About this Gig

Zambian folk stories like most African folk stories usually have a moral teaching underlying them. They feature animal characters with "Kalulu" the hare out smarting the other animals most of the time. Some of the themes represented in the stories would be ideas like:- the race is not won by the fastest; he who laughs last, laughs most; goodness always wins over might and many other concepts.


For the Basic Gig, the client would suggest a theme or concept.Then I would come up with an appropriate folk story with suitable characters in it. This would be in script format.


Standard Gig would involve the audio recording of the Folktale in MP3 format with the theme suggested by the client.


The Premium Gig would have the story written down as a script and also recorded as an audio MP3 recording. It would also include music and sound effects. I would work out the theme together with the client.


The unique part of most Zambian folk stories is that most of them usually have a song at the end of the story to drive the teaching home I guess!


I could transcribe and provide an English translation of the song.as an extra.

    The seller delivered a satisfactory product though after a long silence. The seller's explanation on the cause of the hiatus is credible. For this reason I am prepared to have another project with him.
