About
The Italian Cultural Institute of Nairobi, in collaboration with the National Museums of Kenya and with the support of the Embassy of Italy, launched in 2016 two projects in the field of Archeology, with the aim of engaging Italian excellence in Archeology and Cultural Heritage Management, to preserve and enhance Kenya’s historical and cultural heritage, as part of the actions to promote the development of sustainable tourism and in collaboration with the competent Kenyan Institutions.

In the first phase of project implementation – January and March 2016 – surveys were made in the areas concerned, and in particular:

a. Turkana Region / Rocky Paintings: Surveys at the sites of Loiyangalani (southwest) and Lokori (along the Kerio River) coordinated by Prof. Savino Di Lernia (University of Rome-La Sapienza) carried out in collaboration with the National Museum of Kenya;

b. Malindi / Mombasa Coast: Terrestrial Survey of Prof. Sebastiano Tusa, in collaboration with the National Museum of Malindi, in the areas facing the most significant underwater archaeological sites, in order to identify the possible location of a future marine archaeological park.

PRESENTATION
“Viva V.E.R.D.I.”, the slogan of the unification movement of which initials stand for Vittorio Emanuele Re d’Italia (Vittorio Emanuele King of Italy) is certainly the most authentic, emblematic and vital expression of the Italian Risorgimento and a confirmation of how much the Opera has contributed to exalt, like a vibrant soundtrack, the popular and patriotic reawakening that led to the Unification of Italy in 1861.
As already wished for by Mazzini in “La filosofia della musica” (1836), the historical moment demanded great effort and political commitment, but also and above all it necessitated a new moral and spiritual conscience towards the affirmation of the ideals of freedom that the evocative power of music could really sublimate and propagate.
Giuseppe Verdi was the most sensible and attentive exponent, fully capturing the essential need for unanimous popular solidarity and who, launching his personal challenge without hesitation on the battlefield, contributed decisively to the definition of our cultural identity.

The II EDITION of the “Malindi Music Festival for Children” will be held in Malindi on February 19th, after the last year big success. The festival will take place at The Old Sinbad Hotel on a 5.000 m2 land along Lamu Road, near the Casino’ of Malindi and the beach.

The Festival is the expression of a joint effort from both the local community and the tourism sector to develop a better and protective environment for the Children and to promote a responsible tourism on the Kenyan Coast. The Festival intends to spread positive messages and involve the private and tourism sectors in the “Malindi for Education” Campaign which intends to promote interventions to increase access to education for the children, especially in the rural areas, and to sensitize and inform the local community on the importance of Early Childhood Development Education.

The Festival is a celebration of both local culture and the ethnical diversity. It will showcase a multicultural blend of musical talent including progressive Italian drumming star Tony Esposito, and a long list of big name Kenyan celebrity acts as well as local talent. The Festival will create a meeting point for different cultures and an opportunity for exchange and mutual inter-cultural understanding. The Festival is supported by a large number of Malindi and Kenya wide based businesses.

Popular musicians, both from Kenya and Italy, will perform as special guests and as role models for the youth and the public.
