Sound recording, story and song; a song and
folk tale, sung and told by Amoafi Kwapong, in The First
International Storytelling Festival at Battersea Arts Centre,
London, 1st February 1985
|
|
Song followed by an incomplete story about two
brothers, one good and one evil, told by Amoafi Kwapong. The good
child would die if his evil brother cried, so the evil brother
could never be disciplined. The evil brother kills their mother
by cutting off her breasts, and the brothers then go on a journey
on which the evil brother's killing continues. The good brother
then dies, leaving the evil brother alone.
