The Bakongo tribe resides in Lower Zaire, the southern part of Congo-Brazzaville and the northern part of Angola. The term mbuta (plural is bambuta) means "old" or "older than oneself." It is a term of respect. The aging intervene in all the important life situations: marriage, witchcraft, magic, native palavers, etc. They have the authority and represent the tribe. The mbuta is an ideal that everyone likes to realize. Although the youth subscribe to modern western ideas, they still unconsciously fear the authority and the power of the aging.
巴刚果部落居住在扎伊尔下游地区、刚果-布拉柴维尔南部以及安哥拉北部。“姆布塔”（复数形式为“班布塔”）一词意为“年长的”或“比自己年长的”。这是一个表示尊敬的称谓。年长者会介入所有重要的生活事务：婚姻、巫术、魔法、部落会谈等。他们拥有权威，代表着部落。姆布塔是每个人都希望实现的一种理想状态。尽管年轻人认同现代西方观念，但他们仍会下意识地敬畏年长者的权威和力量。
