Ganga Zumba

Ganga Zumba was the first of the leaders of Quilombo dos Palmares, or Angola Janga, in the presentday state of Alagoas, Brazil. Zumba was a slave who escaped bondage on a sugar plantation and assumed his destiny as heir to the kingdom of Palmares and the title Ganga Zumba. Although some Portuguese documents give him the name Ganga Zumba, and this name is widely used today, the most important of the documents translates the name as Great Lord, which is probably not correct. However, a letter written to him by the governor of Pernambuco in 1678 and now found in the Archives of the University of Coimbra, calls him Ganazumba, which is a better translation of Great Lord and thus was probably his name.
