The festival

In Mize, the royal capital of the Luvals near the town of Zambezi, in northwestern Zambia, Likumbi Lya Mize is the great traditional ceremony of the Luval people. It crowns the rites of initiation of girls (wali) and boys (mukanda): masked makishi dancers, spirits of the ancestors with spectacular costumes, revive the luval myths in the royal arena, in front of the Senior Chief Ndungu.

Songs, drums, crafts and speeches by the chef are on the rhythm of several days of celebration, the last weekend of August. No 2027 edition is yet announced.
