Experience the Magic of Africa with African Folktales, Reimagined! allafrica: Africa
African folktales are traditional stories passed down from generation to generation. These stories usually feature animals, spirits, and humans, and are often used to teach moral lessons, explain natural phenomena, and pass on cultural traditions and values. They provide a sense of identity and community.
In recent years, many African writers and storytellers have reimagined these folktales, updating them to reflect modern sensibilities and contemporary issues. This reimagining has helped to preserve and celebrate African cultural heritage while also making it relevant to modern audiences. Six storytellers from a new generation came together to reimagine and retell tales as old as time from across the African continent.
