Abstract

Between 1971 and 1982 a mythological character from the southern region of Angola marked the ethnography, literature and cinema produced in Angolan territory.The study of this character called Nambalisita aims to demonstrate the geographic, historical and temporal levels in which the character is situated, and to identify the structurally intact traits in their mythic symbology, and the variations that distinguish them in the forms as represented in the different languages adopted, especially in the period that marked the post-independence in Angola.
