Family storytelling concert w/ Diane Ferlatte

Excerpt from dianeferlatte.com: Grammy-nominated storyteller, Diane Ferlatte is a multi-award winning performer who has captivated audiences across six continents. In addition to historical & personal stories, Diane draws from a deep well of folktales, myths, legends, & fables to inform, entertain, & inspire all. While many of her stories & songs have African and African American roots, she loves to tell any story that holds truths touching upon our common humanity, our history & our culture. She believes that telling and listening to each other’s stories not only enables us to learn about each other, but also to understand each other better. She views storytelling as a traditional art form that can promote literacy, imagination, and values in the young. Through stories, songs, sign language, humor and audience participation, she brings her tales to life while accompanied by her musical sidekick Erik Pearson on banjo & guitar.
