The Origin of Mt. Mandara

A fourteen-minute oral history recounting how the Mandara range was formed, told in the Marghi Central dialect by Elder Bulama Kwada.

The narration moves between cosmology and practical geography, naming the streams and passes that shaped early settlement patterns.

Recorded in a single take at dusk, with ambient sound from the surrounding compound left intact.
