Just back from a night on the town...I just have to write this down before I forget it:
This is the scene:
Luanda--land of poverty and trash, but also great wealth and people who know how to have a good time.
A club outside on a dock on water that is, essentially, a cesspool. Visually, we could be anywhere...Miami...the French Rivera...Brasil...LOTS of people dancing of all different races and nationalities dressed in all different layers of garb (some not much at all).
BUT what makes this Luanda is two things: 1. MUSIC...from brasilian, to regaton, to elvis, to the beach boys, to buddy holly, to madonna, to you name it... 2. The surrounding scene...passing on a row-boat are about 6 street kids checking out the scene...watching the way the other half lives...
All very surreal. But Luandans definitely know how to have a good time in spite of, or perhaps because of, what's going on in the "real" world.
Boa noite!
