Beauty and Culture Surround Gorongosa National Park
Voices of Gorongosa is a tribute to the powerful and diverse vocal traditions of central Mozambique—a region where music carries memory, identity and resilience.
During a recent visit, Chloe Santa Maria, a laryngologist (voice and airway surgeon) at the University of Pittsburgh, had the privilege of spending time with the communities surrounding Gorongosa National Park, gaining a firsthand glimpse into their extraordinary culture and enduring spirit. Take a journey with us to learn more about these wonderful communities and our experiences with them.
