By blending with the Bantu elements and cultures of Kenya, Arabs founded the
independent states of Mombasa, Malindi, and Zanzibar on the coast in the tenth
century. Mombasa was a major thriving port by the 15th century. Over the course
4. of the next 300 years, Arab traders sold 90% of the natives of the Swahili coast as
slaves, mostly to Europeans.

In 1890, the Imperial British East Africa company seized control of Kenya and
started building railways with the help of Indian laborers, many of whom later
settled in Africa. The first reserves were created as a result of local resistance in
order to keep difficult tribes out of the way. The highlands of the interior were
made by European coffee and tea farmers who became wealthy and drove out
the original natives. By 1930, there were about 30,000 white settlers living there.
5. British police detain Kenyans suspected of Mau Mau involvement.

When her father passed away in 1952, Queen Elizabeth II was on vacation in
Kenya. From that year until 1959, the Mau Mau rebellion against British rule
persisted. However, that year, the African Loyalist Home Guard launched an
offensive that resulted in over 4,000 deaths and the expulsion of many
supporters. Land grants were given to the loyal Africans.

In elections held in 1957, the Kenya African National Union (KANU) came to
power. The creation of a new constitution led to the country’s independence at
the end of 1963 and war raged against factions that wanted to join Somalia. Since
Jomo Kenyatta, the country’s first elected president passed away in 1978, Daniel
Arap Moi was elected president three times under a single-party system until
1998. Mwai Kibai of the National Rainbow Coalition (NARC) was elected president
in 2003 in what was widely regarded as a free and fair election.

Kenya is a multilingual country. 62 languages are spoken in the nation, despite
the fact that Swahili and English are their official languages. The cultures of Kenya
are influenced by different languages.
Tribal African languages make up the majority of these, with a small number of
Middle Eastern and Asian languages spoken by foreign settlers (i.e. Arabic, Hindi,
etc.). The three language families that make up African languages are Bantu
(spoken in the center and southeast), Nilotic (spoken in the west), and Cushitic (in
the northeast).

translates to “no problem/worries” and appears in the well-known Disney
film “The Lion King.”
8. The Culturally Diverse Architecture
Around 70% of the population lives in rural areas, though this number has
been falling as more Kenyans move to the cities for work. The majority of
people who reside in cities do so in either Nairobi or Mombasa.

Mombasa, the second-largest city in the nation and the main port, is situated on
the southern coast. With roots in the first Arab colonists, Mombasa has a large
Muslim population. The Portuguese first settled in the area in 1593 and today

under UNESCO. The trading culture of Mombasa is reflected in the architecture of
the Old Town, where there are numerous examples of Islamic and Portuguese
architecture. Mombasa is a shining example of the diverse cultures of Kenya.
The majority of people in cities reside in contemporary apartments. The typical
housing designs in the countryside differ from tribe to tribe. In contrast to the
rundi houses, which resemble beehives and are made of reed and bark, the
chagga houses are made of sticks, and the nyamwezi are round huts with
thatched roofs.
10. A Flavorful Journey
Sweet Potato and Pea Recipe (Irio) is a classic Kenyan dish.
Image credit
Swahili cuisine is rich in spices and flavors of coconut, cardamom, garlic, saffron,
turmeric, and pilau masala due to Arabic and Persian influences. For Kenyans,
corn or maize is a staple food. It is made into flour and cooked as the porridge
called posho. It is occasionally combined with mashed potatoes, vegetables, and
beans to create the dish Irio. Mboga or boiled greens, and matoke or banana
porridge are typical side dishes.
Popular Swahili dishes also include biriani, mseto, haluwa, kaimati,
mahamri, pilau and boko boko.
11. Tea with milk and sugar is a popular beverage. Another widely consumed
beverage, particularly in Mombasa, is palm wine. The majority of the beer
consumed in Kenya is made by local breweries. Uki is the name of a unique type
of honey-based brew.
Kachori is a popular snack that originated from India but the Kenyan version is
amazing.
Image credit
Not just Swahili food but Indian food also has an impact on the cultures of Kenya.
Mombasa is well-known for its Indian cuisine, which includes curries, kachoris,
samosas, and chapatti, a fried bread that was brought by many immigrants from
the subcontinent. Corn on the cob, mandazi (fried dough), potato chips, and
peanuts are some famous Indian snacks in Mombasa.

in separate groups. Male dancers often compete to see who can jump the highest

include dance. Both costumes and props are essential components of many
traditional dances. Dancers often wear masks and carry shields, swords, and other
objects.

