The Mundang people are an ethnic group in West Africa who live in parts of Cameroon, Chad, and Nigeria.
[2] Historically, the Mundang were an agricultural people; in the beginning of the 20th century they grew and harvested peas, beans, potatoes, nuts and durra.
[3] Mundang people in Léré built mud houses with straight roofs and polished interior walls.
[4] Beyond the Mundang's folk music, the communities also have families of musicians called griots by western writers.
[5] One of these includes a modern performing act outside of Africa, Sona Jobarteh who acknowledges her Mundang heritage and sees its influence in the bluesy sound of her music.
