Also known as Mutomboko ceremony

The Mutomboko is an annual ceremony of the Lunda people of the Luapula valley in Zambia, held each July at Mwansabombwe, the seat of the Mwata Kazembe. It commemorates the Lunda migration from the kingdom of the Mwata Yamvo and the conquest of the Luapula valley in the 18th century, and it culminates in a victory dance performed by the Kazembe himself.
