With all the talk about Black musicians and where they belong, and in which genre of music, we're taking you back to one of the earliest theGrio Daily episodes. Wypipologist Michael Harriot discusses the roots of Country music, and honors Sister Rosetta Tharpe for creating Rock and Roll.
We're talking about "Griots," a class of people trained to keep our history and tell our stories. Michael takes us on a journey explaining where Griots first started and how they've trickled down through history. It's deeper than you think, Kings and Queens.
