In the first edition of the Emerging Bands Competition, promoted by the Marimba project in the store with PROCULTURA, we have selected six artistic projects that promise to mark the musical cenário of PALOP and Timor-Leste. Intended for young people between 16 and 30 years of age, originating from Angola, Moçambique, Guiné-Bissau and Timor-Leste, the competition seeks 40 applications, subject to an analysis of an international jury made up of artists and agents of the sector.
The young musicians were educated on the basis of their innovative capacity to merge their cultural roots and transform them into new forms of musical expression, demonstrating a unique and authentic vision of the current artistic panorama.
De Angola, destacaram-se Sara Saka and Cleyton M; from Guiné-Bissau Jery Biden Quartet; de Moçambique a Banda M'Laio and os The Hood Brodz; and de Timor-Leste os The Kraken.
The selected artists and bands will now have the opportunity to become adults for the Marimba Booking / Soundsgood at the national and international level in 2026. This collaboration represents an important impulse for the promotion of PALOP and Timor-Leste creators, opening doors to new audiences and markets.
The current bands will also have the chance to participate in the Marimba Gathering 2024, an event that brings together some of the most influential personalities of the Marimba project. At this event, the results achieved by the actions involved along the program will be presented and celebrated.
For recognition and international projection, each of the selected bands will be honored with a local monetary prize. This direct finance tool will meet the investment needs of young talents, providing solid foundations for the first steps in a new and promising phase of their musical careers.
This competition, which seeks to create a scenario of emerging African music, demonstrates the diversity and diversity of the talent of our PALOP and Timor-Leste, highlighting the importance of initiatives that we promote and the drive towards artistic expression in our communities.
