Lucy Oyubo radiates this easiness and would like to take you through this journey with her.

SWAHILI CULTURAL EVENT

The Swahili Cultural Association Basel was brought to life since the end of 2019 to ensure a cultural exchange between East Africa and Switzerland. We would like to positively introduce the people and the countries in which the Swahili culture is practised to the inhabitants of Switzerland and its surrounding area.

Swahili is a common language in Africa and is spoken by several countries. Its is also one of the main languages at the European Union. About 120 million people speak Swahili. The language is actually reality called Kiswahili in reality but we will keep naming it Swahili because it is the common term. The people speaking Kiswahili are called the Waswahili natives.

The Swahili Association is organising an event on 28.03. 2020 to showcase this beautiful Culture and you are all welcome. There will be dancing, cooking, singing, eating, watching films, listening to poems etc. The programme is underway. Do not miss.

Our guest Ayub Matumbo (Swahili journalist) lives in Rome / Italy
