About Angola Business Opportunities Tourism Visa Application ... About India Art and Culture of Angola As with most African art, the wooden masks and sculptures of Angola are not merely aesthetic creations. They play an important role in cultural rituals, representing life and death, the passage from childhood to adulthood, the celebration of a new harvest and the marking of the hunting season. Angolan artisans work in wood, bronze, ivory, malachite or ceramic mediums. Each ethno-linguistic group in Angola has its own unique artistic traits. Perhaps the single most famous piece of Angolan art is the Cokwe thinker, a masterpiece of harmony and symmetry of line. The Lunda-Cokwe in the north eastern part of Angola are also known for their superior plastic arts. Other signature pieces of Angolan art include: The female mask Mwnaa-Pwo worn by male dancers in their puberty rituals. polychromatic Kalelwa masks used during circumcision ceremonies Cikungu and Cihongo masks which conjure up the images of the Lunda-Cokwe mythology. Two key figures in this pantheon are princess Lweji and the civilizing prince Tschibinda-Ilunga. the black ceramic art of Moxico of central/eastern Angola Prior to the late 1980s, all marketing of handicrafts were under the control of Artiang, an arm of the Ministry of Culture. However once this commercial monopoly over the production of art was removed, art in Angola blossomed. As the wooden masks and statues of Africa have grown in popularity in the West, the handicraft industry in Angola has sought to meet the demand for African art. The stylized masks and trinkets that are created to catch a tourist's eye are commonly known as "airport art." They are pieces produced in series, to the taste of the average tourist, but lack any real link to the deeper cultural undercurrents of the people.

These ethno-linguistic groups have their roots in major pre-colonial African kingdoms, and they had an important role to play in resistance against colonialism and the subsequent conflicts. Many cultural connections remain today between Angola and the other Portuguese-colonized countries, and with Brazil in particular. Angolan television shows several popular Brazilian telenovelas, or soap operas, while Angolan music has a strong Latin influence. Angola also boasts its own Carnival, on Mardi Gras, complete with costume parades and cross-dressing.

A 1994 peace accord between the government and the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA) provided for the integration of former UNITA insurgents into the government and armed forces. A national unity government was installed in April of 1997, but serious fighting resumed in late 1998, rendering hundreds of thousands of people homeless. Up to 1.5 million lives may have been lost in fighting over the past quarter century. The death of Jonas SAVIMBI and a cease fire with UNITA may bode well for the country. .

Participating Advertiser Contact Information Arts and Culture: Art Movement In visual arts and dance, the creativity of Angolans has not been inhibited by war It is said that many millions of years ago, before the world's land mass split apart to form the five continents, Angola and Brazil were fused together. In terms of arts and culture, these two countries still seem to be as one. Some people believe that Angola's traditional semba music lies at the heart of Brazilian samba. Although the two types of music sound quite different, they share similar names and dance forms. As most of Brazil's slaves came from Angola, it is not surprising that some aspects of culture in the two countries are so similar. Angolan semba is an ancient rhythm, traditionally accompanied by smooth undulations of the hips and belly. Semba was originally danced to celebrate good harvests, marriages, births and other occasions. It developed in Angola's coastal centers, especially Luanda and Benguela during the 17th century. To this day, semba is regarded as the music of the sea. Before Portuguese missionaries spread Christianity throughout the country, Angolans used to dance semba as a way of worshipping their gods, especially the mermaid Kianda, goddess of the sea. Every year, Angolans would hold celebrations near the sea, throwing food, clothes and other gifts into the water as offerings to Kianda.

Justification: Angola is known as one of the most heavily mined countries in the world. Preliminary UN estimates, which reveal that 10 to 15 million landmines contaminate Angolan soil, are still widely cited. Angola has one of the highest rates of landmine injuries per capita in the world. Out of a population of about nine million, it has tens of thousands of amputees, the great majority of whom were injured by landmines. The government claims that there are 90,000 amputees in the country. Angola remains a desperately poor nation in which few facilities are available for the physically disabled. Most amputees are reluctant to leave the relative comfort of rehabilitation centers. Their future will consist of being cared for by their families, or attempting to earn a living in one of the few occupations open to them, such as street trading or – for those educated individuals – secretarial work. The majority, who come from farming backgrounds, are likely to remain a burden on their families for the foreseeable future. Many have been reduced to begging. Amputee beggars are already a common sight in Angolan towns. Angola will have to live with the human cost of landmine wars for many years to come. (Source: Landmine Monitor Report 2000)
