Saturday 27th August,
2016 will be a very interesting day for Zambia in the North-Western and Eastern
provinces of Zambia. This is because there will be two traditional ceremonies
being held on that very day. Both ceremonies are all very big and colorful,
they are characterized by dances, singing and paying homage to their respective
paramount chiefs.
The Likumbi Lya Mize is the
official traditional ceremony of the Luvale people of the Zambezi are in Zambia.
The ceremony is a platform in which the Luvale people pay homage and show
loyalty to their paramount chief. At this ceremony, one can catch a glimpse of
the makishi dancers who display colorful and energetic dances. These dancers
are always masked and never review their identity.
The Kulamba traditional ceremony
is the ceremony of the Chewa people and it is held every August in Katete. This
ceremony is not to be confused with the Kulamba Kubwalo traditional ceremony
which is the traditional ceremony of the Lenje. The Kulamba is famous for the
nyau dancers that are always in attendance. This is a very big ceremony as it
is celebrated by the Chewa people of not only Eastern Zambia but also the Chewa
of Malawi and Mozambique.
The Pamodzi Carnival is also right around the corner, this Carnival
starts at the woodlands stadium goes through Burma Road, onto Cairo road
joining Great east road and ending at the Lusaka show grounds. There will be a
lot of activities which include a food festival and various dances. The date
