The Kalunga Project was a project initiated by the Angolan government to reconnect with those of the diaspora within Brazil.[1] This tour was not only political but also a social commentary connecting Brazil and Angola through music as well as through pop-culture.[2] Brazilian performers were invited to tour Angola, performing as an act of solidarity to the communist party during the Angolan Civil War.[1] The tour took place in the cities Luanda, Lobito, and Benguela.[1] All of the more than 60 performers and artists supported the MPLA in their fight for independence; many singing about anti-colonial struggles through Semba.[3]
