Bitonga Divers organise their second annual music festival in Inhambane
By Tim Dykman
Final preparations are underway for Bitonga Divers’
second annual music festival to take place
on 1 December 2012 at the Barbalaza football
field in Inhambane.
This year the festival welcomes special guests Likute
featuring lead singer Chude Mondlane, daughter of
Mozambican revolutionary hero Eduardo Mondlane.
Bitonga Divers and Ocean Revolution have been
credited with creating a “Blue Revolution” in Mozambique
by breaking open employment in the lucrative
dive tourism industry to Mozambicans, supporting
Mozambican graduate students in Marine
Sciences at Eduardo Mondlane University and building
a conservation movement in local communities.
Bitonga Divers has served notice that the beautiful

“DUVEL” by Moortgat Brewery Belgium
B
ack in 1871, the first generation of the Moortgat family
was already producing beer with their exacting craftsmanship,
unfailing patience and above all, lots of love.
Duvel is a 100% pure and natural beer, with no additives or
preservatives, and you can taste the difference immediately.
Its surprisingly high alcohol content (8.5%), huge, creamy
head, delicate effervescence and silky smooth aroma is what
distinguishes Duvel from other Belgian beers.
With its subtly bitter bite and delicate aroma, Duvel holds a
unique position within the rich Belgian beer tradition. After
bottling, the beer continues to ferment for a fortnight in the
warm cellars of the brewery. Finally, the beer is chilled for 6
weeks in the cold cellars. This extra-long maturing process
is unique and contributes to the exquisite flavour and pure
aroma of Duvel.
Belgian beers may cost a bit more that the average lager on
the local market, but their superior quality makes them well
worth the money.
Places to enjoy Belgian beers:
Centro Cultural Franco Mocambicano (Chimay and Leffe)
Katembe Gallery Hotel (Chimay, Duvel, Leffe and Hoegaarden)
Café Sol (all available)

creatures of our seas, the beaches of our coastline
and the food that comes from our oceans are part
of Mozambique’s natural wealth and heritage that
need to be protected. It is only fitting that this year,
legendary local bands like Dallas and SkemKhem who
bring messages of peace, equality and justice in their
songs are joined by the all-woman’s group Likute featuring
Chude Mondlane. Music can celebrate, unify,
inspire and heal, so come join us this year on 1 December
in Barbalaza.
All concert donations go to support the work of Bi-
