Mali
Mali is where West Africa meets the Sahara, an amazing desert land full of legendary places, such as the fabled city of Timbuktu, or the ancient town of Djenné, known for its enormous mud mosque. Mali has a distinctive musical tradition that has achieved worldwide fame with musicians such as Ali Farka Touré or the Tuareg band Tinariwen, and each year the celebrated Festival au Desert attracts world music fans to the small town of Essakane, on the edge of the Sahara. For many people a trek through Dogon country, where people live in sandstone caves, is the highlight of a trip to Mali.
