TheLuba people, orBaluba, are one of theBantu peoplesofCentral Africa, and a major ethnic group found in the south-central parts of theDemocratic Republic of the Congo.[2]They are widely distributed in this country, but are most concentrated in itsKatanga,Kasai, andManiemaprovinces. The Luba people consist of many sub-groups with distinct Luba language dialects, of which three are main: theLuba-Kasai,Luba-Katanga, andSwahililanguages.

The Luba people founded an ancient culture by about the 5th century, and later a well organized, pre-colonialKingdom of Lubain theUpemba Depressionregion of Central Africa.They had developed the knowledge and means to extracts various metals from the rich mineral resources close to them, as well as the skills in wood carving, pottery, sophisticated metal objects, artwork and jewelry.Their success and wealth grew in relative isolation given their forested mountainous inland location, then attracted traders, raids and wars in second half of the 19th century.The Luba people were a victim of the slave and trade, both to the Atlantic coast by Portuguese slave traders, as well as to the East African coast by Swahili-Arab slave traders particularly in the 19th-century.
