Today in my Afrikan Freedom Fighters we discussed the term mocambo and read over a reference citing the Ambundu (Mbundu) people from present day Angola who were taken as captives to Bahia. Their self-emancipation taking place there and incorporation of the Kimbundu language in the term mu-kambo shows how much they impacted Bahia! Source: Maroon Societies pg. 205

In papiamentu, the language of the ABC islands in the Caribbean, we have a word called ‘macamba’. It is a word the natives use to identify Dutch people. As far as I have been told, a macama is a blood sucking leach that attaches itself to the skin of its host and lives off its blood. Ironic, huh…?
