Griots a good or bad history

I believe that a mixture of both Griot form and the textbook vsion of history would be the best because Griot history contains the feelings and personal experiences of the people. This can add an important level of emotiin to history and it makes it ver real. However this form is also biased toward one group of people and can be changed or exaggerated by the storytellers. The text book is not biased but it also has only facts and no personal descriptions of emotions. A history with both elements would be the best.
