🌍🎶 Welcome to Min-On’s Music Journey!

🇰🇪🎉 Today, December 12, is Kenya’s National Day! 🎉🇰🇪

Today we’re traveling to the Republic of Kenya, located on the equator in East Africa, together with the Embassy of the Republic of Kenya in Japan. 🇰🇪✈️

Kenya’s official languages are English and Swahili, and an important Swahili word cherished by the people is Harambee, meaning “pulling together.” 🤝

With rapid urbanization, Kenya’s music scene has become increasingly modern and international. At the same time, its multiethnic identity sustains a rich variety of traditional musical cultures. 🎵✨

Kenya also has a range of distinctive percussion and string instruments, some of which are preserved in the Min-On Music Museum, including the Adeudeu, a harp-like instrument, the Nyatiti, an eight-stringed plucked bowl yoke lute, and the Kihembe Ngoma, an animal-skin drum. 🪕🥁

Our journey also features the music groups and artists the Kenya National Dancers and Drummers, the Mungano National Choir, Joseph Kamaru, Fernando Anuang’a, Sauti Sol and the Kenyan Boys Choi. 🌟

We hope you enjoy your music journey to Kenya! 🌍🎧
Please look forward to our next destination. ✨
