Foday Musa Suso is a member of the hereditary Jali social class, and, as ethnomusicologist Roderic Knight explains, that means he is both a historian and a musician InchFor example, praises and genealogy were incorporated into songs, and oral history was told to the accompaniment of instrument music. Inch Suso's selections on this album range from traditional stories from the Mali Empire (InchTira MakanInch) to a contemporary song from the Gambia that refers to the 1960s moon landing missions (InchApolloInch).
