IMG_2368

Hello Positivos, this crazy month of May finally ended in a beautiful way, with the successful Pembane Show for the comunity in Bairro Josina Machel, where  3.000 people came to see the Positivo band and the powerful local Marrabenta bands like SKEM KEM, that won a recording in the Bom Dia Studio (to happen in July). On the soccer fields you could also buy BBQ food and drinks, and watch the movies from Bitonga Diver Carlos on his big screen in front of the stage, listening to his comments in local dialect on how to care about the sea and our environment. The concerts lasted until 4 in the morning.

On saturday, after Pembane Show, Positivo Band gave its best in Verdinho in Inhambane, for a great show before some of its members travel to Europe in june.

The week was also succesful with the recording of a cartoon soundtrack for the movie “The Change” of the Argentine Director Fabian Ribezzo  living in Maputo. As well as the active participation of Positivo in the organisation of national cultural days in Cine-Teatro Tofo, and finally an active participation on children’s day, 1st of june 2010.

Now comes a week to rest, gather forces and images before we go on with the rest of the program.
