This is a wonderful journey of tales, epics, songs, and dances that takes the young imagination of audiences back to the "land of the Dogon" in Mali West Africa.
"Mambugur" (Grandfather) is accompanied by his
village friend and fellow musician, Malika , as they search for the "wiley" character, "Babu"!
"Hey! Have you seen Babu? I’ve been searching for him everywhere?"
"Mambugur" (Grandfather) actively engages the audience children in an interactive search, telling Ancient African creation stories, singing songs in "unwritten languages", playing music, and enlisting the aid of his wonderful African Marionette friends known as "Dogo","Bozo", "Yasama" and "Yadjugulu".
You’ve never seen African Marionettes like these before! They’re almost human!
"Hey! Do you have plenty, plenty?"
Everyone in the audience will need "plenty, plenty" if they don’t find "Babu", because excitement becomes unbridled as the great Female Dogon Chakaba (Stilt Walker)is coming along with the four-legged "beast of the harvest, known as "Tyi-Wara"!
