blending rhythmic vitality with Yilian’s signature intertwining of violin and voice. With infectious grooves and a celebratory mood, Maputo is both a musical journey and a heartfelt tribute to the strength, resilience, and soul of Mozambique. This track exemplifies Yilian’s global musical vision, where Afro-Cuban rhythms, jazz, and African influences converge in a harmonious celebration of life.
