Kangamba

Kangamba lies in the wooded interior of eastern Angola, in the country of the Chokwe and their neighbours. The Chokwe, also known as Kioko, cultivated fields and hunted in a landscape shaped by alternating wet and dry seasons. Their chiefs shared traditions of descent connected with Lunda migrations, and Chokwe communities formed part of the wider Lunda political world during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Ivory and wax became goods of exchange along routes through the interior.
