Fwemba

Fwemba is a ritualistic and expressive dance performed by the Tumbuka people in Eastern Zambia, particularly in districts such as Lundazi, Chasefu, and Lumezi, as well as Chama in Muchinga Province. The dance features energetic and martial movements that convey both community celebration and resistance. The Chitumbuka word term Fwemba is tied to its dual role as both a victory dance and a form of protest.
