Selma Uamusse

Selma Uamusse is a Mozambican singer living in Portugal since 1988. Singing professionally since she was 18 years old, her path as a performer lead her through gospel, rock, soul, afrobeat and jazz, until she decided to do her own music, between Portugal and Mozambique. In it, she explores her homeland roots - using unknown rhythms and lyrics in native tongues with traditional instruments like timbila and mbira - and blends it with psychedelia, electronics as well as other references that mirror her diverse influences and background. Her first album, due to be released in 2016, heralds a rich and heady fusion.
