CULTURE
An ancient oral tradition, 400 years of Portuguese control, an even longer trading relationship with the Arab, Indian and Malay world and interaction with surrounding formerly British and German-controlled countries make for a cultural expression that borrows unashamedly from Europe and southern Asia, but has emerged in recent years as embodying a very distinctive ´Moçambicanidade´
(Mozambiquenicity).

A few years ago the name Mozambique conjured up in the minds of many tourists and travelers a place where landmines lurked, banditry burgeoned, hunger held sway and road travel was slow and dangerous. With an economic growth rate of over eight percent over the past ten years, one of the most successful mine- clearing and gun-gathering operations ever implemented, and new tourist lodges opening almost every week, Mozambique has become one of the brightest and most enticing prospects on a continent still sadly best known for its poverty and unrest.
