What people are saying:

“Working on In the Beginning was a pleasure from start to finish. Hawa has taken these fascinating characters and blended them into a colourful and exiting tapestry. No two characters are the same and I’m sure this will be something listeners will want to come back to, again and again”

Chizzy Akudolu

“Tight production and just beautiful characters and stories” 

Jimmy Akingbola

“Oh, and for the Orishas – love the accents.. A bunch of geezers! It was unexpected – but was cool as it progressed. I like how this was done and then intro’d the African later with Oshun.  My favourite was Arrogance of Fam – just that the message resonated with me a bit more. It was an entertaining way to deliver something serious.”

Ziad Zoueihed (Nigeria)

“Seriously, ItB is SO good!! You’ve outdone yourself. The girls and I listened to the first 2 eps last night Évelyne (4.5 year old) was riveted! She (and I!) love all the narration and sounds. Rémy (6) who has the attention span of a gnat particularly loved Tiddalik”

“I learned something new today, I had no idea these wonderful stories existed, more please!“

Sherry-Ann Sassoa 

A delicious feast for the ears, allowing children to explore the marvel of cultural storytelling. I thoroughly recommend ‘In the Beginning’ to any child or any adult. Put it on in the car, lovely listening on a rainy day or as the perfect bed time stories…. My son put down his iPad to listen to these wonderful tales….and that’s saying something!“

“It is like a dream world of beautiful and funny stories which I also learn a lot from it too. My niece and nephew listened so hard they barely moved, loved it!”
