In Africa, a griot is charged with the responsibility of preserving the stories of the village. Every individual contributes with their stories, and the griot memorises them, ensuring that future generations are aware of their cultural heritage. As the griot grows older, they pass on these same stories to another individual.
It is often said in Africa that when a griot passes away, it’s like an entire library has been burned down.
