The ngoni is the musical instrument favored by the djeli, the bard~historians attached to the kingdom's noble families, who recited the nobles' ancestry and the accomplishments of each generation. These narratives, which have been preserved orally for more than three hundred years, are about real people and events, and they contain within them many fragments of Segu's history. The heroes of these stories are kings, princes, warriors, djeli and magicians. They confronted kings, conquered city~states, battled other heroes, performed both generous and violent acts and lived by a code of valor, chivalry and honor rivaling that of the knights of medieval Europe and the samurai of Japan. The epics are arranged in chronological order. They are rich in poetic expression, full of adventures and valorous deeds and attest to the sophisticated culture that developed in Africa before the arrival of the Europeans. As djeli competed with djeli to produce narrative and musical masterpieces, the history of the kingdom was recorded in a series of fascinating stories mixing fact and myth. These delightful tales will have great appeal to students of African culture and history and to anyone interested in folk literature.…
