The
Story of Sundiata,
the Lion King of Mali
|
Come, my friends,
and hear the story of Sundiata, the great Lion King of Mali, the
most powerful empire in all of western Africa. I am the Malinke
griot Sokana Feremu, and my role is to remember the tales
of my people's past. None of our traditions is more glorious than the
story of Sundiata, who in 1235 reclaimed his father's small kingdom
and made it into a great empire.
Listen now
to my words, for I speak the truth.
