"I come from the land beyond the sand," said the youth, "from a country where the people are as black as ebony. I am a Griot and the heir to my country's throne” Kama Sywor KAMANDA brings new life to the tale undoubtedly because he is a Bantu and he borrows from traditional sources. He doesn't limit himself to his equatorial Africa and plunges deeply into her forests, her rivers, and her lakes, but he does so in order to travel and to open himself up to the charms of Asia, particularly the Arab world not forgetting the "saffron-coloured" world.In Black pearl and other tales by Kamanda, Kama Sywor KAMANDA shows the magical world of the surreal, a world of miracles, but also of catastrophes. A world of fairies, but, more often, of ogres, of magicians, and of "djinés”.
