THE GRIOt SERIES
The griot, a musician historian / storyteller / poet, plays an essential role of resistance in many Western African societies prominently responsible for the continuation of the cultural mythology of their people. The GRIOT Series is a multimedia project that explores heritage, equity and cultural relevance through storytelling. Its purpose is to uplift, reaffirm, and celebrate the musical legacy and wisdom of older Black New Orleans jazz musicians whose livelihood has been greatly affected by the commodification/gentrification of local music over the years.
