Up close in Kenya

Ask an average Kenyan how many tribes there are in the country, and the answer will vary from between 40 and 45. If you count sub-groups, there are by some estimates about 70 different tribal groups. English is the national language of Kenya but Swahili is the most widely-spoken lingua franca, not just in this country but across East African nations like Uganda, Tanzania and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

In Kenya, languages like Luo, Kikuyu and Kikamba are also quite common, and local culture is kept alive through active involvement in arts, crafts, music and dance. In most popular game reserves and resorts, we encountered only one particular Masai performance.

But more plebian material was also used: television interviews with politicians, the intimate Internet sexting between a pair of online-only lovers, and the stories implied by a series of snapshots of weddings discovered on a cellphone in a New York taxi.
