Film screening of "Wahenga" followed by a discussion - Open Monument Day
On September 13 and 14, 2025, the association Salon International e.V. and the B-Movie St.Pauli invite you to a special weekend. As part of the nationwide Open Monument Day, which has the motto "Valuable: priceless or irreplaceable?", three guided tours will be offered on September 14, 2025 through the so-called Tanzania Park. These guided tours offer the opportunity to discover and reflect on the historical and cultural traces of the park.
As a special highlight, a film screening will take place on 13.09.2025 at 19:45, inviting people to discuss the past and present together.
To the movie:
Wahenga' follows John Kitime, a Tanzanian musician now in his 60s, as he sets out on a mission to put together an all-star band from the old days to revive the classic Tanzanian sound. Along the way, he meets the people who played key roles in the music scene of Tanzania during the struggle for independence and the nation's formative years under the first president, Julius K. Nyerere. As John plays with the band, spends time with musicians, and digitizes reel-to-reel tapes from the 1960s and 70s, he reveals a fascinating and little-known story about the power of music to bring together a people and a nation.
