Karingana ua Karingana

Karingana ua Karingana is the second work by the Mozambican writer José Craveirinha, written in 1963 and published in 1974.

The work intended to poetically convey the daily lives of Mozambicans, at a time marked by the struggle against colonialism.

Karingana ua karingana is the expression used by the ronga when they begin to tell a traditional story. It corresponds to the expression "once upon a time".
