Charlotte Blake Alston is a storyteller who models her role after that of the Griot, the keeper of the traditions and stories in African villages. Her repertoire includes educational raps, monologues, songs, poetry and dramatic impersonations from the African-American experience, which are enhanced by the sounds of traditional instruments including the djembe, berimau, nkoning, mbira and the 21-stringed kora.
This performance is supported in part by the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, a state agency funded by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.
