Angola has notched up 12 years of post war reconstruction. Ever wonder what Luanda and Angola were like pre-war?  Back by popular demand, the Angola Field Group invites you to the film A Trip Down Memory Lane with introduction and commentary by Denis Sanche and Kelse Alexandre, members of the Angola Field Group team, on Thursday, September 26 at 8:00 PM at the Viking Club. The film is a nostalgic look back at Angola during colonial times: Bull fights in Luanda… Cotton mills and coffee roasteries…Herds of elephant and buffalo in Quicama Park… Narration is in Portuguese with a sound track featuring a well known Angolan singer of the ‘70s, Raúl Endipwo.