The majority of people wear Western-style clothing in urban areas like Mombasa.
But the cultures of Kenya lie in their traditional tribal attire.

messages.

Many women dress in vibrant kangas, a large piece of fabric that can be worn as
a skirt or shawl and is frequently accessorized with head scarves. The Luo and the
Kikuyu are two ethnic groups that have embraced Western culture more readily
than others. Women of northern nomadic tribes wear Gorfa, sheepskin, or
14. goatskin that has been dyed red or black and is wrapped around the body,
keeping it in place with a leather cord and a rope belt.

Some ethnic groups, like the Rendille, believe that a woman’s hairstyle reveals her
marital status and the presence or absence of children. A man’s life stage can be
determined by the headdress or jewelry he is wearing. The Turkana Pokot and
Maasai women wear so many strands of beaded necklaces that it elongates their
necks. These customs are signs of social and marital status in Kenyan society.
15. The Art Scene
Ngugi Wa Thiong’o is a globally acclaimed Kenyan writer.

Fables, stories, music, and poetry are all deeply ingrained in the cultures of Kenya.
Ngugi Wa Thiong’o, a renowned Kikuyu author, published some exquisite works
in English, including the award-winning “Weep not, Child” (1964) and “A Grain of
Wheat” (1967). The oral and written tradition of inspiring and meaningful fables is
quite amusing. The Hare is one such example of a folklore hero that inspires
fights for independence despite being weak.
16. Wood carving in Kenya.

Kenya is renowned for its wood carving and sculpture, much of which have
religious significance. Ancestral statues and the intricately carved amulets worn
around the necks of Kenyans are both thought to appease the spirits of the
afterlife. Sculptors also work with ivory and gold in addition to wood. Modern
sculptors frequently combine more traditional and modern aesthetics.
18. Other modern globally acclaimed African artists include Osborne Macharia
and Cyrus Kabiru.

resemble birds or other animals, are also the work of artists. Jewelry, which
includes elaborate silver and gold bracelets and various kinds of vibrant
beadwork, is another form of art in Kenya. Women make pottery and elaborately
decorated baskets in some tribes, such as the Kikuyu and the Luhya.

Roman Catholics make up 28% of Kenya’s population, compared to Protestants
who make up 38%. 26% of people identify as animists, 7% as Muslims, and 1% as
practicing another religion. The Kikuyu other groups worship the god Ngai, who
is said to live on top of Mount Kenya. As Mombasa has a majority of Christian
and Muslim population, it has beautiful religious sites like Burhani Mosque, Azhar
Mosque, Mombasa Memorial Cathedral, Shiva Temple, Holy Ghost Roman
Cathedral, Jain Temple, and many more.

Traditional religions hold the belief that diviners have the ability to communicate
with the spirit world and can use this ability to heal people of illnesses or evil
spirits. In times of drought, diviners are also asked to help bring rain. Witches and
sorcerers are also thought to possess supernatural abilities, but in contrast to
diviners, they use these abilities to harm others. The diviners’ task is to counteract
their negative effects.
21. Boys and girls go through different rituals before they are deemed of
marriageable age. Like Kikuyu boys are initiated at the age of eighteen. They have
pierced ears, buzzed hair, and white earth tattoos on their faces. Twelve-year-old
Pokot girls are initiated in a ceremony that involves singing, dancing, and body
art made of ocher, red clay, and animal fat.
Everywhere in the nation, weddings are significant events that are marked
by up to eight days of special music, dance, and food.
Kenyans hold the view that after passing away, one enters the spirit world, which
has a significant impact on the physical world. Children are viewed as the
manifestation of a family’s ancestors’ souls by many Kenyans who practice
reincarnation.

Kenya.
