    Yes. I was waiting for this. The griots are one of my favorite aspects of African history. They are like walking talking history.

      They are all our ancestors. From Egypt to Senegal to Angola. The history of mating and marriage on the continent is such that groups could have ancestors coalescing from all over the continent even in modern times.
      But I understand your meaning, as someone who's focus is primarily on ancient West Africa I do feel we could all stand to hear a bit more about the rest of Africa.

      Jasmine A Hip Hop has roots in the Jamaican art of “Toasting”. Toasting was a cultural practice that we brought with us from west Africa during slavery that has its roots in chanting & story telling over drum beats.

    We had an equivalent in Pre-Christian Ireland called Filí, a lot of the things they claimed as part of our history have since been proven to be true. I think it's only accurate that Oral Traditions are innaccurate in cultures that don't value them properly. I 100% believe the Griots hold/held a lot of very accurate history.

      Because "Blues" music began in West Africa, specifically Mali. Playing stringed instruments called Koras, they told stories. This was confirmed when Malian artist Ali Farca Toure sang a ancient song on the radio using an acustic guitar. British Blues singer made the connection of Mississippi Blues to Malian traditional music. There is now an annual Malian Music festival with Rock and Roll bands playing as well.

      @@branndly in both instances the French are involved. Most of West Africa was colonized and is neo-colonized by France, Haiti was also a French colony. Griot is French for musician or poet. The fact that the French didn't see beyond the music and poetry just shows how much they didn't understand.
      Synonyms for griot are jeli, jali, djali or jeliya. Among the Mandika of West Africa, there are five families who heridetarily pass down oral history.

They do not teach these things in the Caribbean classrooms (at least not in my time) and i had never heard of him. I greatly admire the strength and resilience of the Haitian people to this day and all they have been through.

    Oral history is actually the BEST way of preserving history. Yes, THE BEST way! The accounts or reports of one oral historian can always be compared with the reports of other oral historians. And if 10 ,15 or 20 people have preserved the same historical details with a chain of narrators, what are the odds that they're all mistaken about the exact same details? And where they disagree is where we can be certain that a historical error crept in. This is much better system than a book, which is almost always written by one source/indivdual; who, if he/ she was wrong about a certain topic would mislead everyone who takes his information in the future. There would be no real way of double-checking what an author wrote and we must always presume that he was being honest/telling the truth in his reports, and that no error crept into his memory when he was writing his account. This is not a very good system at all.

      You talk as if you are not human and aren't vulnerable to the shortcomings of human nature. Here's a phrase for you..."write it down or you'll forget." When a person dies all is lost in that instant but if there is a written account that can be passed on to the next. There's a reason why libraries and books were burned. Also you ever play the game telephone when you were a child? Humans are fallible. Regardless if it's written or oral, mistakes can happen. And sometimes those errors are intentional. I don't have to go any deeper than that.

    Curious about the second graphic image in the video, showing two figures, one playing the Kora, and the other apparently a bowed lute. Can anyone identify the origin or source of this image? Have been looking for historical images of bowed lutes, which seem to be much harder to find than those of plucked lutes (like the Ngoni, which is depicted in several other images in the video).

    I consider Dr. Carr one of the best Griots in our modern history.

    I thought the pronunciation was that of a silent T. Like 'GREE-OH' and MARIBOO

    " Africa " that is an European name.
    The " Griot's " mentioned are from the post Islamic influence.
    Perhaps we need to search deeper before Islamic influence.

      Griot is traditional not religious. It's old us the culture.

