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
I am African American but I have an ancestral connection to the Congo, including Katanga. I have a DNA match who is Muluba. Thank you for giving us information about the people of the Congo. This is fascinating.
I'm in the US and met a Congo lady on a hike recently. I was embarassed at how little I knew about her country. Thank you for providing a basic education.
I’m a Mbili living in South Africa and always wondered why there are so few of us here but it all makes sense my roots are in Congo. Thank you for all this info.
Amazing content, am from Africa specifically Zambia🇿🇲. My family is from of the Luba/Lunda empire. We come from Kazembe which is located in luapula province of Zambia and we speak Bemba dialect. My traditional names are Chiti Kazembe.
My mother is from the Bemba tribe which originated from Luba they apart from sharing a lot of similar words have names like mwamba, Kasongo Katumbi, Chibinda etc I am Lunda a tribe closely linked to Luba with many similar words for example thank you is tunasakili in Luba it's twasakidila my whole heritage comes from the Luba "KALOMBO!" ♥
I am a 100% muluba I'm proud of Where I come from a born and raised in south Africa I never stop or learning about my Roots With more from you thank you for more teachings❤
I am Baluba! I've lived in the US since I was three years old and don't know too much about my culture. I glad to have found your video! Thank you so much.

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.

@@factsonly8778 I am partly a Chewa person. The Chewa tribe established a strong industrious nation in the region around present day Malawi and parts of Zambia and Mozambique. An interesting fact about them is that they migrated from the Luba region in DRC.

Thank you for making this video! I've been researching Luba people and Congo history up and down for my novel and congo culture is an important part of it. It's sad how hard it is to find reliable information online, even with access to academic articles, I feel like there are so many blanks I'm running into that all these articles aren't filling in. Thank you for making this video!!
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.
Thanks for the shout out 😊 and yes that could be one of the reasons we left for the east. Secondly there's this phrase you wouldn't miss in the songs of Tshala Muana and I have heard it in that song that goes"hey hey twamashati, twamashati" I don't know if I got it right.What does it mean? Finally from your dance and confession that you have a drop of luba blood combined with what I have been seeing from Tshala Muana on the stage there's no doubt;luba ladies are best loketo dancers of all time .
You’re most welcome! My Tshiluba is very limited unfortunately despite me being Muluba but I’ll get back to you on that expression 😭😭 Also yes, I think slave trade was definitely one of the ways but maybe you can enlighten us more on that some day. 😊
She is a Kasaian that tell a Kantangese History and try to make it about Kasaians. Lot of lies. Real Luba are in Katanga. There is no Luba History in Kasai.
@@ligala1 luba empire started in katanga go research in Google the wasn't empire in kasai kasai people come from katanga longtime go they lost their history and started claiming katangese history
Mulopwe Kabongo and Kasongo wa Nyembo reside in Katanga. Bakongo speak kikongo, Batetela kitetela and the Luba speak kiluba. Kongolo Mwamba lived in Mwibele in the zone of Kabongo ( Katanga). If you have the opportunity you can visit the place and there is a very beautiful lake Boya. The history must be told as it is
That’s very true! It’s sad that even on the continent this is not taught as much as the colonial period is taught. And even the stories of the colonial period are misleading.
Hi @CongoTalks243, im from Tanzania qnd my people are called manyema because many of us are descendants of Luba slaves capture by tipu tip by the help of Batele people. Would you happen to know which clan or historical occurrences the province of Maniema had to play in the luba empire? Great video btw and you can dance please dont listen to them haters🥲
I was reading My Gender is Marronage: A Revisitation, when the author mentioned a quote from and elder named Tobi who would whisper proverbs that the Luba people would say. Then ADHD brain took me down a rabbit hole of what that language would be valued and who the Luba people are as a whole
My father is baluba. I have never been to DRC, but I want to visit. Here in Norway baluba is a word for chaos. It annoys me when people use it that way, and noone here knows that it comes from the name of a people.
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
Hello I really enjoyed it all the way If you don't mind to talk more on our religion, I long to know more about our religion before we were forced into Christianity. Thank you ma'am 🙏 in advance 😊
There is a anti-Kasai/Lubaism in the DRC. I know in Katanga it still exists today. They hate Luba people for their education and economic advantages. There was even an expulsion in the 1990's.
Hi, good evening ma How can I get in touch with you privately, I need your help to get through with my project, I need to get an interview with a congolese especially a native of luba
What people don't understand is : Tshiluba and Kiluba are traditionnaly the same language, because when we say "Tshisonge", it's in nothing different from Kisonge, it's just a particular prononciation of the language's name. Same with Tshisaudi for Kiswahili, Tshinsansa for Kinshasa, etc... But as the white man arrived, he did his best to make future generations (us) think that Tshiluba and Kiluba were separated languages, when actually, this is not the case. People from Kananga/Mbuji-Mayi are not Baluba and think they are because of colonization, go and try to ask a 100yo old person in Kasai if they refer to themselves as a Muluba or if their ancestors did, the answer could be really surprising. The truth has to be said because we cannot build a country in lies. And for people who will come for me, saying I'm promoting tribalism or hate, this is not my goal haha. Our sister did her best to talk about an African civilization, which is in every aspects of it, respectable, unfortunately, and probably independently of her own will, she's carrying on the misleading narrative set in place by the Belgians. I can provide more informations for those who'd be interested in knowing more about it. Peace everyone ! Mwafwa'ko ne kuntanga ! (Thank you all for reading me)
Brother you haven’t said a word. Your thoughts are so vague. I’d just keep quiet if I were you. They speak tshiluba we call them tshiluba speakers or baluba. I strongly believe you’re just promoting tribalism cuz you haven’t backed your myth with any verified info. Mbujinayi/kananga are barely 100 years old.
@@Vey_dd If you understand French, give me your e-mail and I'll send you the book "Les Baluba, Pune histoire revisitee" by Lukanda Lwa Malale I'm living in DRC and I know what I say, people from kasai describe themselves as Baluba, so do some people of Katanga But in Katanga, people from Kasai are not called Baluba, they are called kasai (bakasai in the plural form) and here, they perfectly acknowledge the fact they're not Baluba Try to ask someone who just came from Kasai "udi muluba ?" The answer is most of the time the same : "Meme ncyena muluba to, ndi mwena kasai, mukwa..." The only people from Kasai that think are Baluba are the ones who went to school, but we all know the education system wasn't designed by the natives for their benefit, it was designed by the colonizers to serve their interests That's kinda weird that both are said Baluba, yet have not the same language, the same ancestors, the same stories, the same political system, the same principles, etc... I could elaborate on this for hours, since I know what I say and can back it up with real proofs, that can be verified IRL

