Shanga, a new Kenyan TV series is set to premiere on 25th April. It features Brahim Ouma who is renowned for his role in the ‘Pepeta’ and Foi Wambui who is recognized for her role in ‘Salem’
Shanga follows the story of Soilan, a Maasai girl. When Naibei forcefully claims her as his bride, Soilan bravely stands up to him, sending shockwaves through the village. This defiance leads to a confrontation at the Eunoto ceremony – a significant Maasai rite of passage where young men have their hair shaved, symbolizing their transition to adulthood – between Naibei and the renowned Maasai Moran named Ledama.
The story follows three main characters who, amidst pursuing their dreams, find themselves entangled in a love triangle. Their aspirations and challenges are vividly depicted in this rags-to-riches narrative, richly intertwined with fashion, culture, color, and vibrancy. The Maasai culture and its 'nuances’ play a significant role in the storyline.
The new series will replace 'Salem' and weekdays on Maisha Magic Plus.