    Haitians use the word Griot to describe a famous food in our culture which is fried pork.... I wonder where haitians got the word from and why it reference fried pork

    Follow the ANTs logic, not emotional-imagination. THE absolute LEGEND in MAURI Continental HERstory, is the pre-Adamite TITAN GIANT King ATLAS (Antlas?) of ATLANTIS (Antlantis?) City at what is now called the RICHAT in MAURitania, which in post-Adamite (not midevil) times was called northern GHANA. th-cam.com/video/76e-A7RNjKI/w-d-xo.html
    Try reading (decoding) more Greek literature (PLATO etc...) instead of that King James crap.
    Search and see (de-code) HERODOTUS MAPS for the source of the [now dried] western branch of the NYLE River that flowed into Lake Chad. th-cam.com/video/U5kEzxOb-3c/w-d-xo.html
    Thru King ATLAS 5 Wives he had 5 sets of Twin Daughters who established a Global TROPICAN Empire of 10 Queen-domes all around OUR planet. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlas_(mythology)
    The Global Empire of ATLANTIS is named after OUR GOD-Father ATLAS whose Capitol city 'ATLANTES' was at the Richat in MAURitania south of the ATLAS Mountains. The city was washed into the Atlantic Mar (ocean/sea/gulf) when the 2 Mediterranean Lakes overflowed from end of Ice Age rapid polar ice melts.
    Giggle Earth it.
    Greeks can't claim Western Afrikhan (MAURgreb) my-story anymore.
    See the HIJACK!
    Those statue pics THEY always shove thru OUR eyeballs when referencing Greek personages were ALL carved during Midevil times, NOT ancient times. Not one!
    Ancient Melanoid so-called Hindu (SIDDHI) statues are more accurate depictions of OUR Melanoid ancestors than those Greek fakes.
    Greek mythology (my-theology) is CODED West Afrikhan mystery (my-story).
    Re-claim it and DECODE it.
    Get real!!!
    Re-imagine LOCKS of hair on the head of EVERY ANTLAS statue holding up OUR world! LOCKS are LOGICAL.
    Look at the hair on the King ANTLAS statue in front of the Rockefeller Center facing the so-called Saint Pa-Tarik (PATRIX?). Cornrow LOCKS!!!
    The Rockefellers (Rottenchilds) know OUR true STORIES. Userpers (serpents?)!
    WE are the real Fellows-of-the-Rock.
    Godfrey Higgins stressed that MELANOID Buddhic (Jaina?) culture spanned from east Azia to Britanya.
    Higgins worked at the British Museum and saw much of OUR stolen artifacts that are still classified SECRET to those un-initiated.
    YOU have no idea what all THEY got of OURS in those vaults.
    Recently LAIRD SCRANTON has come to the same conclusion Higgins presented. Laird re-connected these dots thru language and symbology: Dogon (Atlantians), Buddhians, Khemeti, Chineze, Sofis, Maori, BlackFelas, the original dark Scotirish, and others. Support him.

    Heal that MYsterial/OURstorial/HERstorial PARADIGM with 'Radical Truth'.
    Mansa Musa was a bling-bling FOOL according to the GRIOTS.
    He opened the Afrikhan Maurgreb (black west) to the parasitic psycho-virus of Arabisalaam, which led to the implosion of OUR last Maurgreb Empire.
    Curses forever upon Mansa.
    Stop PARROTING, if you've been!
    Just ask the DOGON, or any NY Jew (Ferengi?) about Mansa's show-off policy wisdom.
    The Fool had neither.
    Fcuk re-membering Mansa.
    Dis-member HIM.
    Remember King ANTLAs.
    Remember ANTLANTEs City.
    Remember the ANTLANTIAN Empire Qween Domes.
    Remember The TITANTs.
    Could it be that the Presenter and Commenters western PARROT conditioning reveals it's depth with this topic?
    The Jesuwizard enemy loves OUR self mis-directing such as still calling ourselves 'Africans'.
    There were NO 'Africans' prior to the first Phunic War battles (300-bc). Period. Dark people were called MAURS going back 50,000+ years.
    Prior to OUR Phunic losses WE didn't use vowels. The Roman Latinization of spoken Phoenixian has US still under it's spell (SPELL?).
    Pharaoh Narmer's name has been cloaked by vowel manipulation along with many other Anglish words.
    His name was/is NARMAUR.
    This spelling better serves US tactically.
    Decode all Anglish words containing M...R and be amazed.
