The
European Union (EU) and the African, Caribbean, Pacific (ACP) Countries have been negotiating an Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) since 2008. In the already agreed text of this new free trading agreement, each East African Country is required to open up 82.6% of its market.
When Kenya’s President Kenyatta refused to sign the agreement, the EU imposed tariffs that placed a severe strain on Kenya’s cut flowers and beans and forced President Kenyatta to acquiesce to the agreement. Sven Kacirek, Daniel Muhuni and Agnieszka Krzeminska recorded several interviews about this issue with small-scale farmers, economists and politicians in Kenya; and are now in the process of turning those interviews into music.
„Economic Partnership Agreement“ (LP/ mp3) will be
released on Pingipung Records in November 2017. This project is supported by the International Coproduction Fund of the Goethe-Institut
