About the Tribe
The Chichewa tribe, also known as the Chewa, is a Bantu-speaking ethnic group found primarily in Malawi, eastern Zambia, and northern Mozambique. Known for their rich cultural heritage, the Chichewa are recognized for their traditional music, dance (notably the Gule Wamkulu), and matrilineal social structure. Their language, Chichewa (or Nyanja), is one of the most widely spoken languages in the region and serves as a national language in Malawi. The Chichewa people have a long history of agricultural practices, communal life, and artistic expression, playing a vital role in the cultural and social fabric of Southern Africa.
