Parents' Choice Recommended Award Winner!
Based on a
folktale from West Africa, this award-winning DVD, adapted and visually
enhanced from the book “The Lion’s Drum,” captures the color and
imagery of Africa in an enjoyable, magical story about how the drum
came to be. In this tale, a young African hunter discovers a lion
playing a magical tree stump. When he tells the chief and people of his
village what he has seen and heard, they don't believe him. But Ajani
is determined to prove he didn’t lose his senses.
In addition to
Ajani’s amazing journey, this video features live performances by Papa
Malick Faye, a renowned, traditional drummer from Senegal, Africa,
Akayaa Atule, a master dancer from Ghana, and footage of real lions in
their natural habitat.
