Sobre este Tip
The Centro Cultural Franco-Moçambicano on Avenida Samora Machel is a regular stage for Mozambican artists, from traditional songs reworked with contemporary sounds to showcases of the new generation. Look at its programme and ticket page a few days ahead, as bigger concerts sell through an online ticket platform and at the centre's own desk. Evening shows are the norm, so plan your ride home in advance.
