Explanation:
Griot is the name given to storytellers, in some peoples of Africa. They have a special function that is to narrate the traditions and events of a people. The custom of sitting under trees or around fires to hear the stories and songs, lasts until today. The griots are also musicians and often the narratives are sung. The Mali Empire, under the command of Soundjata Keita, around the thirteenth century gives remarkable importance to these sages. The construction of oral history is a mark of the ancient African peoples and the griot plays a fundamental role in its structuring.
