Episode 26: Old Wives’ Tales - Congo

Helloo Legends and welcome to Legendary Africa! Today, fresh outta hiatus, I am bringing two delightful tales from Congo folklore straight to your ear canal! Our first story tells the tale of two brothers and their rivalry, a woman from the sea, and the punishment for betraying a loved one's trust. Our second story follows one regular man and his three gifted wives as they battle against death itself.
