The information was provided by the Minister of Culture, Tourism and Environment, Jomo Fortunado. In an interview with TPA, the official said that the groups will parade, albeit in small numbers, respecting social distance and preventive measures against covid-19.
"Dance, court and percussion will not be exempt from the new model," he added.
The number of jurors will also be reduced. "Both carnival groups and jurors will be reduced. We do not want to be without Carnival, but we also do not want to jeopardize the lives of Angolans," said the minister of Culture.
The public, on the other hand, will have to stay at home but will be able to watch the famous parade through the Internet. Promised is the transmission of the festivities on various platforms, including television, so that the revelry can reach the largest number of Angolans possible.
It is recalled that Carnival is a popular festival, with tradition in Angola, which takes place annually. The Luanda Carnival, the most famous in the country, includes several groups, parades and categories. The current holder of the winner's title is the União Mundo da Ilha group, from the urban district of Ingombota. This is also the group with the most winner titles in the festivity, with 12.
