The Bantu Peoples are a group of over 500 distinct ethnic groups in Africa who speak languages belonging to the Bantu language family. They are primarily found in regions of central, eastern, and southern Africa, including countries like Kenya, South Africa, and Democratic Republic of the Congo. The Bantu migration, which began around 1000 BCE, spread their languages and cultures across the continent. Bantu societies are known for their agricultural practices, ironworking skills, and rich cultural traditions, including music and dance. They have a diverse range of beliefs and customs, often influenced by local environments and interactions with other groups. The Bantu legacy continues to shape the cultural landscape of Africa today.
