Nganga

Nganga is a Bantu term for herbalist or spiritual healer in many African societies and also in many societies of the African diaspora such as those in Haiti, Brazil, and Cuba. It is derived from *-ganga in proto-Njila, an early branch of the Bantu family. The verb form related to it, -gang- relates to wisdom, knowledge and skill. As this term is a multiple reflex of a Proto-Bantu root, there are slight variations on the term throughout the entire Bantu-speaking world.

In Africa

The owner and operator of an nkisi, who ministered its powers to others, was the nganga.

In the Kingdom of Kongo the term "nganga" was the name for a person who possessed the skill to communicate with the Other World, as well as divining the cause of illness, misfortune and social stress and preparing measures to address them, often by supernatural means but sometimes natural medicine as well. They were also responsible for charging nkisi, or physical objects intended to be the receptacle for spiritual forces. When Kongo converted to Christianity in the late fifteenth century, the term nganga was used to translate Christian priest as well as traditional spiritual mediators. In modern Kikongo Christian priests are often called "Nganga a Nzambi" or "priests of God."

'Nganga' is featured as a movie character in the following productions:

Sailing Miss Sadie (2009)

Actors: Lucas Friedmann (writer), Sadie Kaye (writer), Sadie Kaye (producer), Sadie Kaye (actress), Dominic Dandridge (director), Dominic Dandridge (editor), Mark Horwood (composer), Andrei D. Gomes da Costa (editor), Geoffrey Chege Nganga (actor), Angel Rizo (actor), Angel Rizo (producer), Ryan Stanton (composer), Andrei D. Gomes da Costa (director), Geoffrey Chege Nganga (actor), Christopher Tahaney (actor),

Plot: In "Sailing Miss Sadie", an eccentric social entrepreneur liberates three persistent young offenders on an empowering white-knuckle voyage of self-exploration. Having sailed from Bequia through 5 meter waves to Venezuela, there are still rough seas ahead as the lads find themselves back in prison in Caracas, Venezuela. Will their experiences and the stories of inmates inside anarchic El Rodeo Jail horrify them into turning their backs on a life of crime and violence for good? Described by new BBC One Controller Danny Cohen as "one of the most moving, powerful and entertaining documentaries I've seen", expect an emotional joyride through the adolescent criminal mind, leaving them (and you) wondering: is life really a process of self-discovery, or of self-creation?

Keywords: alcatraz, awareness, caribbean, danger, discovery, experimental, hobo, mentor, open-prison, personal-development
Genres: Documentary,
Taglines: Whats the question? What has life got in store for us? Life is a process of self creation, you decide what you want to do, you decide the person you want to be, and then you just be it! I got to contemplate all this now, and think deeply about all this and take it back with me

You know that guy
who stole your girlfriend
away from you
in the summer of '95
he's going to die
you know her name
sits in your brain
like a tumor
eyes still shine in your memory
she's going to die
well you can carry that grudge
or you can let it go
but as sure as I'm singing this song, you know
she's going to die, she's going to die
five'll get you ten so just let it go
that she and he and i will hear the final chord
