The Ngendelengo of Angola, the forest tribe
The Ngendelengo inhabit the Serra da Chela mountains in southwestern Angola. They are semi-nomadic subsistence herders, hunters and farmers. Living in a forested environment has allowed them to develop a rudimentary charcoal business. Machetes are an essential part of their attire, as well as large crests for unmarried boys and multiple topknots for women. The rest of their traditional culture includes two-storey barns and bull worship rituals.

Kingdom of smoke and cows:
Mundari Cattle Camps
The famous Mundari cattle camps are desolate places. They usually settle in areas close to the banks of the Nile River in South Sudan. The smoke from hundreds of bonfires covers the immensity of a vast arid, dry and hot land. Amidst that smoke, naked men, cows with giant horns and the iconographic Mundari totem, which inspired the Last Places logo, can be seen.

I have learned a lot from them, I like to show their customs, recount their joys and sorrows. In all cases they are similar, only in different environments or realities. In that search, I have also experienced injustice or the pain of impotence, but in all circumstances, I have tried to find beauty.
