Article intéressant pour comprendre ce qu'il se passe au Mali et qui menace d'autres parties du continent africain.
Officiellement, elle résiste à un blocus jihadiste. En réalité, elle révèle une vérité plus dérangeante — celle d’un État réduit à un discours pendant que d’autres imposent leur loi sur les routes, les marchés et la peur.

https://amf.didiermary.fr/super-onze-raw-desert-blues/
If you like pure raw desert blues, this video is for you, as it’s a perfect origin for so many contemporary artists from the Sahel region.
“Super Onze are the real roots of desert blues – Mali’s equivalent of Congotronics. This is how it all sounded before the electric guitar came in to the equation: […]

The prompt is #Bee - at least we think it be!
Taj Mahal with Toumani Diabaté and Ramata Diakité, “Queen Bee” from “One World, Many Cultures” (1999)
“One World, Many Cultures” was a compilation put out by Putumayo World Music, a New York label founded in the 90s when ‘world music,’ music from indigenous cultures or ethic traditions outside of the western, English speaking world, became a concept and dare I say it, a fad. That doesn’t mean the music isn’t great, and the label continues to this day.
Taj Mahal is (Is! He’s still with us!) an old school blues musician. While I think of him with just his voice and his acoustic guitar, he’s performed and recorded with backing bands and done many collaborations.
One of those collaborations is here on this somewhat contrived collection of artists from ‘authentic’ traditions but with some visibility in Western pop culture and lesser-known musicians from traditions spanning the globe. “Queen Bee” is a tune from Taj Mahal’s 1978 album “Evolution (The Most Recent).” Here with Malian musicians kora player Toumani Diabaté and vocalist Ramata Diakité, both now sadly departed, it becomes more delicate, even fragile.

Islamic State claims on behalf of IS Sahel to have conducted a suicide bombing with an SVBIED, driven by a terrorist they identify as Abdul Rahman al-Ansari. The target as usual was a joint patrol of Russian Africa Corps and Malian army between Menaka and Ansongo. #Mali
Mali : quand #Wagner compose la marche funèbre du #Mali
Malgré le remplacement officiel du groupe Wagner https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groupe_Wagner par #AfricaCorps https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Africa_Corps en 2025, la réalité sur le terrain reste inchangée : massacres de civils, violences ethniques et terreur imposée aux populations se poursuivent, révélant une stratégie où la cruauté devient un outil de contrôle. https://www.contretemps.eu/quand-wagner-compose-la-marche-funebre-du-mali/

Trumpin hallinto alkoi kaveerata Afrikan sotilasjohtajien kanssa – voi heikentää Venäjän asemaa, sanoo asiantuntija
Yhdysvallat voisi tarjota Sahelin alueen sotilasjohtajille sellaista apua, johon niiden tärkein kumppani Venäjä ei pysty, asiantuntija arvioi.

"Carrying the torch for future generations, before us on stage were Mali's truest global ambassadors, speaking in tongues that required no translation.
Our only possible response at the end of the show was to breathe in astonished silence and wonder, then treasure deep feelings of gratitude for having been blessed with a gift of truly infinite proportions."

Wow, I am still lost for words after witnessing the closing performance by Salif
Keita's band, Sunday 8 Feb at Sauti za Busara festival here in Zanzibar.
After months of anticipation, only moments before the show was due to begin, the big screen lit up with a message none of us expected. The legendary Salif Keita, visibly emotional, repeating ‘désolé,' informing festival attendees he was diagnosed with a serious heart condition and unable to travel from Bamako.
{* Our hearts and prayers are with you, Salif. May your heavenly music live forever, carrying the soul of Africa across continents and generations *]
@ But Salf's spirit was with us. @
Powerfully represented by a commanding ensemble of 11 Malian musicians and singers - including younger family members - one by one, they took to the stage, armed with an array of electric and acoustic traditional instruments.
What followed was pure transcendence.
Slow, gently, they lifted the crowd skyward, into a vision of a united Africa, a vast and beautiful landscape with no borders, no politics; only a humanity at peace with itself, united in sound and rhythm.
From hushed, spirtually-charged beginnings, the energy built steadily and surely into an explosive finale, losing with timeless Salif classics including "Yamore," "Africa," and "Madan."](https://files.mastodon.social/cache/media_attachments/files/116/052/631/918/297/398/original/c07d8f5134b4001e.png)
