Where gumbo comes from (5)

I believe the answer is:

bantu

(Other definitions for bantu that I've seen before include "Group of Niger-Congo languages" , "Niger-Congo language" , "Central and southern African native" , "A language and people of Africa" , "Zulu, Swahili etc" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
