Marco Roque de Freitasa researcher affiliated with INET-md, has published the book A Construção Sonora de Moçambique 1974-1994, which is available for the first time in Portugal.
 
The first edition of this book was published in Maputo, Mozambique, in December 2020 due to the author's ethical commitment to the protagonists featured in it. The present edition has been revised and improved, incorporating corrections and clarifications from public presentations at various scientific events and recently published peer-reviewed articles and book chapters. Multiple subjects are explored, such as musical categorization, phonographic and radio production systems, predominant musical repertoires and groups, the social status of musicians, the role of women artists in Mozambican society, the contingencies arising from musical production in a wartime context, Mozambique's first experiences within the World Music market, as well as the relationship between different sonorous representations and political-social contexts.
