Back to topic: this Wiki- link is interesting information. Then mojo is some kind of voodoo article ? The list of songs from blues to Steely Dan and the list of English words from African origin are nice to look through. I have an African (Congo)foster son, who's mother(also here in the country) often prepared African dinners. One of the favored ingredients was ngombo (gumbo)
My foster son's name: Ngoma Mbambi. According to his father Mbambi indeed means 'deer'. Has Walt Disney (or who is the writer of the story?) directly taken this from the African language?
I also noticed the word buckra ,which much have changed to bakra in Surinam's papiamento. Bakra meaning 'white man'/ ''white skin'.
