Who they are
The Bube, also called Bubi, live on the island of Bioko in Equatorial Guinea, including the Malabo area. The island is their traditional homeland, where they once formed a kingdom. They speak a coastal Bantu language, and many also know Spanish and Krio, a language used for trade on Bioko. Catholicism spread during Spanish colonization. Most identify as Christians, but traditional religious practices also continue among them.
