Imbondeiro


Behold the imbondeiro, national tree of Angola. Mukua, the fruit, is visible on the younger tree. With the tree, its leaves and fruit, you can make juice, jam, soup and medicine, you can color things red, make rope and rough cloth. You can also use craters in older trees as barns or graveyards. Judging by the picture, parking your Toyota Hiace inside one is also a possibility. On an almost entirely unrelated topic, Mukua is the name of the club I am going to this coming Friday. It's famous for the Angolan dances kizomba, semba, and tarrachinha.
