Festival sur le Niger et au Désert
Mali is famous for its many festivals and Djembé classes. A Djembé is a traditional drum that is made by hand from a hollowed-out tree trunk and then covered with a goat skin. In Ségou there is the Festival sur le Niger. This festival offers you a unique spectacle, with music, dance, masks, puppets, arts and crafts from the region, as well as very well-known Malian artists. There are also lectures, demonstrations, storytellers, exhibitions, films, puppet shows and traditional and modern dance demonstrations
Another special festival is the Festival au Désert,where music and Tuareg culture blend seamlessly. You can fully enjoy various Malian and international artists who take the stage here. The festival site is the scene of music and dance for days, interspersed with sword fights and camel races. A unique experience, which is reinforced by the atmosphere of the desert. You can also take one or more djembé lessons with an experienced percussionist.
