Abstract Introduction to, analysis of and text of a version of the Sunjata epic narrated in 1950 by Ali Sawse, recorded by David W. Ames and published in a collection of African folklore by Harold Courlander in 1975. Sawse was a Wolof bard from The Gambia and his text is an example of how the story of Sunjata has spread beyond Manding culture. Other examples of the spread and evolution of the Sunjata narrative beyond Manding culture are referenced to including those recorded by Michael Jackson among the Kuranko, a Mande-speaking people of Sierra Leone.
