keeping track of african and africa-related culture in the media (film, photography, television, and print)

the story of zeng he

Posted: April 10th, 2005 | Author: kamau | Filed under: film | Comments Off

a chinese production company is currently in kenya filming a documentary on the chinese explorer zeng he who landed on the east african coast about 600 years ago.

new to me: there are a number of kenyans with chinese ancestry the result of intermarriage between the local bajunis and the chinese explorers. the history of the east african coast is endlessly fascinating.
