“Mucubal kid digging for water – Angola. Mucubal near Virie grow corn, as they have access to good wells. But the daily work is to dig the well to rech the water which can be 2 or 3 meters deep. This little kid imitates the adults and help them”. (Photo and comments by Eric Lafforgue)

“The smallest you are, the biggest you have.. Mucubal - Angola. All the Mucubal men have this big knife called omotungo, at any time of the day. They use it to cut wood, kill scorpions and snakes. It is also a good way to look terrific to the french tourists!”. (Photo and comments by Eric Lafforgue)
