Baobab Tree

The animals in the forest are hungry and thirsty. Hare knows of a magical tree that will give them food and water but can they find out the name of this special tree?

The forest animals are hungry and thirsty. Hare tells them of a magical tree that can give them food and water but they can't remember the name of the tree! They decide to ask the Wise Owl who lives at the top of the mountain but it's a long and trecherous journey to the top. Will they be able to remember the magical words as they make their way back down to their friends in the forest?

Musicians from the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Philharmonic are joined by storyteller Jan Blake and multi-instrumentalist Sidiki DembΓ©lΓ© to share this beautiful, traditional tale from West Africa.
