Imbangala
The Imbangala or Mbangala were 17th century groups of Angolan warriors and marauders who founded the Kasanje Kingdom.
==Origins of the Imbangala==
The Imbangala were people, possibly from Central Africa, that appeared on the scene in Angola during the early 17th century. The origins of the people are still debated. It is generally agreed upon that they were not the same Jagas that attacked the Kingdom of Kongo during the reign of Alvaro I.
In the 1960s, it was proposed that oral traditions of the Lunda Empire suggested that both groups of Jaga marauders originated in the Lunda Empire and had fled it during the 17th century. Another theory is that the Imbangala were a local people of southern Angola originating from the Bie Plateau or the coastal regions west of the highlands.
The first witness account of the Imbangala, written by an English sailor named Andrew Battell, who lived with them for 16 months in around 1600–1601, places them firmly in the coastal regions and highlands of modern Angola, just south of the Kwanza River. Their leaders told Battell that they had come from a place called "Elembe" and that they had originated from a "page" in its army. Battell's story was published by Samuel Purchas partially in 1614 and fully in 1625.
