They were considered wise and treated with high respect, not only on the topic of stories but also for historic knowledge and political counsel as well. As a part of their apprenticeship in the trade (usually passed down in a family), a griot had to memorize complex genealogies, historical events, and, of course, stories and songs. Because they had such an extensive knowledge of history and the relationships of the people around them, they were able to offer wise advice to the leaders and kings who hired them. This knowledge also made the griot an extremely valuable member of the village’s society. While anyone could tell stories, each village had only one official griot, and trying to steal another village’s griot could start a war. The griot had no other job besides learning and sharing his knowledge. In the evenings, when the village’s inhabitants were done with the day’s work, he might beat a drum or shake a rattle as he called out the words “Come hear! Come hear!” Adults and children alike would come to his call, ready to hear stories of gods and goddesses, warfare and battles, or great heroes or kings." "The art of storytelling is still practiced in modern times and one of the most enduring and loved characters to come out of ancient Ghana and into the modern era is Anansi the Spider." *In stock boxes will ship in approximately three weeks.
