Goba People

Among more than 73 tribes living in Zambia, the Goba people guard their particularities and stories by the edge of the Zambezi River, the fourth longest river in Africa. In the middle of the modern world, they have preserved traditional ways of fishing, farming and surviving. There are many ways to research, understand and notice an identity of a population. Such as through dance, music, religion and art. However, within these, there is a special and specific relationship with food. In the village of Mugurameno, which belongs to the Tribal Leadership of Chiawa, the main element used for survival is the Corn. A key component of their food system, present in their community relations, carrying a great and expressive cultural meaning.
