Semba dancers from the Groupe Uniao 17 de Setembro rehearse in a courtyard in Kilamba Kiaxi in Luanda, on February 28, 2025 ahead of the 2025 Carnival who will take place in the Angolan capital between March 1, 2025 and March 3, 2025. Semba is a traditional type of music and dance from Angola. Semba has its roots in Massemba and means “a touch of belly buttons” – one of the most recognisable and entertaining movements in semba. The 2025 carnival will be held from March 1-3, with the theme “Carnival of 50 Years of Independence”. The carnival is a celebration of Angolan culture and is one of the country's largest cultural festivals. (Photo by Marco Longari/AFP Photo)
