Situated at the geographical heart of the African continent,Uganda has long been a cultural melting pot, as evidenced by the existence of 30 plus different indigenous languages belonging to five distinct linguistic groups, and an equally diverse cultural mosaic of music art and handcrafts.
The country’s most ancient inhabitants, confined to the hilly southwest, are the Batwa and Bambuti pygmies, relics of the hunter gatherer cultures that once occupied much of East Africa to leave behind a rich legacy of rock paintings, such as at the Nyero Rock shelter near Kumi.
At the cultural core of modern day Uganda lie the Bantu speaking kingdoms of Buganda, Bunyoro, Ankole and Toro whose traditional monarchs reinstated in the 1990s after having been abolished by president Milton Obote in 1987 still serve as important cultural figure heads. According to oral tradition, these centuries old kingdoms are off shoots of the mediaeval kingdoms of Batembuzi and Bachwezi, which lay in the vicinity of present day Mubende and Ntusi, where archaeological evidence suggests that a strongly centralized polity had emerged by the 11<sup>th</sup> century. Three former kings of Buganda are buried in an impressive traditional thatched building at the Kasubi Tomb in Kampala.
Else where, Uganda’s culture diversity is boosted in the northwest by the presence of the Karimojong, traditional pastoralists whose lifestyle and culture is reminiscent of the renowned Maasai and in the northwest by a patchwork of agricultural peoples whose Nilotic languages and cultures are rooted in what is now Sudan. The Rwenzori foothills are home to the hardly Bakonjo, whose hunting shrines are dedicated to a one legged, one armed, one eyed, pipe smoking spirit known as Kalisa, while the Bagisu of the mount Elgon are known for their colourfulI Imbalu ceremony, an individual initiation to manhood that peaks in activity in and around August of every even numbered year.
