Swahilistyle
Swahilistyle refers to a distinct aesthetic and cultural expression emerging from East Africa, particularly influenced by Swahili culture. This style encompasses a wide range of elements, including fashion, music, art, and design, reflecting a fusion of traditional African, Arab, and European influences. In fashion, Swahilistyle often features vibrant textiles, such as kanga and kitenge, characterized by bold patterns and rich colors. Garments can range from flowing dresses and skirts to more tailored pieces, often incorporating traditional silhouettes with modern adaptations.
Music is another significant component of Swahilistyle, with genres like Bongo Flava from Tanzania and Taarab
