About The Preserving Griot Project

The Griot Project is dedicated to exploring and uniting the stories of Canada’s griots, inspired by the rich tradition of West African griots who have long served as the keepers and conveyors of knowledge. These storytellers, musicians, and poets have carried our narratives across the Atlantic, ensuring that our stories endure. By delving into their inspiration and contributions, the Griot Project celebrates and preserves this vital cultural heritage, connecting past, present, and future generations.
