We focus on Quality, not Quantity so you will be able to immerse in the talent of our amazing Artists - Our DJ's will get to animate the whole night as a team instead of just playing 1-hour sets, and our Teachers all teach 2 workshops in only one room - no overlaps!

Fanio de Araújo
Dancer
Second time at our event, straight from the source! He is one of the TOP dancers in Luanda, a real superstar when it comes to Semba Show. 3 times finalist at the National championship of Angola, he is only a new face on European festival lineups, but definitely an old dog when it comes to teaching and performing in the homeland of Kizomba.
Anna Maria & Carlos Camba
Dancers
Probably the most wanted kizomba & semba couple in the international scene at the moment. She is Finnish, he is Angolan, and together they are pure professionalism. It is their second time at our event, and we are already looking forward to the elegance they gonna bring to our festival.
Vladimir Izomba
dancer
A hidden treasure that we have discovered right at the source. A craftsman in teaching the teachniques that evolve the self-confidence of the dancers who learn from him. His specialty is musicality, leading techniques, technical steps. First time in Europe, he is bringing the true Angolan passion for Kizomba and Semba to our festival.
DJ Vadinho
DJ
The "Old dog" on our team, Vadinho is representing the essence of Angola and the real Angolan Party at our festival. He is coming straight from Luanda to show us how it's done in the motherland - he is a resident at the best farras de quintal of Luanda, working as a dj for many decades. It is his very first time playing at a festival outside of Portugal and we expect musical perfection from his sets - just like we experienced at all his parties in Luanda and Lisbon.
DJ Levis
DJ
We have met him in Lisbonin 2018 and ever since have been trying to bring him to BKC.. Levis is a true Angolan DJ straight from the source - he is a resident at some of the best parties of Luanda and also regularly playing at Mwangolé Disco in Lisbon - the place some of you already know as the cathedral of kizomba in Europe. His mixing will blow you away, prepare some comfy dance shoes because you will not want to stop!
DJ Aly Neto
dJ
It is his second time at BKC, but Aly Neto is no beginner when it comes to DJ-ing at the best Kizomba parties around the world. Luanda and Lisbon are his base, he has been setting the dancefloor on fire in Angolan clubs, farras de quintal, weddings, family events, you name it... A true bomb when it comes to PALOP music and Zouk!!
Teresa Freitas
Dancer
Teresa is a real powerhouse of a dancer, her energy is simply contagious... She has just recently moved to Europe and already conquered the hearts of many who have met her at her classes - in the parties make sure to catch her for a dance either you are a leader or a follower!
Nikolett Hamvas
DJ
The Mother of BKC, the "Boss" as the team calls her... She has been dedicating her life to organizing Kizomba events since 2011, standing strong for keeping the authenticity and true Angolan spirit. At BKC she will be assisting Vladimir Izomba at his workshops, as well as showing talent as a DJ at the pre- and afterparties.
