"Sayon Camara" - 2002.07.12 by WB

 

Already in the end of June, Guinean singer and griot (traditional storyteller) Sayon Camara was named a UNESCO Artist for Peace. As with many international artists, her recordings (including the recent album "Dinguraye") are almost impossible to obtain; her name only known to observers of African culture and even a detailed web-search offers only a few clues on africatime.com and boubah.com . What importance does an UNESCO award have, if id does not generate at least a little more publicity?
