We also take you to discover one of the oldest cities in East Africa which is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites: Lamu in Kenya.
This former trading port has existed for 700 years.
Its architecture mixes Swahili, Arabic, Indian and European influences.
Visitors who are lucky enough to go there have the impression of going back in time when they walk through its alleys.
We are also talking about intangible heritage, with the recent inscription of a music that makes the whole continent dance and beyond: the Congolese Rumba.
A recognition that aroused a lot of joy and pride on both banks of the Congo River.
The file was presented by Kinshasa and Brazzaville.
