“Luanda
Now”. Stories of men, women and children, eager to get
to the right place,
whatever the path taken. People looking
for the right path. People capable, among other things, to
create their own paths. Portraits of
a city that resists
stubbornly, despite the difficulties. The Luanda
that laughs, dances and celebrates life,
even while grieving.
The Luanda that loves, falls in love and surrenders,
despite the continued abandonment by the public authorities. The Luanda that knows
(or has a feeling) that sex is subversion and revolution, that invented and
kuduro and tarrachinha, after having
invented semba or kizomba. The Luanda that
is bringing a new soul to the Portuguese language.
