"The Twins and the Monster" is an African story by Tololwa Mollel. Set in an African forest, two twins, Azizi and Aziza, outwit a fierce monster and restore their devastated village. Beautiful carved masks, singing, drama, and costuming help to create an exotic atmosphere, as powerful music sweeps you to a faraway land, courtesy of Dandi Productions. Join in a Swahili sing-along with "Fungua, Fungua Hodi," a song from the story. Study guide for teachers includes information about an orchestra, program notes of the concert, and activity pages.
