Angelina Abel on Uniting Heritage and Empowerment through Dance

Join host ‪@TchiyiweTChihana‬ of African Voices Platform as she sits down with Angelina Abel, the Angolan-born, Portugal-raised choreographer and artistic director behind Sheffield’s seminal African movement company, Mulembas d’Africa. From her first immersion into a family “roda” in Luanda to founding a grassroots collective in 2009, Angelina shares how Bantu spiritual traditions (Kizomba, Semba, Kuduru) inform her radical approach to ritual, community-building, and women’s empowerment. Together, they explore cultural contrasts—from Portuguese dessert tables to Sheffield’s multicultural arts scene and examine how those contrasts have shaped her creative vision.
