“In Mande society, the jeli was an historian, advisor, arbitrator, praise singer (patronage), and storyteller. They essentially served as history books, preserving ancient stories and traditions through song. Their tradition was passed down through generations. The name jeli means "blood" in Manika language. They were believed to have deep connections to spiritual, social, or political powers. Speech was believed to have power in its capacity to recreate history and relationships.” This is so fascinating. Music with a deep spiritual connection and powers.
I'm not from history school!! 😂😂😂😂 I'm a Mexican living in Brasil and learning just for fun about music around the world and I stopped by in this amazing video of west African music!
@@katielopez706 i swear Africa and the American islands must have contacted each other before the europeans something about west African tradition and islander culture is so similar
Me, because educating myself makes me better, and the world is full of beautiful people with beautiful languages and cultures, thank God. I'm grateful so many have come from their teachers, though.
@Cara Pilgreen Yep. We're doing a project on renaissances and specifically their innovations. We got the Mali Empire and we're making our innovation on music and the griots so we found this video.
@Cara Pilgreen Wow. We had to do 3hrs/4 pages of research for our first "phase..." then we had Phase 2... then 2A, 2B, 3, and now 3A, so our research journal, as a group of 4, is at 54 pages of information. We are one month in and a couple of months to go. The end goal is a 3-5min podcast on the innovations of our renaissance... so that's going to be great.
@@sjappiyah4071You don’t know what you’re talking about. Country, blues, hip hop all have their own root merits- and have no derivative basis of African music . While it’s all beautiful, That is inaccurate. 😂
Here are some of the griots you can listen to their songs on youtube here Salif Keita and Sona Jobarteh. Griots are from the Mandinka ethnicity found across West Africa.

Same
This is one of the most beautiful music I have heard. Is it traditional African or has it been mixed with a modern style?
Traditional/ Medival West African music : )
It sounds so western... Maybe because their music had been incorporated so much in the western music.
Jorge Neri Precisely, almost all modern western music are African derived/ inspired.
Blues, Country, Jazz, Rock , pop and of course hiphop.
This kind of music in West Africa is very old. It dates back to the Mali empire in the 12th century
