Description
The Mangbele are a sub-group of the Mangbetu, mixed with the Mamvu. Most tribes in this north eastern corner of the Congo have been absorbed in whole or in part by their neighbours. This Bantu tribe came under the cultural sway of the stronger Sudanic Mangbetu and have adopted the habits of their mentors. The name of the chief whose praises are sung in this song is Mokoto.
