Jeremias Nguenha (19 March 1972, Inhambane - 3 May 2007, Maputo) was a Mozambican musician. He sang in Shangaan. == Early life, Career and death == Jeremias Nguenha was born in Inhambane, March 19, 1972. He started to sing in the church 'Assembleia de Deus' and by that time he pretended to be a pastor. He started to sing in order to spread the message of social injustice and educative messages to the people. In 1994/1995 his songs appear like magic from scratch in the radios, being the most famous 'Vadhla Vôche'. In his words he pretended to: 'denounce the selfishness, hypocrisy and corruption that tainted the society'. His style also used to shock the Mozambican public that got connected with his message quickly. He used to present himself with military clothes and a military type haircut, carrying the bible many times with him on stage. He soon releases one of the biggest hits "La Famba bicha" (the line goes on). Ngenha gets the opportunity to make some international digressions to South Africa, where he performs to the mozambican community. And in 2002 he is invited to Brazil, where he performs in the most famous celebration Rio Carnival. Due to financial constrains he goes alone, leaving his band in Mozambique. In 2001, he was awarded with the Mozambican National prize - Ngoma Mozambique - for the most famous song. In the same year, the current president of that time - Joaquim Chissano - invites him to the official residence - Palácio da Ponta Vermelha. According to the press the only thing he asks to the president is for the bible. Even though he succeeded as a singer, he was also a football player, he played in Swaziland and South Africa. However a knee injury dictated the end of his career. Artistically he also performed as an actor. On May 3, 2007, at the age of 35, the notice of his death due to illness shocked the entire Mozambique and the music association. The music association soon demands that Mozambican artists should have better conditions to the artists since many of them died of illness, not having financial conditions to afford better health treatments for their condition. In the previous years, the music association was dealing with consecutive losses of the artists due to illness. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jeremias Nguenha」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
