WAKA WAKA: Observations on Contemporary African Life, Culture & Landscape
WAKA WAKA is an intimate and visually striking documentation of Africa’s evolution by Ernest Danjuma Enebi over two decades of travel across the continent. Through over 300 evocative images captured on an iPhone and enriched by deeply personal reflections, Danjuma offers a fresh, insider’s perspective on a continent that is often misunderstood.
The book moves beyond the traditional western gaze to illuminate Africa's vibrancy, complexity, and resilience—from the bustling markets of Lagos to the meditative calm of Lamu, from post revolution Khartoum to the artistic pulse of Dakar. It is a celebration of Africa in motion and a call to preserve fleeting moments of cultural transformation.
