Fumo Liyongo
Fumo Liyongo or Liongo was a Swahili chieftain on the northern part of the coast of East Africa somewhere between the 9th and 13th centuries.〔http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/news/dp/2011033001 "More than stuff of legend"〕 He is celebrated as a hero, warrior and poet in traditional poems, stories and songs of the Swahili people, many associated with wedding rituals and ''gungu'' dances. Liongo himself is credited with many such songs and poems. Oral tradition is generally coherent in describing Liongo as a king or prince of Pate Island. Several towns on the Tanzanian coast contend as Liongo's birthplace. He is supposed to be buried at Ozi.

Most of the literature on Liongo belongs to the oral tradition but a few songs about Liongo, in an archaic form of Swahili transcribed into the Arabic and Latin alphabets,〔(Liyongo Working Group: information on the manuscripts )〕 dating back to around the 13th century, provide valuable historical and anthropological data: they describe ancient wedding rituals, the role of palm wine in ancient Swahili society and gungu dances. Some narrate episodes from the hero's life, others are war hymns (for example, the ''Sifu Uta Wangu'' or "Song of the Warrior" in which Liongo celebrates the virtues of his bow). Liongo is often represented as a master of the art of archery, sometimes in terms very close to the Robin Hood tales. In one such story, a king organizes an archery tournament to lure Liongo into his court and seize him; yet Liongo manages to win the tournament and escape. Some of the best known texts from the Liongo corpus are ''Liongo na Mmanga'', ''Hadithi ya Liongo'', ''Sifu Uta Wangu''.
