STORIES
Stories were an important part of West African society. Stories were told by older family members and griots. Stories could either be a folktale, proverb (lesson or wise saying), or tale about village leaders. It was vey important for stories to be told in West Africa, so that the younger generations could learn about their history or learn wisdom.
DANCE/MUSIC
Music was another important thing for Africans. Songs were made up to transmit knowledge about adult responsibilities, honor the dead, or make babies fall asleep. Dance went along with music. Dancers perform at many African ceremonies.
