EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of the Ngoma tradition, a vibrant and integral part of the cultural heritage of Mombasa, Kenya, in East Africa. Dating back to the late 1920s, this image showcases a group of costumed dancers immersed in the rhythmic beats and hypnotic melodies of the ngoma music and dance festival. The ngoma, a Swahili word meaning 'drum,' is an ancient communal event that brings together the diverse communities of Mombasa to celebrate life, unity, and the power of music and dance. The dancers, adorned in colorful and intricately designed costumes, move in perfect harmony with the pulsating rhythms, their bodies expressing the raw energy and emotion of the music. The rich cultural traditions of Mombasa, Kenya, are beautifully represented in this photograph. The ngoma festival, a testament to the resilience and creativity of the African people, continues to be celebrated to this day, attracting both locals and tourists alike. This image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when music and dance were the universal languages that brought people together, transcending boundaries and uniting communities. The On Call in Africa Collection, housed at Mary Evans Picture Library, is a treasure trove of historical images that offer valuable insights into the diverse and complex history of Africa. This photograph, in particular, is a testament to the enduring power of tradition and the importance of preserving and celebrating our cultural heritage.
