Neco novellas biography of abraham

Neco Novellas(Anselmo Johanhane) was born and raised in Maputo-Mozambique. He grew up in a musical family where his father would sing, play guitar and electric organ and his mother would sing in traditional ceremonies and in the choir of the local Catholic Church.

From an early age, Neco and his brothers and sisters got in touch with traditional music and dance through their parents and surroundings. Musical activities in and around church taught the children Western music.

Folk, jazz, pop and world music all found their way to the Novellas through the broadcasts of National Radio in Mozambique.

All these influences lead to a music family-style the Novellas describe as "universal music", with its rhythms, melodies and harmonies reaching back to jazz, classical, and world music, and merging into authentic and multi-styled compositions.

Add to this Neco’s deep ranged silky voice and you get a musical style that goes firmly beyond the definition of world music.
