New Channel Alert: MultiChoice To Add Trace Brasil To The DStv Platform In Angola And Mozambique

Launched In 2019, TRACE Brasil is the one and only channel dedicated to Brazilian urban music serving 200 million Portuguese speakers in the world. Also known as Trace Brazuca apparently, it covers covers all genres of urban music including Funk, Rap, Samba, Pagode.

Weird enough, MultiChoice seems to have acquired rights to the channel for its consumers in Angola and Mozambique under the name, Trace Brasil. So we assume that either Trace Brazuca will be undergoing a rebrand or a localised version of the channel will be rolling out.

Some content confirmed for the soon-to-be-launched music channel include from what appears to be a localised version of FOCUS alongside other content like De Volta, Gospel Vibes and Tecendo A Liberdade.

The channel might arrive later in the month if not early 2024 on channel 592 which will accompany existing brands like Trace Toca, Trace Jama, Trace Urban, Trace Musika, Trace Naija and Trace Gospel therefore boosting MultiChoice number of trace channels to 6.

In other developments, MultiChoice and Disney extended the reach of ESPN 1 to DStv Family and Access consumers in Southern Africa alongside GOtv Lite consumers in ROA. Weird enough, a few markets had opted to make this an open window which ends 31 December 2023.
