A music and cultural festival in Viana, on Luanda's eastern edge, exploring Afro-Caribbean connections through performance; its fifth edition was held on May 29, reflecting historical cultural ties between Angola and the Caribbean. Reaching at least a fifth edition suggests a genuine, sustained local following in Viana rather than a short-lived cultural experiment.

The Festival Afro Caribenho brings Afro-Caribbean music and culture to Viana, a large municipality on Luanda's eastern edge, with its most recently documented edition marking the event's fifth staging on May 29.
