| Our poets and storytellers are the modern-day griots who speak the history and carry on the culture with dazzling tongue. |
| Once there they'll hear the powerful voices of men and women griots filling the courtyards of villages as they sing the praises of Soundiatta. |
| A mechanic's son, he is descended on his mother's side from a line of griots. |
| It didn't take him long to draw a parallel between jazz soloing and the improvised vocalization of West African griots. |
| Singing, dancing, and praise-songs, performed by griots, are central to the celebration of births, marriages, and holidays. |
| In addition to the storytelling and music provided by the griots, the Malinke like to listen to the radio. |
