check out the list of artists - sick!!

who's in??!!

(i'm quite serious)

That is great. Mali is one of the best, if not the best country for music in Africa. And one of the best in the world too.

The lineup is great. Salif Keita, Vieux Farka Toure, Oumou Sangare, Amadou & Mariam, Tinariwen, Toumani Diabate, Bassekou Kouyate.. and that's just the beginning.

If I'd had the opportunity and money, I'd go.

looks awesome
I have to go there someday, but this time it will be tough.
Mali is a great country, not very far from my home base in West Africa (Burkina Faso)
Great music. Greg did you get that Desert Blues compilation we listened to in the car on our way back from Versailles ?
If not, tell me, I'll send you a link.
