about

Djeli is a term given to West African, storytellers, poets, musicians who are tasked with being walking libraries or keeping the history of their people committed to memory. If they forget or make error then that title is stripped away. This to me shows the importance of memory. I always think of videogames before memory cards. Imagine playing for hours only to have to turn the console off and start all over again. That to me is the current condition of our people in the diaspora in my opinion.
