The wisdom of the Moogo
Here is a collection of 30 stories in two volumes of 15 stories each with audio.
Traditionally, the tales are recited in the evening, at nightfall, once the day's labors and tasks have been completed. This moment is conducive to listening to the entire population of the village (children, old people, men and women) who are grouped together to listen to the wisdom of Moogo (Mosse country). Moaaga tales and proverbs are an integral part of Mossi culture in Burkina Faso. Coming from an oral tradition, transmitted from generation to generation by storytellers, griots, wise men, old men, this oral literature has today gone beyond the limits of Burkina Faso and is spreading throughout the world, showing that attraction to Africa, its culture, its artistic forms and its literature is real. Even today, while Africa is “modernizing” and its values ​​and morals are evolving, influenced by Western trends, oral tradition, with its tales and proverbs, occupies an important place. Oral tradition remains one of the riches and characteristics of Burkinabè society. Read and listen to these tales on your Android smartphone or tablet, and share them with your neighbors
