ONE is turning to its community of artists, friends, members and staff for their top picks on creative works that have enhanced their knowledge and understanding of the richness of African culture and arts. Today we have a recommendation from South African singer-songwriter Vusi Mahlesela

In honor of Nelson Mandela’s 91st birthday, ANSA (Artists for a New South Africa) has released a great audio book of Madiba’s favorite African Folk Tales. I was honored to lend some vocals on the project and it was fun to hear all the great stories as storytelling is so integral in preserving all of our cultures and history. Happy Birthday, Madiba!
