VAGO

Young rapper from the Genoese scene, with South American roots.

From a very young age, at just 13 years old, his passion for rap pushed him to experiment with freestyle and start writing his first lyrics.

His artistic journey began with his debut single Vetta, followed by short mixtapes. However, his real breakthrough came in 2019, when his track Io e Lei ft. Cifra149, posted on YouTube in April 2016, went viral on the social platform TikTok.

He participated as one of the selected talents in La Nuova Scena on Netflix (Rhythm & Flow Italia) and has been featured in episodes dedicated to Genoa’s new generation of rappers, representing the city among emerging talents.

On October 15, 2021, he released his debut album, Immagini, under Visory Records label. Today, Vago is back working independently, supported by a dedicated team comprising producers, managers, social media managers, photographers, a creative director, and videomakers.

His new chapter started with the single Impossibile in 2022, which clearly shows his artistic growth and greater maturity compared to previous works. There’s a noticeable evolution in his lyric writing, both in style and content, reflecting a deeper self-awareness and confidence in his lyrical abilities.

In his music, Vago strives to find balance amid the internal conflict of Love and Hatred that rages within his mind and soul, attempting to translate this inner struggle into words. His gritty voice emphasizes his need to be heard, to release a flood of emotions that he otherwise wouldn’t know how to express.

His lyrics often explore his personal love stories, as well as his life background — sometimes raw and challenging, but equally filled with love and affection. Influenced mainly by rap, especially in the crafting of his lyrics, Vago also touches on shades of urban pop and R&B, incorporating more melodic vocal lines inspired by a broad range of musical genres.

Being is essential — this is his mantra. That’s why he’s always aiming to achieve his goals. But his ultimate purpose, the reason he makes music, is to truly discover himself.

OSVALDA NHACUNE

Heritage, Creativity, Fusion & Femininity from Moz

 

Artist and composer, was born in the City of Maputo and spent her adolescence in the City of Maxixe, in Inhambane. She currently resides in the Province of Maputo.

She began composing during her adolescence, inspired by her own pains and experiences. At that time, although she appreciated music in Bantu languages, her first lyrics were written in Portuguese.

During her college years, in the Multidisciplinary Workshops course, she formed, along with her colleagues, a band where they performed old-guard music while creating individual works. It was during these exercises that the artist composed her first two songs in 2018, and from then on, she began to consider walking the path of music.

In 2024, her musical project “Hemba” was selected to benefit from the Creative Mobility Grant for Emerging Artists, funded by the Swiss Cooperation, in partnership with the Cultural Space 16Neto. This allowed her to record her first album entitled “Hemba,” which contains seven tracks in the Guitonga language, spoken in the Southern region of Mozambique, in the province of Inhambane.

The album already toured around Mozambique.

Osvalda is a breath of fresh air, a talent, a simplicity that amazes, and a desire to pass on her cultural heritage to the whole world, blending sounds and rhythms from her own culture with more global rhythms, such as reggae and soul…
