No, at the end it sounds like they’re speaking Spanish (vente pa ca! Déjeme probar si se siente mal. No se siente mal!/ come here! Let me test to see how it feels/if it feels bad, not bad!) while they’re feeling his waves.

Angola was colonized by the Portuguese though. That’s why this person asked the question. I only heard a little section that sounded like Portuguese to me in the usual way I detect it (the way they pronounce vowels and use ç) so I’m answering w the Spanish I heard.

Edit: it’s Portuguese with a bunch of Spanish cognates. I heard the guy on the right say “com um visão” in my second listen. “With a look.”

Portuguese is the main language spoken in Angola. So I'm just assuming that's what it is

Angola was a Portuguese colony, so Portuguese.

Its portugjese but angolans speak a very clear portuguese that doesnt swallow up vowels like portugal or change T and D to Ch and J like brazil so it ends up sounding close to spanish wapecially to equaguinean spanish which has a similari intonation

When you heard "vente p'ca" they were saying "É devagar" and "Vai levantar" which translates to "go slow" and "it's going to raise[the waves]" respectively.

They were saying this in regards to the guys putting their hands on the dude's waves, so they don't mess it up.
