    The Bakongo were plentiful in Jamaica as well...where all my family is from...their culture among the many ethnic groups in Jamaica such as the Akan...survived to present day in the form of Kumina and as a matter of fact the kumina drumming form and style was absorbed into Nyabinghi drumming of the rastas which eventually became apart of the base for Reggae/roots music in jamaica

In Nigeria, the Yoruba's, Igbo's, Hausas, Edo's etc all tell their own story, wrote scholastic and academic books on them, produced videos and all sorts of literary works to promote their cultures. It should even be a shame that it took the effort of a Diasporan to exhume and tell the obvious beautiful, rich and deeply spiritual stories of your own culture, to the world, for your amusement. If you think enough is not being done, get your gears ready and start your own channel and do justice to this topic.

Kikongo on republic of the Congo is spoken from north to south and the outmost northern part and part along the Congo river mostly speak lingala. I don’t wanna divide us but people when they speak About Kongo refuse to acknowledge the fact that Kongo people were mostly along the cost which means in the republic of the Congo. So saying that Portugal took Angola and Léopold took Congo is historically wrong since in Congo Brazzaville there were both Portuguese and French occupation. And republic of the Congo was first called the French Congo. But after called Congo Brazzaville because of “De Brazza” the Portuguese who was the fist to establish himself in the area.

      Actually, in kikongo there is the word Nzambi (from Imn-Ra) for God. But there is also the nzambi which means cadaver. Its synonym is mvumbi. These two last words derive from the Egyptian wi (mommy). (See Luka Lusala lu ne Nkuka, De l'origine égyptienne des Bakongo, tome 2).

      Paula Magaga,all African languages, I mean from the Bantus come from our very first language LUKONGOLO, which then became Kikongo and kept separating, that's the reason why in many African languages you find a Kikongo word in it. The Bakongo being the elders in black people's race, know the names of our first ancestors, black people's origin. We don't come from Adam and Eve, which in itself is absurd as in Hebrew simply means a man and woman. Who is your father? A man. Who is your mother? A woman. Crazy, doesn't make sense.
