A Bantu ethnic group of Central Africa, primarily found in the Democratic Republic of Congo and neighboring regions.
From Bantu languages of Central Africa, with 'Ba-' as a plural prefix and 'Songo' as the ethnic designation.
The Basongo are part of Congo's incredible ethnic mosaic—the DRC contains over 200 ethnic groups, making it arguably the most ethnically diverse nation on Earth, which is why studying African anthropology reveals more about human variation than textbooks suggest.
