Nelson Mandela's Favorite African Folktales

I was looking about GD and saw a thread about Nelson Mandela mentioning that he is in critical condition.

In honor of the guy, I decided I will listen to his favorite African Folktales, which is a CD that I bought years back.

The Track List - Narrated By:

The Ring of the King - Alan Rickman(Snape)
Asmodeus and the Bottler of Djinns - Whoopi Goldberg
Mpipidi and the Motlopi Tree - Matt Damon and Vusi Mahlasela
The Message - Charlize Theron
Sakunaka, The Handsome Young Man - Latanya Richardson Jackson and Vusi Mahlasela
Wolf and the Jackal and the Barrell of Butter - Hugh Jackman
The Sultan's Daughter - Blair Underwood
The Mother who Turned to Dust - Helen Mirren and Vusi Mahlasela
Fesito Goes to Market - Don Cheadle
Nansi Indaba(Here is the Story) - Johnny Cleg

It is pretty awesome!

They have it in Amazon. I bought it when Borders was still open.
I think my favorite out of there would be the one narrated by Whoopi, though all of them are exceptional.
