Zambia's entertainment culture is most vivid in its traditional ceremony circuit. The Kuomboka ceremony of the Lozi people — when the Litunga moves his court by decorated royal barge from the flooded Barotse floodplain to higher ground, accompanied by the royal Nalikwanda barge and the sounds of the royal drums (maoma) — is one of Africa's most visually powerful living royal traditions and a specific entertainment experience for the communities that maintain it. The Kulamba ceremony of the Chewa, the Likumbi Lya Mize of the Luvale, and the N'cwala first-fruits ceremony of the Ngoni each produce distinct music, costume, and performance traditions on an annual ceremonial calendar. Lusaka's live music scene, the Zambia Music Awards, and the Livingstone International Cultural and Arts Festival add contemporary and formal entertainment registers.
