My favourite video Kenyan brotherhood

My favourite video Kenyan brotherhood

I grew up a good part here. All the places are so familiar to me and I speak Swahili.
I own a house but have been trapped on the UK due to illness which h rules out travel.
Should be good to proceed in two years.
Voodoo? That's a Haitian word. Sihiri, mganga or uchawi are Swahili.

Who else feels this story about Kenya is told differently? No biasness of speaking of corruption, violence as if Kenya is unique for corruption and violence...forgetting we there is shooting each day in the western world... Let alone homelessness

Wow I'm so captivated by David Adams documentaries. Feel like I was on the journey too. Makes me want to pack my bags and go on a lifetime of adventures

My new favorite show ! These docos are awesome!

Very nice documentary

''Lateen sails'', was a technology adopted by the Swahili and Arabs from the Byzantines that operated in the area. These sails were revolutionary in that it allowed the ships to gain propulsion even when sailing upwind. Go Byzantines.

The documentary is great.

He paid $32 for the dhow trip. Thats so sad. He should have paid $3,200.

You're the best

idk bout you...but a crazy screaming black man wearing sheep wool and mixing his blood and water as a medicine to cure woman of doing a fake demonic dance isnt uhhhhh....isnt gonna work.

Oh my God this is so interesting, amazing history. The people you will meet in your life are pictured here 😂. Kerpini not depini as we know of it. 😅 Is this the face of the British crown King Edward,second in line for the british throne ?

I love the docs of David Adams. Him, the fantastic footage, I thank you.

brilliant. what a great adventure and learning experience. i gotta brighten up my own life!

that voodoo village reveals to me why i went to so many raves. i thought it was healing too.

When was the last time you danced for joy with your workmates?!! Not a bad life these Dow sailors have. May they be well wherever they be.

Outstanding!

Met some guys restoring a beached ship on the Irriwaddy near Pagan, Burma. Probably 90 feet, made entirely of teak. They lived on it, and tbh didn't seem to be in much of a hurry. Lol...

Very cool. As a sailor and a mzungo i really enjoyed that. A simple way of life is the best
