  • Have any of you heard of the Festival in the Desert (Festival du Desert in French)?

    It is a traditional event near the mythical city of Timbuktu in Mali, West Africa. Created by the Tuareg tribes to celebrate their rich cultural heritage and to sort out any differences over a nice glass of tea, this festival has now become World renowned for its uniqueness and big music names such as Amadou & Mariam, Tinariwen, Vieux Farka Toure and Bassekou Touyate!
