The Kongo People are an ethnic group primarily found in the western region of Central Africa, particularly in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Republic of the Congo, and Angola. They have a rich cultural heritage, known for their traditional music, dance, and art, which often reflect their historical connections to the Kongo Kingdom, a powerful state that existed from the 14th to the 19th century. The Kongo People speak the Kikongo language, which is part of the Bantu language family. Their society is organized around clans, and they practice various forms of agriculture, fishing, and trade. The Kongo People have also been influenced by Christianity, introduced during European colonization, which has blended with their traditional beliefs and practices.
