UGANDA

Anthony Ssuuna

Uganda is a country dominated mainly by the Baganda unlike other tribes .The Bagandas are a Bantu group of people who are farmers and speak the language Luganda which is a Bantu language.

The staple food there is matooke and g.nut paste .it is cooked by wrapping in banana leaves and boiling then you squeeze them and then ready for consumption.

A King who together with his relatives that is the prince and princesses are abalangira and the commoner’s bakopi rules Baganda. The baganda men put on kanzus and the women gomesis. The women are supposed to kneel down as the men seat on the chairs it is the work of the man to go and look for the meat and the woman to cook care for the children and dig around traditionally but it is fading out today due to the western culture.

The dances are many including nankasa a traditional kiganda dance and others.
