   Sahara Zoo is an exciting collection of folk tales from the African continent presented in a story-telling theatre style. The show features many animals in stories of ageless truths, from conceited iguana to king lion, from a timid frog to a not so clever elephant. Children from the audience join the professional cast on stage and perform with the puppets made by the company.    
    
  Baba Ola-Tunji is a master drummer and storyteller who has been playing percussion instruments for over 40 years.  He teaches and performs original stories.  His drumming and percussions accentuate any program from cultural, heritage to traditional and children will be enthralled by his storytelling.
