Hello Positivos,

2011 POSITIVO campaign started very strong with the release of new best PASSADA in Mozambique, the beautiful song ‘Cumbana vila livre’ written and sung by the students from Cumbana Secundary School at the beginning of march. It talks about undesired pregnancy, HIV prevention, transmission and discrimination. You can hear the music and see the video by clicking the following link :

Mabote – Vamos embora

And finally…. Mabote.

Mabote is a an isolated rural district in Inhambane province, 120 km from the nearest tarred road, and has been a target community for Positivo for some time. Thanks to the support of Bottletop, an innovative and dynamic charity from Britain, Positivo were able to decide where to work. Thanks to this the team went where other activists rarely reach.

The expanded team included a two man film crew, newly trained activists, a photographer and the regular workshop team. We camped under cashew trees for six days in the secondary school and ran an intensive programme. Thanks to all the teachers, students and people of Mabote for contributing to making this great song, with powerful messages about HIV. We hope you enjoy. Stay Positivo!!!

Music from Chimoio 1

1274|1061312|1061268|106

Oi, pessoal; during our 2 weeks stay with AFRICARE in Chimoio we produced some pretty tunes, that you can download….

  • Queremos viver“, which was recorded in the Escola Secundaria 7 de Abril, a wicked kwassa kwassa style with powerful message. The children sing about their future and the obstacles to achieve their dreams. Sex abuse, violation and infection with HIV were some of the reasons, given by the participants.
  • Respeite teu corpo” was recorded in the Escola Primaria Panga Panga in Gondola, 15 km from Chimoio. It was our first attempt to work with Primary School children discussing HIV messages. The participants explain the ways in which you can become infected with HIV and the ways that you cannot get infected; as we know there is a lot of misinformation: many Mozambicans think that just touching an HIV infected person would infect them as well, or using the same towel or clothes. Also mosquitos are considered as potential HIV carriers of HIV infection. This song attempts to dispell the misinformation.

enjoy
