Griots, a uniquely African profession, fulfill a variety of
roles as genealogists, historians, spokespersons, diplomats,
musicians, teachers, praise singers, and advisors. Telling the
story of these remarkable wordsmiths and performers, Thomas A. Hale
addresses the nature of their verbal and musical art, the role of
female griots, or griottes, how griots and griottes fit into their
societies, and what their future might be in Africa and the rest of
the world.
