Walamo Tribal Ceremony

Bio

Walamo Tribal Ceremony is a traditional ceremony held in the Ngwenya market in Mpulungu in Zambia. The event was revived in 2003 after 61 years of inactivity. That same year, Chief Tafuna presided over the ceremony. The event was celebrated to pay homage to the ancestral spirits of the Lungu tribe who include Kapembwa, Mbita, Nalukale, Chilowela, Chisha, Manzi Mbwiro and Nundo. It was also celebrated to remember victories during tribal wars as well as praise their ancestral spirits who had given the Lungu people crops and signal the beginning of the fishing season in Lake Tanganyika which they (Lungu tribe) believed was given to them by the same spirits. People who gather at this event are entertained through dance, song and drumming.
