description After the military coup in Portugal on April 25 1974, negotiations between FRELIMO and the Portuguese government progressed and culminated in the Lusaka Accord signed on September 7, 1974, which postulated the complete transfer of power to FRELIMO, without elections, and after a nine-month transitional government. Dissatisfied with this solution, some colonizers decided to break into the headquarters of Rádio Clube Moçambique in Lourenço Marques (now Maputo) and proclaim through the microphones another independence of the territory. This article analyses the broadcasts made by Rádio Moçambique Livre between September 7 and 10, 1974 with a historical and ethnomusicological approach. I aim to analyse the “sonorous construction” developed during this coup, with particular attention to the musical repertoire used to symbolize the notions of “revolution” and “independence”, in juxtaposition to the political values advocated by the protagonists of the assault.
