Chamakanda - An African Storytelling Tale from Zimbabwe

It is National Storytelling Week this week here in the UK. One of my favourite African stories is Chamakanda, a tale from Zimbabwe which I came to know through my dear friend Peta Axelsson, narrated by the late mbira ethnomusicologist Ephat Mujuru. Happy National Storytelling Week!

About National Storytelling Week

The Society for Storytelling was founded in 1993 to support and promote storytelling in England and Wales. It provides a central place to find out about storytelling events, to ask for advice on using storytelling, about workshops to help you find your individual voice as a new storyteller and it is also the place to find other storytellers.

National Storytelling Week is an annual celebration of storytelling in the UK.
