Semba is a popular Angolan music style that is played in all social events in Angola. This type of music gave rise to various other styles like Brazilian samba, the kizomba and kuduro, however the beat of Semba is fast, well noticeable and terri c. Inspired in the exclusivity of these rhythms, Marco Sousa created ‘Semba’, a piece with a dual functionality: side table or a bench. ‘Semba’ is, hence, a cultural expression of Angola, re ecting the unmistakable African roots.
