In the KiSwahili language of East Africa and Central Africa "umgawa" means "entangled". But in 1932 MGM screenwriter Cyril Hume lifted the word "umgawa" from the Swahili language for the Tarzan movies. Those movies were being adapted from books written by Edgar Rice Burrough books.

In the Tarzan movies "ungawa" was the way that Tarzan communicated with animals and with Black people who lived in the near where Tarzan found himself. That word could mean whatever the screenwriters wanted it to mean.

Here's a video clip that provides information about the Hollywood origin of the Swahili word "umgawa":

UNCROWNED 

Model Edge Metal band from Atlanta, GA
"UNCROWNED have a slick sound, endorsement deals, and a potential monster hit...(Spin Magazine)"
Chances are, you have heard this band. They have been on the radio all across the nation, they have been on big stages with even bigger bands, and if you haven't seen the live show, you haven't experienced what rock and roll should (and they believe will) be all about. While many other bands have dumb ed down their lyrics, created music that only accomplishes a topical connection with fans, and, as a whole, falls short of moving the listener, UNCROWNED continues to push boundaries. They take chances both musically and lyrically with a result that creates a deep visceral connection with fans that is undeniable. uncrowned opens their souls to share the love and hate that they feel, to temp listeners to feel some of their pain and joy, and to re-experience the moments that they live and die for. Challenging yet accessible, deep but inviting, smart but heart felt....are you ready?
