How to Dial Luanda, Angola From the United States

Luanda is the capital of Angola, a Republic located on the southwestern coast of Africa. The first people to settle in this land were primitive bushmen, later assimilated by the Bantu, an advanced community of people who possessed superior metal-working technology, according to Angola.org. Angola was later colonized by the Portuguese in 1575, and remained under Portuguese control until 1975 when the country gained its full independence. Many people living in the U.S. and Brazil have Angolan ties, and still have family living in Angola. Dialing the capital of Angola from the U.S. is done through a process of international dialing, and you must know the country code and area code to perform this task.
