For 800 years this expert musician class have been responsible for preserving the region's wisdom and lore. Epic songs, genealogies and one of the world's richest instrumental traditions have been passed down through arduous apprenticeships, ensuring that the Griot family endures. Born in Gambia, the author is a Mandingo Griot. He mastered the Griot's traditional repertory of 111 songs while playing his kora (a 21-string harp-lute), and traveled through the world establishing finally in the U.S. in the 1970s, forming The Mandingo Griot Society, a fusion of African, jazz and pop influences that broke ground for today's multi-cultural musical hybrids.
