In Western Africa, griots are the guardians of memory. In a society based on orality, they are responsible for maintaining alive its history and tradition. They are masters of the spoken word and their narratives are based on the convergence between word, music and movement. Multiplicity, in the African oral tradition, is the way of conveying knowledge. The following dissertation is an effort to converge the multiplicity of the world, from other shores, and has as a goal to reflect about the poetics of griot, its performance, body, voice, memory and words – spoken or sung. Furthermore, this effort proposes a reflection on the difference of the “other” and of difference as a possibility of broadening our own understanding, of our organization, ethics and aesthetics.
