According to legend, Ilunga, the son of a great Luba chief, wooed Lweji, a Lunda chieftain. He introduced into that tribe the concept of divine kingship and also taught the Lunda the art of hunting. ]]> 2023-04-02 19:52:20 UTC https://padlet.com/dschmitz0020/aamlcqjbwzn70b6z/wish/2541321471 dschmitz0020 https://padlet.com/dschmitz0020/aamlcqjbwzn70b6z/wish/2541323759 I choose this music to go along with the art of the Tula warrior columns.

The artist Bongeziwe Mabandla is very talented and has risen to be well known in Angloa just as the artist of the sculpture must have been the best in his craft to create a sculpture of the most well-respected hunter in the Tchokwe culture. ]]> 2023-04-02 20:19:58 UTC https://padlet.com/dschmitz0020/aamlcqjbwzn70b6z/wish/2541334395 dschmitz0020 https://padlet.com/dschmitz0020/aamlcqjbwzn70b6z/wish/2541341942 2023-04-02 20:34:22 UTC https://padlet.com/dschmitz0020/aamlcqjbwzn70b6z/wish/2541341942
