I am an ethnomusicologist based in Lisbon and Madeira island, Portugal. I am a researcher at Instituto de Etnomusicologia: Centro de Estudos em Música e Dança (INET-md) at the Universidade NOVA de Lisboa, having finished my PhD in Musicology (specialisation in Ethnomusicology) in May 2019. I also collaborate with the Musicology Department of NOVA FCSH as a Visiting Assistant Professor. My academic production focuses on the following themes: Nation-building and nationalism in postcolonial Africa; Expressive behaviour, gender and sexuality; Popular music and the study of music industries; Music, propaganda and conflict; Digital humanities and research infrastructures; and History of Ethnomusicology. I have published two books, including A Construção Sonora de Moçambique (1974-1994), book chapters and journal articles. In April 2023, I started a new CEEC individual research project - 'Battle of Frequencies' - aiming to explore the place of music, radio broadcasting and political propaganda during the liberation war in Mozambique (1964-1974).
