Tosinger, an Afrosoul/Afrofolk singer/songwriter and a storyteller passionate about culture and music, is furthering the storytelling tradition with a new Youtube channel, Tales With Tosinger. The modern day griot is telling stories that give a sense of culture, history and personal identity while teaching life lessons.
Folktales and fables are an educational and entertaining means of passing down traditions and customs from one generation to the next. An African tradition for several generations, adults would tell tales by the moonlight while teaching morals and lessons.
“I sing, I write, I act and I tell stories. I am a modern day griot and a cultural ambassador. I have chosen to gather adults and children alike around a social app, a Youtube video, the millennial way to get the world’s attention,” Tosinger, the writer of the short stories folktale collection, Seven Afrofolk tales in Seven Days, said.
The channel presents a new video every Tuesday.