This is an informative video. I am studying Africa History right now . My study show me that Africa 54 nations are still practicing a form of tribalism . In all 54 African Nations to few people are making the decisions for the Nations . By detribalizing the Nation Africa could come up with the solution to their problems by treating all African people equal no matter what tribe they come from.That just my point of view. Would you do I video on the Kingdom of Kuba ? The Kingdom of Kuba was in the western Kongo northern Angola area. Thank you
Yes, tribalism is still very much alive. Getting rid of it is definitely one of our focus areas and we’re making some progress slowly. Yes, I will be talking about the Kingdom of Kuba too! Thanks for the feedback 🙌🏾😊
Our colonial government abolished the existence of the people called baluba who where at the kafue hook to pave way for the kafue national park. But we will demand for their reinstall back to their home soon.
I need to watch it again because there were some bits I missed. Also. I am very interested in anything you can tell me about the area around Isiro. 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. I don't mean to bombard you with messages but I feel like I have found the Motherlode of information on the DRC and 11 years of questions are clamouring for answers.

I was reading My Gender is Marronage: A Revisitation, when the author mentioned a quote from and elder named Tobi who would whisper proverbs that the Luba people would say. Then ADHD brain took me down a rabbit hole of what that language would be valued and who the Luba people are as a whole
You are very blessed. I have heard you speak Luba, Kikongo, Lingala, English & French👍
Great dance:vibes
I had no clue. Thank you so much
My father is baluba. I have never been to DRC, but I want to visit. Here in Norway baluba is a word for chaos. It annoys me when people use it that way, and noone here knows that it comes from the name of a people.
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

What tribe is your mother from?
Hello
I really enjoyed it all the way
If you don't mind to talk more on our religion, I long to know more about our religion before we were forced into Christianity.
Thank you ma'am 🙏 in advance 😊
Noted! Thank you for the suggestion.
Same.I want to know too
My teacher assigned us this assignment. That’s how I found you
Thank You.
Do you have any pictures of ILunga Mbili?
The Kingdom of Congo is the only thing that make sense to me Connecting the Bible and the Garden of Eden.
There is a anti-Kasai/Lubaism in the DRC. I know in Katanga it still exists today. They hate Luba people for their education and economic advantages. There was even an expulsion in the 1990's.
The fact the Luba history is based from Katanga
Thank you for sharing this info sis! Do you mind recommending some books about this topic so I can do further research ?
There are a lot of mistakes.
Betwabu is there a way to connect with you? I'm learning more and discovering that I am baluba or muluba. Still learning the dialect sorry
Betwabu! Yes, you can get in touch on congotalksteam@gmail.com
And you’re not alone, I don’t speak Tshiluba either 😕

