Mbenga (people)

Mbenga refers to an ethnic group primarily found in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and surrounding regions. They are part of the Bantu-speaking peoples, sharing cultural and linguistic ties with neighboring groups. Traditionally, the Mbenga are engaged in activities such as agriculture, hunting, and fishing, with social organizations that emphasize community bonds and oral traditions. Their customs, music, and dance play important roles in maintaining their cultural identity. As a relatively small but resilient group, the Mbenga contribute to the diverse cultural mosaic of Central Africa.
