"It’s the most extraordinary of singers who can summon up a world in a single note. Billie Holiday’s smoky voice could do it, instantly evoking the demimonde of small clubs and speakeasies where 1930s jazz thrived. And Humberto Carlos Benfica – Wazimbo – does the same for the poignantly contradictory panorama of beauty and tragedy, poverty and potential that is his native Mozambique. To hear the first soaring notes of his signature ballad and most famous song ‘Nwahulwana’ is to be transported, to understand saudade or longing, and understand why they call him the Golden Voice of Mozambique.
