The three musicians Joseph Wasswa, Antonino Secchia and Christoph Lehner present a selection of African fairy tales put together by Nelson Mandela in their project The Whisperings of the Marula Tree. Throughout his life Nelson Mandela had collected popular tales from the African continent and published them in a renowned collection. Many of these stories revolve around the topics change, transformation and healing and feature protagonists willing to overcome obstacles and encumbrances. With the help of music, sound and rhythm the three musicians create a vivid image of the selected texts and let the audience plunge into the universal tales of personal growth and heartfelt transformation.
