Alpha King is a vibrant barbershop in the heart of Kasarani, a bustling district in Nairobi, Kenya, owned by a Congolese refugee. It serves as a sanctuary for many refugees in the neighborhood seeking a fresh haircut.
The hum of the clippers fills the air as skilled refugee barbers meticulously groom their clients. Outside, a lengthy queue snakes along the sidewalk, filled with eager clients awaiting their turn. In the background, the rhythm of Rumba Music drifts through the air, captivating those gathered. Koffi Olomide's melodic voice, a beacon of Congolese culture, resonates from speakers, uniting the crowd in song and dance.
For many Congolese refugees in the city, visiting Alpha King is more than just a grooming session—it's a cherished ritual. Here, they find solace in connecting with their cultural roots, embracing their Congolese identity in the company of fellow compatriots, amidst the backdrop of bustling Nairobi life.
Recorded by Marie Godin and Bahati Ghislain.
