Don't be surprised to find a Da Souza, Andre and Valentine in Campos, Lagos' Brazilian quarter. This rich Brazilian heritage is kept alive by the descendants of returnees.

Every year the Fanti Carnival bedecks Lagos with Latin American color and rhythm. But the heritage of Lagos' Afro-Brazilian culture is under threat.
