Day 3
WE LOVE ANGOLA | Kizomba Tourist Trip 2025
A Memorable Experience on Ilha de Luanda
We spent the day exploring Ilha de Luanda, where we had an incredible time at Wakimono Lodge—enjoying the beach, music, dancing, and an amazing connection with the locals.
We truly lived the experience like real residents! We savored the famous “MUFETE”, a traditional dish of the island, served right by the sea, while soaking in the unique atmosphere of the place.
These were unforgettable moments, filled with sharing and cultural discoveries, immersing ourselves in the habits and traditions of this warm and welcoming people. Angolan hospitality is truly special—it turns simple gatherings into extraordinary moments!
An Unforgettable Journey in Angola
After the beach, our adventure continued towards one of the most iconic gatherings of Angolan culture: “KIZOMBA NA RUA”. This incredible project promotes Kizomba dance and music internationally, bringing together passionate dancers and talented artists in a vibrant and authentic atmosphere.
The place was buzzing with energy, and as expected, big names were in attendance. Among them was the renowned KIZAKA group, led by Mestre Petchu, a true reference in the world of Kizomba and Semba. It was the perfect opportunity to capture this historic moment with a group photo—a sign of mutual respect between two major figures in the promotion of Kizomba and Semba in the diaspora.
On one side, Mestre Petchu, founder of Ballet Tradicional Kilandukilu, and on the other, Mr. Tecas, pioneer of the first Kizomba school in France—the European country with the most Kizomba events—and the mastermind behind the WE LOVE ANGOLA journey, which has been celebrating and sharing Angolan culture with the world for over seven years.
And of course, the night was filled with dance and joy!
But the experience didn’t stop there… What could possibly come next?
We recharged at the city’s most popular fast-food spot: LINOY! A unique place where the food is rich in flavor, and the atmosphere is simply electric.
And guess what? We danced again! Because in Angola, every moment is a celebration of life!
The day ended with that perfect kind of exhaustion—the feeling of having lived something truly special. Can’t wait for the next chapter of this adventure! 🥳
And now… what’s next on our adventure?
