Based: Mozambique

Dino Miranda is a Mozambican-born singer, guitarist, composer, arranger and producer whose music bridges Mozambique and South Africa through a rich blend of marrabenta, Afro-pop and contemporary world music. His sound reflects both his Mozambican roots and the broader Southern African musical landscape that has shaped his career.

After performing with Mozambican artist Chico António in the late 1990s, Dino went on to study at the Fuba School of Music in Johannesburg before completing jazz studies at the University of Cape Town between 2001 and 2004. These influences helped form a style that combines strong songwriting, expressive guitar work and cross-cultural musical sensibility.

Since releasing his debut album Moya Wa Kaya in 2008, Dino Miranda has built a respected career as both a solo artist and collaborator. His discography includes Baby Eu Te Quero, Xiluva and Mocambique, while his work has earned recognition including 2009 Mozambique Music Awards wins for Best Jazz and Best New Artist. He has also performed at festivals and showcases in Southern Africa and internationally, including HIFA, MMM Showcase Festival, Festival da Marrabenta, Rocking the Green and Timmverik Festival.

With a live sound that moves between soulful acoustic material, danceable marrabenta rhythms and broader Afro-pop influences, Dino Miranda is well suited to festivals, cultural events, corporate functions and premium private events looking for a warm, musically refined Southern African act.
