Afro-Mexicans proudly share the story of “El Yanga,” apparently an enslaved prince from the Yang-Bara tribe from Gabon, who helped slaves to be free from the Spanish around 1570. 
Waafrika-Wa-Kimexico wanajivunia kuwa sehemu ya simulizi ya “El Yanga,” aliyejulikana dhahiri kama Mfalme aliyekuwa mateka kutoka katika kabila la Yang-Bara la Gabon, ambaye aliwasaidia watumwa kuwa huru kutoka kwa Waspaniola kwenye miaka ya 1570.
