African Storytelling: SUNDIATA (An epic of old Mali) Part 1. Book by Guinea's Djibril Tamsir Niane.

Part history, part fiction. Sundiata documents the story of some of the Kings of West Africa's Mali Empire, as sung by the King's grout. At a time when Africa's history was orally handed down from one generation to the next, the office of the grout was vital in ensuring that historical facts were learned, young Kings were trained, and history was passed on to the next generation in song. Bound by their oath to speak nothing but the truth, these 'speaking documents' conserved the constitution of kingdoms by word alone. In this first part of the story, D.T. Niane sets the stage by introducing the actors and places them in a given time and season.
