Location: Western Africa, islands in the Gulf of Guinea, straddling the Equator, west of Gabon. Ethnic groups: mestico, angolares (descendants of Angolan slaves), forros (descendants of freed slaves), servicais (contract laborers from Angola, Mozambique, and Cape Verde), tongas (children of servicais born on the islands), Europeans (primarily Portuguese) images of
