  3. Griots: The Oral Tradition • In parts of Africa, generations of griots (gree-ohs) have preserved cultural traditions, memories, and stories of the past through an astonishing ability to remember and recite huge quantities of information. These "performances," or recitations, often include music, with the griot singing to a musical accompaniment. The literature presented by the griot consists of histories, legends, folk tales, stories, proverbs, poetry, and drama. • Traditionally, griots have been assigned to important families and to kings, whom they serve as advisors, masters of ceremonies, and official spokesmen. • http://www.classzone.com/cz/books/ms_wcg_survey/resources/html/animations/wc19_anim_griots.html
