African Myths

Nach den vielen Hörbüchern mit Weltmusik für Kinder, hat die Gruppe "Karibuni" für dieses Album Märchen aus Äthiopien zusammengestellt. "Teret Teret" - "Märchen Märchen", mit diesen Worten beginnt jede Geschichte für Kinder in Äthiopien und auch dieses Album. Die Märchen entführen uns in ein uraltes Land mit vielen Völkern und einer langen Geschichte. Wir hören die berühmte Erzählung der Rose, die in der Trockenzeit eine Wolke um Regen bittet; lernen, dass es nicht der Reichtum ist, der allein einen Menschen glücklich macht; freuen uns über das salomonische Urteil des weisen Richters und die schönste Orange die je an einem Baum gewachsen ist.
