this is africa ? or a show for tourist easy pics ?

jose ferreira And if it is a touristic show is no longer in Africa?

Hippolyte it's a part of africa for tourist but it's not "africa". I'm sorry but you can't title your image like this, it's too simple, africa is more difficult too define than some guys dancing for turist in old wear (I'm not sure that's the kind of clothe they will got when you left the place).
But you are from portugal uhm ? what do you think if I take a picture of some girls dancing in old traditional clothes and title : "this is portugal" wow ! I'm sure I understand anything about your country with that kind of shot ;)
Try to imagine a photo that can resume one country, it's impossible. And here you go farther : you show a dance for a continent. That's not because they are black and they dance that they resume "africa", sorry. They are traditional dancers from a country in africa, no more. Be careful with stereotype that's all i try to say.
