LS Republicano (legally LS & Republicano) is an events production, artist management and audiovisual production company based in Luanda, Angola. It was founded in 2007 by Fernando Inácio Vasco Republicano, known professionally as Nino Republicano, who remains its founder and chief executive.

The company is independent and founder-owned. Its roster has included Angolan singer Anselmo Ralph, who worked with LS Republicano early in his career before the pair parted ways in 2014, along with artists including Anna Joyce, Rui Orlando, Pérola and Yannick Afroman. LS Republicano has also produced touring showcases under the Team de Sonho banner and was a lead producer on Festival 50 Anos, a 2025 event marking fifty years of Angolan independence.

LS Republicano operates primarily in Angola, with some activity extending into Portugal. No verifiable official website could be confirmed for the company: its former domains either resolve to an unrelated business or return no usable content as of October 2026.
