EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a unique fusion of Scottish and African traditions during a ngoma music and dance festival in Mombasa, Kenya, East Africa, in the 1920s. The natives, dressed in kilts and tartans, proudly display their Scottish heritage amidst the vibrant rhythms and colors of the African ngoma celebration. The Scottish community in Kenya, many of whom were settlers, brought their cultural traditions with them, and this image showcases the remarkable way these customs melded with the local African culture. The ngoma festival, a significant part of African traditional life, was an opportunity for people to come together, connect, and celebrate their shared humanity. This photograph, taken in 1924, offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich cultural tapestry of Mombasa during the 1920s, a time when diverse communities came together to create something new and beautiful from their shared experiences. The On Call in Africa Collection, from which this image is sourced, is a testament to the depth and complexity of African history and the enduring power of cultural exchange.
