Storytelling with music  for all ages



 



A trip to Africa's hot savannah is provided by Celso through his storytelling. The audience get to meet wild animals, several kings and wise peasents.


Due to the melting tons of a variety of african traditional instruments, the stories gain a higher dimention, taking the listeners to an unforgetible journey without leaving the room.


Beside working as a solo artist, Celso tells stories. The audience has the opportunityto try the instruments and ask questions about them and about the Mozambican culture in general. (Photo: Storytelling at Svanneke garden, in Bornholm) - Taken by Mette Zacho
