Brazilian rapper Gabriel O Pensador will be one of the main attractions of the 7th edition of the Social Surf Weekend (SSW), which Angola hosts between the 24th and 27th of October this year, the biggest gathering of Angolan surfers.
A note from the organization informs that the SSW will be dedicated to nature, ecological preservation and sharing experiences at surfers’ beach, in Cabo Ledo, in the province of Luanda.
The Brazilian artist, who is also a surfer, will delight the audience on the night with some interpretations of his musical repertoire.
The event is organized by Social Team, a multidisciplinary group founded in 2012, focusing on competition and development of socio-sporting activities. It takes place annually, being the first time that it has had the participation of an international figure.
In 2018, the attraction of the SSW was the Portuguese DJ duo John Mayze and Miguel Faria, who return to Angola this year for the event which features the participation of more than 40 national and foreign surfers, more than half for the professional competition.
This year there is also the participation of surfers from the coastal provinces of Angola – Namibe, Huíla, Benguela and Huambo.
The last edition, Social Surf Weekend, had more than 400 participants.
