The importance of Griots lies in their role as cultural diffuser.
Explanation:
Hello!
Griots are very important people in all the cultures of western Africa.
The main task of a Griot is the verbal transmission of traditional songs, which he recites in social events, such as weddings or baptisms. The griot must not only possess vocal skills, but also know in detail the history and current events, which he uses in his performances.
The griot gets paid to do this job.
