You will have the chance to explore a fascinating blend of Angola culture on your OverlandingAfrica.com tour.
Angolan culture has a strong Portuguese-African blend, and while decades of war have laid their toll on traditions and culture, there is still a distinct sense of tradition and tribal influences to be found throughout the country.
One of the country’s traditional pastimes is the use of wood carvings and pottery, which is more than just art, but has its roots in homage to ancestors – especially with the intricate wooden masks, which differ for each tribe, representing each tribe’s history and influence.
Music and dance is also a strong cultural activity, with traditional African music mostly in the Umbundu and Kimbundu languages which are the most spoken languages after Portuguese. Dance has an influence in Brazilian and Portuguese from the early slave trade days.
Literature is a growing cultural significance in Angola, with post-war poetry based largely on social and political influences being the most common form of writing. With a freedom from censorship artist are able to use writing as an outlet.
