About the event
🌺 Kobya Panguana @ Bar Oussou! 🌺
KOBYA " formally Carlos X Panguana” grew up in the African township in Maputo, the capital city of Mozambique, a country gripped by war for many years. He became the youngest member of Xingombela youth dance troupe at age of 7, Thanks to his elder brother’s wedding anniversary where his talent was discovered. He took the entertainmentbusiness seriously.
After playing professional soccer as a teenager, he packed his bags and headed to Gauteng, also known as Johannesburg or city of gold, in South Africa, to join his other family members. As he had damaged hisknees playing soccer, he joined the fashion world and studied photography.
The struggle for the right to be recognized as a human being intensified as the South African government imposed a state of emergency. KOBYA had no other choice but to join the struggle as freelance photojournalist and reporter.
