Drumrolls please as we enter into the final part, Part 3 of the Wagadou Empire!

It is all VERY exciting as it's an AfriWetu first to have a Part 3, but really this Empire had to be the one, considering its importance then and now to our culture & history.

I hope you enjoy the last, yes last, episode on this wonder of our ancestor's story and civilisation!

As usual a HUGE thanks to Big City Studios for the production and making this sound good for you all!

Until next time

Mubarikiwe!

Afri-WATU!

It's Part 2 of this amazing and iconic Empire! Welcome back!

I don't think there is anything I can do to make this more exciting than it is, so why not just head over and tune in to meet the ancestors from the WAGADOU!

There is a little surprise at the end of the show, so keep it here till the outro :)

As usual a HUGE thanks to Big City Studios for the production and making this sound good for you all!

Until next time

Afri-WATU!

Welcome back to the journey to the past! We are meeting very special ancestors today as we go to the west of our continent to land in the WAGADOU Empire!

This has been on the wish list of civilisations to cover from the first year...it has only take four years, but the wait has been worth it. There was a great deal to cover and that means this is just Part 1 of this civilsation.

As usual a HUGE thanks to Big City Studios for the production and making this sound good for you all!

Until next time

Mubarikiwe!

Afri-WATU!!!!

Dropping another folklore just for you as we jump into the Anansi tales from the Akan people!

This was such fun to read and record & it was made so by the wonderful dulcet tones and incredible storytelling skills of our Guest Narrator, my dear friend Kevin Mwachiro. He did such a dope job (obviously) & I was so honoured to have him join the AfriWetu family allllllll the way from Kilifi...you can hear the sounds of the seashell echo even :)

Thank you Kevin! Afri-WATU make sure you also check out his podcast - NIPE STORY https://open.spotify.com/show/3iDGuiAtnxV4f0bN1Qeupv?si=8c5546555f9a4402- which features African stories from across the continent.

Once you listen in, let us know! (It should show you why he was the perfect fit to tell this folklore:).

As usual a BIG thank you to Big City Studios, and to you Afri-WATU for tuning in!

Until next time

Mubarikiwe!

UVORO AFRI-WATU!

Welcome to a Guest Narrator episode!

Today we celebrate a true African legend - Cierume! She was an amazing and fearless woman from the Embu people in Kenya.

Her fame and skills preceded her not only amongst her people BUT also in the region. She was awesome and so I could only have another awesome woman tell her story...Nimu!

A huge thanks to Nimu for doing justice to this legend and for such a fun time in studio! We have to do it again!

Thanks as always to Big City Studio for making us sound good and to 2ndtoNone Studio for letting us use your studio to record.

Until next time,

Mubarikiwe!

Zikomo Afri-WATU!

Thank you for tuning in for Part 2 of the Undi Kingdom! I do hope you enjoy meeting these ancestors and that you go and do your own deeper research! This may be the concluding episode, but it is far from the end of the story, there is so so so much more to discover about the Undi!

I would like to as usual say a huge ASANTE to Big City Studios for the production skills that make AfriWetu sound so dope and that help you glide through the history of our continent!

Until next time

Mubarikiwe!

Afri-WATU! IT'S EPISODE 7!

How exciting is it to bring you yet another great civilisation of the past, another story of our Ancestors. We have headed back to Southern Africa, to the lands of the rivers and lakes to meet the Undi Kingdom.

There was not enough time to do just one episode...so good news....this is Part 1 with Part 2 on its way to you! Double the fun!

As usual I would like to thank Big City Studios for the final production, and making this sound good.

Until next time

Mubarikiwe!

JAM WAALI AFRIWATU!!!!

It has been a loooooong while since we had a Fable/Folklore story for you right! So here is one pulled from the modern nation of Guinea, in West Africa!

The story covers alllllll the human dynamics of family, love, betrayal....

This also means it is a GUEST Narrator episode with a great friend of AfriWetu Ssagala! Ssagala is dope on many levels, and he is a creative with business savvy and one of his platforms is SawaSawa Tv https://sawasawastudios.com/campus-confessions this is the link to the latest piece of work which will air! I wish to say a very HUGE thank you to Ssagala for coming on the show, it was such fun! We must have him back again I think!

As usual a BIG thank you to Big City Studios, Lee for making us sound good! And to you AfriWatu for tuning in!

Until next time

Mubarikiwe!
