Angola is a country located in southwestern Africa, washed by the Atlantic Ocean. The capital, Luanda, a city with a population of over 8 million people, is not only the economic but also the cultural center of the country. The total population of Angola is about 34 million people. The official language is Portuguese, which was brought to the country by colonizers. However, many local languages are also spoken, such as Umbundu and Kikongo.

Angola's climate ranges from tropical in the north to subtropical in the south. The country's economy is based on the extraction of oil and diamonds, which are the main sources of income, but agriculture and fishing also play an important role.

Angola's history is full of dramatic events, from Portuguese colonial rule to a long civil war that ended in 2002. Despite the challenges, Angola is rapidly recovering, and its natural resources, such as national parks and beaches, attract more and more tourists. The country's cultural heritage is vividly expressed in traditional music, especially in the semba genre, which has inspired many African musical directions.
