It is held by the Luba-Lunda people from Kazembe state in Mwansabombwe/Kazembe, northeastern Zambia. People are coming from all over the country and even from neighboring DR Congo. Mutomboko is the war dance of the Luba-Lunda, danced by the king Chief Mwata Kazembe at the end of two days of rituals and paying homage to the ancestors, dancing and chanting. On the second day, before ging to the arena for the highlight, the Mutomboko dance, Chief Mwata Kazembe is donating food to the nearby Ngona River to honor two brothers who have died there.
