Experience Guinea's centuries-old griot tradition by attending a live performance of a griot musician. Griots are West African storytellers, poets, and musicians who preserve the oral history and cultural heritage of their communities through song. In Guinea, you may have the opportunity to witness a performance by some of the country's most talented griots, who play a range of traditional instruments, such as the kora, balafon, and ngoni, while sharing stories, poetry, and wisdom.
