Bush Radio
The term “Bush radio” metaphorically represents other forms of communication or storytelling, particularly those that are passed down orally from generation to generation. In this sense, the Bush radio represents the power of storytelling and the importance of preserving cultural traditions and histories.
Africa is a symphony of voices, a chorus that echoes through the savannahs and reverberates across the deserts. It is a bush radio, broadcasting the stories and songs of its people to all who will listen.
