Eyuphuro is a Mozambican band.[1] Eyuphuro's music is a combination of traditional African music and western popular music. Eyuphuro's music is sung mostly in Makua, a Bantu language. The name of the band means "whirlwind" in Macua.[2]

History[edit]

Omar Issa, Gimo Remane and Zena Bacar founded Eyuphuro in 1981.[1] Eyuphuro released the successful album Mama Mosambiki before its initial breakup in 1990. In 1998, singer Zena Bacar reformed Eyuphuro and in 2001 they released a new album, Yellela. They made three albums over 25 years that were sold around the world, but the band members never saw these profits.[3]

Original members[edit]

Current members[edit]

The album Yellela also includes musicians who are not members of the band; singer Mariamo Mussa Hohberg, saxophonist Orlando da Conceicao and keyboardist Benedito Mazbuko.
