"Kumbaya"

The word "Kumbaya" comes from the Gullah people.  Some people think that "Kumbaya my Lord" is a song from Angola. But this is not true, the song originates from the Gullah people. An English professor heard the Gullah people singing the song and copied it on paper and then Americans took it to Angola. And now some people think that the song "Kumbaya my Lord" is from Angola.
