“In the course of his career, Macamo embraced other tasks, such as head of shows at FACIM, head of RIFA and the Editorial Department of Rádio Moçambique, and a promoter of musical contests such s Ngoma Mozambique and Top Feminino, becoming in effect a leading figure in the national entertainment industry.

“In addition to being a colleague, Macamo constitutes for us an essential reference in the panorama of Mozambican cultural management, as he knew how to bring leadership and business acumen to the sector in favour of culture and the affirmation of Mozambicanity.

“The death of this distinguished artist means the loss of one of the great cultural managers, leaving an irreparable void in the country’s cultural heritage. In this moment of pain, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, on behalf of all art makers, addresses the most heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family,” the Ministry of Culture’s a message of condolences on the death of Domingos Macamo concludes.
