OUR STORY
2017
THE BEGINNING
The first MMM introduced a new kind of music gathering to Maputo, bringing together live showcases, professional development and international networking.
It established the foundations for a platform dedicated to connecting Mozambique’s music sector with the wider world.
2019
GROWING THE NETWORK
The second edition expanded the platform and strengthened its international connections, confirming the importance of a regular meeting point for artists and music professionals in Mozambique.
2026
THE RETURN
After an extended interruption, MMM returned to Maputo in March 2026. Five days of music, meetings and exchange brought artists, international delegates, partners and audiences together again.
The return demonstrated that the original idea behind MMM was not only still relevant — it was more necessary than ever.
MMM 2026 NUMBERS
One meeting point. Countless connections.
FROM MAPUTO
TO THE WORLD
The real impact begins after MMM. Connections created at MMM 2026 have already translated into international opportunities for participating artists.
Different artists. Different journeys. One common starting point: a connection made through MMM.
A showcase can become a conversation.
A conversation can become a connection.
A connection can become a stage somewhere else in the world.

THE NEXT CHAPTER
Building a permanent bridge between Mozambique, Africa and the world.
MMM is entering a new phase. Our ambition is to establish MMM as a sustainable annual platform and an essential meeting point for anyone interested in discovering music from Mozambique and the African continent.
The next chapter will focus on expanding artist mobility, strengthening professional development, deepening African and global networks, and increasing the participation and visibility of women in music.
Because meaningful international networks are not built during a single event. They are built over time.
WHY MMM MATTERS
Africa is home to some of the world's most extraordinary musical cultures and creative talent. Yet many artists remain disconnected from the professional networks that can take their music beyond their local markets.
MMM wants to help close that distance. Not by changing the music. But by creating the connections, knowledge, visibility and opportunities around it.
A MEETING POINT FOR MUSIC
MMM is about bringing the world to Mozambique. But it is equally about taking Mozambique to the world. It is about artists discovering new possibilities. Professionals discovering new music. And people from different places meeting through a shared language.
MUSIC.
From Maputo to Africa
From Africa to the world
And from the world back to Maputo
MMM — MOZAMBIQUE MUSIC MEETING
Meet. Listen. Connect. Discover.
