Biography

Jorge Domingos was born in Maputo (Mozambique). He is part of the generation of musicians who emigrated to South Africa during the civil war in Mozambique in the 1980s. Jorge started his artistic career on bass guitar then moved to guitar and in 1995 joined with Gito Baloi’s solo project, playing on international tours and on Gito’s album, Nakurandza, as solo guitarist under the artistic name, “George Sunday“. After the death of Gito Baloi in 2004, Jorge moved back to Mozambique, and with the help of Chico Antonio and Jorge Gove integrated into the music scene. In 2007 Jorge played with Chico’s band at the Francophonie Festival in France; in 2008 Jorge recorded his first dvd, Marrabenta Rio; and in 2010 he was invited to join choreographer and dancer Panaibra Gabriel Canda as instrumentalist and performer on Time and Spaces. As a musician Jorge is influenced by rock and marrabenta, a passion his father Joao Domingos encouraged as a marrabenta singer in the 1980s. From these influences Jorge created a marrabenta-rock style that he continues to develop and explore.
