	Imbangala -- Encyclopædia Britannica
		The Imbangala, sometimes mistakenly identified with the Jaga, probably left the Lunda state of Shaba in the 15th century under a leader entitled kinguri.
		By the end of the 16th century well-organized military bands of marauders, known as the Imbangala, began to appear along the coast south of Luanda.
		As a result, the Ovimbundu kingdoms on the Bié Plateau, which probably were formed by refugees from the Imbangala and Mbundu kingdoms in the late 16th and 17th centuries, displaced Kasanje as the main source of...

	The Slave King (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		During the seventeenth century the territory the Portuguese called Angola was disrupted by factors that included the pressure of the Portuguese slave trade and occupation of the coast, by the collapse of states such as the Kingdom of the Kongo to the north, and by invasions principally from the northeast.
		Nganga a nzumbi was a religious title among the Imbangala whose responsibilities included relieving sufferings caused by an unhappy spirit of a lineage ancestor (nzumbi).
		Despite the title and apparent official function of Bantu origin, the Ganga-Zumba known to history was possibly a native Palmarino of the Ardra Nation, identifiable with the Ewe-speaking Allada state on the Slave Coast.

		Had either read Cavazzi de Montecuccolo's Istorica Descrittione de Tre Regni Congo, Matamba e Angola (1687-90), upon which Miller in part draws, they would know there is a separate Imbangala priest, the nganga a nzumba (head of the billy-goat cult) to go along with the nganaga a nzumbi, the priest in charge of spiritual purity.
		And any number of people, relying on their credentials and publication history (and they are both good scholars, as far as I can tell), would bet they are right and believe them.
		Certainly we know the Imbangala leader lived in the capital, though, which would seem to count against the 1645 document as establishing Imbangala rule or describing the nganga a nzumbi.

		Luba processes of "colonization," personified in oral histories as the culture hero Chibinda Ilunga, introduce new governmental concepts such as divine kingship (balopwe) southward to the Lunda peoples and stimulate the development and dispersal of courtly art forms.
		In this period, the Imbangala also develop kilombo, a system of initiation in which youths renounce family ties and are raised communally in quasi-military formations.
		This term resurfaces in nineteenth-century Brazil as quilombo, where it refers to hidden communities of escaped slaves, many of whom are of Central African descent.

		Among the many independent groups were the Portuguese pombeiros who went deep into western central Africa in the 16th century, initially acting on behalf of the Portuguese traders on the coast.
		There were also the Yaka and Imbangala, who although of different origins, were equally adept at making a living off other communities, ruthlessly pillaging crops and cattle, as well as slaves.
		With the defeat of the Kongo in 1665, the Vili, (located north of the Kongo estuary), took on a greater commercial role, travelling regularly the 800 km to Kasanje, a new powerful broker state bordering on the Lunda kingdom.

		The Imbangala maintained their numbers exclusively by training the children of their victims to be warriors.
		The conduct of rampaging Imbangala mercenaries was chronicled by Vogado Sotomaior, the ouvidor geral de Angola, who complained of the destruction of the royal Ndongo city of Kabasa, that it was "sacked in such a way that many thousands of souls were captured, killed and eaten".
		Those surviving Ndongo who had not been slaughtered and eaten by the Imbangala, were packed into flimsy, hastily built facilities, which could not nearly contain them all.

	James H. Sweet - Recreating Africa: Culture,Kinship, and Religion in the Portuguese World,1441-1770 - 0807854824 - ...
		Exploring the cultural lives of African slaves in the early colonial Portuguese world, with an emphasis on the more than 1 million Central Africans who survived the journey to Brazil, James Sweet lifts a curtain on their lives as Africans rather than as incipient Brazilians.
		Focusing first on the cultures of Central Africa from which the slaves came--Ndembu, Imbangala, Kongo, and others--Sweet identifies specific cultural rites and beliefs that survived their transplantation to the African-Portuguese diaspora, arguing that they did not give way to immediate creolization in the New World but remained distinctly African for some time.
		Slaves transferred many cultural practices from their homelands to Brazil, including kinship structures, divination rituals, judicial ordeals, ritual burials, dietary restrictions, and secret societies.

		It became a fundamental principle of Islamic jurisprudence that the natural condition, and therefore the presumed status, of mankind was freedom, just as the basic rule concerning actions is "permittedness": what is not expressly forbidden is permitted; whoever is not known to be a slave is free.
		In some regions of Africa, slaves were simply "victims of kidnapping." In addition, slaves were also acquired through trading as with the Imbangala.
		In these instances, people such as the Imbangala did not have to resort to war to obtain slaves.

	AFRICAN POLITICAL ETHICS AND THE SLAVE TRADE
		In 1618 the newly arrived governor of Angola, Luis Mendes de Vasconcellos, made an alliance with the Imbangala, dreaded cannibal mercenaries from the south, and used their assistance to crush the Kingdom of Ndongo.
		Flushed with these victories, Portuguese governors subsequently picked wars with a variety of the smaller states that lay between Kongo and Angola, and then, in November 1621 a large Angolan force invaded southern Kongo and defeated the local army at Mbumbi.
		Njinga came to power in the terror and confusion of the aftermath of Governor Mendes de Vasconcellos' alliance with the Imbangala and his war on Ndongo.

	Spirits And Spirituality: Alcohol In Caribbean Slave Societies, by Frederick H. Smith
		In West Central Africa, in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth century, the people of the Kongo were known to "bury their dead on the mountains in cool pleasant places...[and] leave wine and food" (Balandier 1968:251).
		According to historian Joseph Miller (1976:177n6), in the seventeenth century the Imbangala of West Central Africa "made extensive use of palm wine in their rituals...pouring the wine over the graves of their ancestors in an attempt to contact the dead."
		The use of alcohol in birth and funeral ceremonies may reflect the need to bring the community through an anxious period of spiritual liminality.
