East Africa is a melting pot of beautiful art; a mix of inland traditions, with North African and Arab influences fused along the coast. Known for its Swahili culture, it's vibrant cross culture that emerged dating back to the ancient trade routes converging on ports like Mombasa, Zanzibar, Dar es Salam, and Maputo. Bringing the prints of the Bantu, a blend of indigenous and Arab music, great food, jewelry and dance all together! We're sharing this beautiful fusion here in Los Angeles- Welcome to Swahili Nation!
