Do These Words Derive From Any Languages In Naija? by Mambofiend: 7:20am On Jul 06, 2013
These are titles of old Cuban Rumba and Mambo music. I want to know if these words bear any resemblance to any of the languages spoken in Naija. Cuba imported thousands of slaves, and it's intriguing how many of words were kept alive after slavery in the New World dissipated.

Here are the words


Cumaye

Masango

Mayambe

Burandunga

Dundunbanza

Guaguanco
