The Griot tradition of West Africa | Sibo Bangoura | TEDxSydney

While playing the Kora, Sibo sang a traditional West African song, Nan Fulie, about the importance of the Griot people - the West African musicians, storytellers, custodians and teachers of tradition through music and dance.
He finishes with an improvisation on the Djembe.
Sibo Bangoura is a Griot (musicial family lineage) from Guinea, West Africa now living in Australia and sharing the traditions of his musical heritage with people all over the world.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

    “In Mande society, the jeli was an historian, advisor, arbitrator, praise singer (patronage), and storyteller. They essentially served as history books, preserving ancient stories and traditions through song. Their tradition was passed down through generations. The name jeli means "blood" in Manika language. They were believed to have deep connections to spiritual, social, or political powers. Speech was believed to have power in its capacity to recreate history and relationships.” This is so fascinating. Music with a deep spiritual connection and powers.
