VIMBUZA KING (SIR LINEUS) TO TAKE VIMBUZA DANCE TO ANOTHER LEVEL

When people hear about vimbuza, they recognise tumbuka tribe. It is true that decades have gone now since the tumbuka dance was developed as means of overcoming traumatic expriences of oppression and further developed as healing dance under British occupation, although it was forbidden by Christian missionaries in mid-nineteeth century.

The dance is no longer common and popular as it was in those days however vimbuza dance is still practised in rural areas where the Tumbuka live since for the tumbuka, vimbuza has artistic value and a therapeutic function that complements other forms of medical treatment.

"I am here to settle and establish the Vimbuza dance to other regions. Stop thinking that Vimbuza dance is satanic. We entertain, inform and educate through vimbuza," he said (sir lineus).

In description of his talent and plan, Sir Lineus expressed his love on the dance as follows:
"I am lomwe by tribe, I have stayes in Northern region for ten years now and tumbukas have entrusted me to represent the dance by crownming me as Vimbuza king." he added.
