Nouveau Griot is
the result of 20 years on stage and in studio. It is the text from four
spoken word audio recordings made between 2004-2016: Invisible World, The Memorists, Language for Gods andZENSHIP. This
work is in the continuum of the griot, which is a french African word
meaning “poet, singer and traveling musician to whom supernatural
powers are often attributed.”
