Description

This year Black History Season in Camden celebrates people in our communities who play the role of the Griots today. Like a modern day singer, rapper, or musician, a Griot was a West African poet praise singer, considered as the foundation of oral tradition of the country. The season kicks off on Monday 4 October with an evening to celebrate Camden's long association with the anti-apartheid movement, hosted by the Mayor of Camden. Running from 4 October to 26 November in venues across Camden, this year's programme will include a range of musical events, exclusive film screenings and exhibitions. We hit the streets of Camden and asked "What is a Griot" What does Black History mean to you? Can you spell Griot?, and Can you name a modern day Griot?
