    Am a bemba from zambia. Our tribe originated from the Luba empire and I have also noticed words like mwamba and mulopwe which we alsa have as well with the same meanings so wow

      Bembas originate in Kola Angola 🇦🇴, and when the Portuguese invaded the Kingdom of Kongo in Angola or modern Angola they run away into Luba modern territory and from there downwards towards modern Zambia…. The Luba people were also in modern Angola at one point before the Portuguese vandalised the area and many sought lands in modern DRC… We are all one ☝🏿

When the Portuguese invaded the territory of Angola many of the Tribes run away and searched for new lands… The Portuguese were there for 500 years, and many tribes were afraid to be captured, so they relocated elsewhere….

    Hi, I'm from Karukera (Guadeloupe , Caribbean) and I was watching your video to learn about my African history 'cause they don't teach us what we should be teached at school.
    I learn that in our langage in my island,a lot off the world we speak are from bakongo or kikongo and another langage I forgot,so I thought I ought to start learning about the Kongo Kingdom first.
    (For instance we have words like "moun" ,"biten",etc)
    Thanks for the video,the dance, the music and everything you shared. I learned a lot . The fact that you know how to speak the langage and are directly related to the Luba people you're talking about is awesome! You're so lucky to know where you come from and to know your culture...
    I have a question: what about the Women in the Kongo kingdom? In your explanation,the only people who seem to exist are men.If it weren't for the woman on the photo of bambudye people,it would seem like they were instinct.
    I am really curious to hear about how life was for them in the differents part of the Kingdom,and if they Could have power like the Candaces ...What life was for them specifically.
    And again I am really happy to hear all these explanations from a sister! Know that your presence on youtube doing what you do as a Woman is much appreciated,and definitively makes a difference!

      Hello! Thank you for your encouraging words, I am glad you found value in this video. The Luba Kingdom is different from the Kingdom of Kongo and it was a patrilineal society, meaning that power was usually focussed on men. There are other kingdoms that were matrilineal, like the Lunda society. I have videos on the Kingdom of Kongo and the Lunda Empire, feel free to watch them via the links below.

    Great video sis, am Luba as well😁 luba history ( alongside many African kingdom's history) is very complex and not properly researched. We as a people haven't got actual historian that study our history and give accounts of true events. I know it's hard to research coz most of our history is oral history and most of us do not fully understand our mother tongue anymore due to colonialism, this has led to a lot of information being lost and misinterpreted. At a time like this, we need more young people to become interested in our history. We need to listen to our elders account of history and from there we can put the pieces of our history back together. By doing so we will find out more about who we are and where we are going.

In all 54 African Nations to few people are making the decisions for the Nations .

    • @epitredechrist894
      @epitredechrist894 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The Baluba people are originally from the Kasaï provinces. When Baluba had an empire with laws and leadership, those Congolese who think that it’s a chaos to be luba were leaving like animals. The fact of the matter is that the colonialists taught other tribes of Congo especially baswahili to hate Baluba because they were resisting to the them. Lumumba was from Kasai too. So Baluba are the most powerful people culturally and educationally and in terms of talent too. They are hard workers. Many Baluba engineers were working in Gecamine and other companies when Mobutu influenced kiungu to preach hatred against Luba or Luba-phobia to kick them out and take their jobs. Lubas are people of wisdom, spirituality and tallent
      One of the 2 first Congolese aviators was Luba Ildephonse ILUNGA
      The first Congolese Dr of law Tshisekedi was Luba
      In gospel and music Lubas are the best of all time
      In the sport they have the best too even world champion in some sport ILUNGA Makabu, DIKEMBE, Pierre NDAYE, so there’s absolutely no reason to use the word Baluba or Luba as a chaos. You should be proud to MuLuba

And why it is that Mobuto, when he was alive seemed to be chartering Concorde to go shopping in Europe is so popular now. Not that I' disagree with Kapernick about taking the knee but I've heard him praised by the Congolese yet if a Congolese Kapernick had done that in Mobuto's time, during La Zaireoise, the late President would have fed the man his own knee caps.
