About the Artists:

Mestre Petchu and Vanessa are one of the greatest world authorities in the field of Angolan culture of music and dance. Living in Portugal for many years now, Petchu was the first to teach kizomba and semba there. He is known to have spread kizomba, the dance, throughout Europe. Petchu is the founder of the African ballet group, Kilandukilu and has been leading this group for 25 years of his 30 year career. Vanessa, also a member of Kilandukilu, is internationally for her Ginga, and is one of the best female Kizomba and Semba dancers in the world.
