The Masai are the most famous African tribe living in the savannah in southern Kenya and northern Tanzania. It is famous not only for the ferocious disposition of local warriors, but also for their rather peaceful addiction to cultural entertainment. Recently, young people of this tribe have assembled a team to play … cricket! The fearless Maasai loved the traditional English fun!
The players of this team have many ambitions: men promote healthy lifestyles, strive to draw public attention to the problem of HIV / AIDS, talk about the problems of women and, of course, try to be role models in their tribe. The Maasai warriors are accustomed to achieving perfection in everything, therefore they approach the game process with all responsibility. They have already achieved good results: there was an opportunity to move from their native village to the city of Mombasa and attend a cricket school. The further goal is to participate in the “Last Man Stands” Cricket World Championship, which takes place every 4 years! The team has already received an invitation to the game, now it is necessary to find a sponsor willing to pay for the trip!
Nissan team captain Jonathan Ole Meshami is a true professional in cricket! He mastered the art of javelin throwing and throwing stones over long distances at an early age, when he helped his parents to graze goats and sheep. These skills help a lot in the game!
The strength and endurance of the Masai can also be judged by the fact that, according to tradition, only the young man who can kill the lion becomes a warrior. The inhabitants of this tribe divide each year into two parts: the time of abundance during the rainy season and the time of famine. The Masai greet the changing seasons with jumping dances, during which the warriors demonstrate their strength and dexterity!
Africa really knows how to delight and surprise! German photographer Hans Sylvester managed to create a series of photographs about real women of fashion from the East African tribes of Surma and Mursi, whose images are dictated by nature itself!
