ANANSI AND OTHER SUCH STORIES

We do not really mean that what we’re about to say is true.
A story, a story; let it come, let it go.

Kwami invites you to a chilled night of storytelling. Combining the Ghanaian folktales called Anansi stories and stories from his own life. It should be a lot of fun. There’ll be drums, stories, laughs and more. Kwami wants you to kick back, relax and let him take you on a journey. It'd be a shame if someone were to ruin it...
