griots (performing artists, <people in the performing arts>, ... People (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Western African people whose role is to narrate, chant, or sing histories, especially genealogies, of individuals, families, and communities, often accompanying this with instrumental music, acting, and mime. Originally the term was used with reference only to West Africans, now applied to such people in other cultures and geographic regions. Griots are usually male; for females who have this role, prefer the narrower term "griottes."
