SONCA international proudly presents "Sounds in Paradise" - a unique PR project to promote Mozambique's tourist industry - Africa's raising star in tourism.

Stella Mendonça & Sonia Mocumbi - the two only native classic stars of Mozambique agreed to participate in this special PR project - promoting the image of Mozambique - while being in the country for a series of exclusive concerts.

The two opera singers together with 53 members of the French Symphonic Orchestra of Pontarlier are presenting Mozambique's symphony in its diversity in tourism by performing classical music in a UNIQUE and unseen set of breathtaking nature.

The shooting took place in the National Park LIMPOPO, April 14, 2008 under all most perfect weather and light condition - allowing us to shoot video impressions with the orchestra during four hours, including a fabulous sun-set.

The major challenge faced in this project was transportation and logistics - six hours of traveling to Massingir and a further two hours within the park to reach the perfect film location with a crew of over 60 people including transport of technical equipment and the music instruments!
