GAMBUE People

---

---

Gambue people (Mugambue) live in the feet of small rocky hills of Huila Plateau and in the forested plains south of Chibia in Angola.

Gambue people share many traditions with their northern neighbors: the Muila and the Handa. Like them, Gambue women wear beaded clay necklaces and shape their hair with complex forms to show their marital status. Compared to the Muila, the Gambue have smaller necklaces. Nowadays, the Gambue can only be found in remote villages and only in the older generations can traditional tribal clothing be seen, due to the influence of the heavily westernized Humbi people, their southern neighbors. Mugambue speak Nyaneka language.
