Queen Nzinga of the Ndongo and Matamba Kingdoms, a scion of the Mbundu people, will spend forty years standing between the Portuguese and their ambitions, using everything at her command -- her cunning, her ruthless intellect, her military acumen, even the bodies of her people -- whatever it takes to succeed.

Nzinga had a great cultural impact on Brazilian slaves, many today don't know, but the word we use "Ginga", is directly related to queen Nzinga. Ginga means something like "finding a way through adversity, no matter how", deeply related to creative means. That word seems to originate based on queen Nzinga's persistence, and creativity towards the challenges of her life.

A trivia. In Angola local language "Quimbundo" there are 4 or 5 categories of names according to certain circumstances of the baby birth. For examples Queen Nzinga as a baby born with the umbilical cord around her neck would traditionally receive the name of "Lubambo".

You guys are sounding just like the governer -_- I mean come on: they did voices for other individuals in the videos and nobody complained in those instances. Yet governer complains that a women is leading her people with obvious misogyny and you complain about the way his tone is depicted? Seems sketchy to me..... Besides: that is the typical tone of voice mysogensits use whenever a women does something that makes them butt-hurt.

Terry Carr they were slaves, the Portuguese started the slave trade when they had contact with africans South of Marroco, the empire of Mali was one of them, they were using slaves for Battle and forced work. Ndongo was the same thing, the europeans “just” made it a bigger operation and worsen the life of slaves, their life was bad but we made it worst.

@@iPizerr ... irrelevant, because we consider it so. But even if we don't know or see their influence, on our modern world doesn't mean the didn't have one. Learning about african culture can make you understand a lot on how some modern culture, religion (such as modern vaudou),were born, modified and evolve through time... History is generaly a matter of perspective if you look only one way you never grasp how some detail actualy define our world today. Plus seeing africa as irrelevant is a mistake, africa might be unstable, but we can't deny they go a rich culture, history and rich land too So no they are not irrelevant. Africa influence most of the culture of the "new world". Most of ex colonial empire have now complex relation of love & hate with Africa. maybe european shape modern Africa but violent or not when 2 civ meet each other there is exchange in the 2 sides.
