The Beautiful Girl of the Moon Tower

Ahoy, my friends! Welcome aboard the Afro Tales podcast. Join your Griot, Amon Mazingo, as we navigate through two enchanting tales steeped in the rich traditions of Indigenous and African descendant cultures. In our first story, "TWolf & Birds & the Fish-Horse," we follow a wolf who, tricked by his nephew, finds himself at a dance instead of a feast. He learns a valuable lesson about humility and gratitude. Next, in "The Beautiful Girl of the Moon Tower," we meet Anton, who embarks on a quest to win the heart of a girl he dreams about, only to face challenges that test his resolve and morality. With themes of wit, love, and the consequences of one's actions, these stories remind us of the intricate tapestry of our shared folklore.
