A proposito di questo titolo

In the shadow of the great mud mosque of Djenné, the griots of Mali have preserved centuries of history through oral tradition. This episode dives into the world of the jeliw—the hereditary praise-singers, historians, and diplomats who served the Mande kings. We explore the griot's role at the court of Sundiata Keita, training that begins in childhood, the sacred instrument of the kora, and the epic of Sunjata that survives today. We also examine the tension between oral and written history, and how griots like Wa Kamissoko have shaped modern understanding of the Mali Empire. Lucas and Luna discuss the griots' political power, their memorization techniques, and the survival of their art in West Africa today. A story of memory, identity, and the voices that built an empire.