In total how many kingdoms were established within the Congo?
At least 7. I talked about 4 and there’s also Azande, Msiri, Chokwe etc
@@CongoTalks243 Oh,ok,that's interesting
Over 100,
Luba Empire looooool
Yesss bro!! 🤩🤩🤩🙌🏾
It was an empire. It included several peoples which is what made it the greatest in bantu Africa
To moni loketo ,
What people don't understand is : Tshiluba and Kiluba are traditionnaly the same language, because when we say "Tshisonge", it's in nothing different from Kisonge, it's just a particular prononciation of the language's name.
Same with Tshisaudi for Kiswahili, Tshinsansa for Kinshasa, etc...
But as the white man arrived, he did his best to make future generations (us) think that Tshiluba and Kiluba were separated languages, when actually, this is not the case.
People from Kananga/Mbuji-Mayi are not Baluba and think they are because of colonization, go and try to ask a 100yo old person in Kasai if they refer to themselves as a Muluba or if their ancestors did, the answer could be really surprising.
The truth has to be said because we cannot build a country in lies.
And for people who will come for me, saying I'm promoting tribalism or hate, this is not my goal haha. Our sister did her best to talk about an African civilization, which is in every aspects of it, respectable, unfortunately, and probably independently of her own will, she's carrying on the misleading narrative set in place by the Belgians.
I can provide more informations for those who'd be interested in knowing more about it.
Peace everyone !
Mwafwa'ko ne kuntanga ! (Thank you all for reading me)
Brother you haven’t said a word. Your thoughts are so vague. I’d just keep quiet if I were you.
They speak tshiluba we call them tshiluba speakers or baluba. I strongly believe you’re just promoting tribalism cuz you haven’t backed your myth with any verified info. Mbujinayi/kananga are barely 100 years old.
@@Vey_dd If you understand French, give me your e-mail and I'll send you the book "Les Baluba, Pune histoire revisitee" by Lukanda Lwa Malale
I'm living in DRC and I know what I say, people from kasai describe themselves as Baluba, so do some people of Katanga
But in Katanga, people from Kasai are not called Baluba, they are called kasai (bakasai in the plural form) and here, they perfectly acknowledge the fact they're not Baluba
Try to ask someone who just came from Kasai "udi muluba ?"
The answer is most of the time the same : "Meme ncyena muluba to, ndi mwena kasai, mukwa..."
The only people from Kasai that think are Baluba are the ones who went to school, but we all know the education system wasn't designed by the natives for their benefit, it was designed by the colonizers to serve their interests
That's kinda weird that both are said Baluba, yet have not the same language, the same ancestors, the same stories, the same political system, the same principles, etc...
I could elaborate on this for hours, since I know what I say and can back it up with real proofs, that can be verified IRL
I would like to read that book you've just mentionned brother

My guy what kasai stand for?
This is an informative video. I am studying Africa History right now . My study show me that Africa 54 nations are still practicing a form of tribalism . In all 54 African Nations to few people are making the decisions for the Nations . By detribalizing the Nation Africa could come up with the solution to their problems by treating all African people equal no matter what tribe they come from.That just my point of view. Would you do I video on the Kingdom of Kuba ? The Kingdom of Kuba was in the western Kongo northern Angola area. Thank you
Yes, tribalism is still very much alive. Getting rid of it is definitely one of our focus areas and we’re making some progress slowly. Yes, I will be talking about the Kingdom of Kuba too! Thanks for the feedback 🙌🏾😊

Hi, Can I know the title of the intro song that you played?
Maweja :)
Our colonial government abolished the existence of the people called baluba who where at the kafue hook to pave way for the kafue national park. But we will demand for their reinstall back to their home soon.

@@razackchrist5096 according to you
@@michellekabanga3612 It's just the truth.
@@razackchrist5096 you must be bitter nothing can change history
@@michellekabanga3612 you too cozy if you study luba empire it based in katanga not kasai
😢😢 i can't believe it this is my Family that she's talking about my grandfather is father's father 😮 i don't how i find you
I need to watch it again because there were some bits I missed. Also. I am very interested in anything you can tell me about the area around Isiro. 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.
I don't mean to bombard you with messages but I feel like I have found the Motherlode of information on the DRC and 11 years of questions are clamouring for answers.
I am bemba from northern zambia.lam interested to know our history from kubuluba.
