Among the Chopi, who have lived for centuries along the coast of Mozambique, there is a highly developed tradition of songwriting and composing for timbila (xylophone) orchestras. Elaborate migodo (dance suites), interspersed with poetic songs pertaining to village life, are often performed to these compositions. Timbila music is now recognized as the national music of Mozambique.
