Lele people

The Lele (or Leele), also known as Bashilele or Usilele, are a Bantu ethnic group closely related to the Kuba people in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.[1] They traditionally live in the Kasai River region,[2] but since the 1950s many have migrated to Kinshasa.[3] There are currently about 30,000 Lele, of which 26,000 speak the Lele language.[4]
