Abstract

Rádio Clube de Moçambique was a private broadcasting company based in Lourenço Marques (now Maputo) that expanded thoroughly after World War II, becoming one of the most important commercial broadcasting companies in Africa. Building on the analysis of magazines, financial reports, audio sources and interviews, this article intends to explore the history of the RCM from its establishment in 1932, until the coup of State in April 1974. Following on concepts “radio-colonization” and “sonorous capitalism”, this article will explore the instrumentalization of radio broadcasting systems for political and propaganda purposes, taking into account the economic, material and cultural dimensions of this institution, including the analysis of its programs.
