A crítica social em Jeremias Nguenha

Abstract

Music, as a form of artistic and cultural expression, has the power to reflect the social and political realities of a society. Jeremias Nguenha, a Mozambican musician, used his art to criticize the social injustices that permeated daily life. In his lyrics, Nguenha addresses pressing issues such as poverty, hunger, and government corruption, echoing the concerns of many authors who have explored the intersection between art and social criticism. Nguenha's songs not only capture the essence of the difficulties faced by his community, but also serve as a call to action. By exploring the themes of inequality and exploitation, Nguenha becomes a spokesperson for those who often have no voice, creating a dialogue between his work and the social realities he portrays. In this context, the present essay, whose theme is: “Social Criticism in Jeremias Nguenha”, aims to analyze how social intervention criticism is made in the songs of Jeremias Nguenha, namely: “La Famba Bicha”, “Vada Voche” and “Hayekani Massangu”(TRADUÇÃO NOSSA)
