This traditional Ashanti Folk Tale from Ghana features songs, live drumming, puppets, dressing up and lots of fun for all the family.
About the story:
Osebo the Leopard has the biggest and loudest drum in the whole of the rain forest. He is the envy of all the other animals but the only problem is that he won’t let anyone else have a go on his drum not even Nyame the Sky God.
