Bonifácio Mário Aurio, one of the recent and best known kizomba/semba dancers to emerge from Angola, has been taking the kizomba scene in Europe by storm.
Originally from Huambo, Angola, Bonifácio has been a member of the dance group Kandengues Unidos from Luanda. He became known after winning both Kizomba Fest Angola 2012, a kizomba competition in Luanda, and the International competition AfricaDançar 2012 in Lisbon, Portugal. Since then he has been residing in Lisbon and, together with his dance partner Lúcia Nogueira, travels internationally to perform and teach at various congresses and festivals throughout Europe.
A true master of semba, he infuses his kizomba dancing with a myriad of playful steps and styling (passadas and toques), in the true angolan tradition.[:ru]Bonifácio Mário Aurio, one of the recent and best known kizomba/semba dancers to emerge from Angola, has been taking the kizomba scene in Europe by storm.
