about

The ancient West African bardic craft known as Jaliyaa, is a testament to the power of music and words. The wordsmiths of West Africa are popularly referred to as Griots. In the West African language of Bamanakan or Mande Kan they are known as Jali or Jeli depending on the region you travel into.

JELIYA is a testament to these ancient storytellers but also an ode to close friends, artists, musicians, creatives and strangers who i consider storytellers as well.
