‘Ngoma Nwana’ with the extraordinary Selma Uamusse, a pulsating track sung in Changana that reveals itself to be one of his most essential collaborations to date. This is the latest single from highly anticipated forthcoming new album Requiem for Empathy, further demonstrating why this album will be one of Moullinex’ most defining. 

Selma Uamusse is a Mozambican singer living in Portugal since 1988. Singing professionally since she was eighteen, with a path from gospel, to rock, soul, afrobeat and jazz, Selma decided to challenge herself and record her first original solo project between Portugal and Mozambique. Exploring her Mozambican roots, bringing the unknown rhythms and lyrics in native tongues, together with traditional instruments like timbila and mbira, mixed with some psychedelia, electronics and all her other musical influences, Selma’s music has the potential to hypnotize, in equal parts ancestral to groundbreaking music. Here Selma celebrates her long running working relationship and friendship with Moullinex, as they join forces on a track which they have already played live to a rapturous reception, on the few live shows they were able to do together last year. 

‘Ngoma Nwana’ precedes the eagerly anticipated ‘Requiem for Empathy’, Moullinex’ fourth studio album which in addition to Selma Uamusse, includes collaborations with Sara Tavares, and Afonso Cabral, artists who have been redefining the Lisbon music scene by connecting the multiple cultural expressions to which the Portuguese capital is a natural meeting point. Pivotal in the new record are also the collaborations with singer GPU Panic, materializing in four beautiful new songs that, much like the rest of the album including ‘Ngoma Nwana’, are rooted on the dancefloor but capable of taking the listener into a journey of introspective contemplation.
