 La Musica del Deserto (The Music of the Desert) tells the story of a journey through the northern part of Mali, and of a search for the roots of the music of the Tuareg people. Anna Jannello, is an Italian journalist based in Milan who works for the news magazine, Panorama. For this publication Janello interviewed many musicians, artists and organizers at the 10th 'Festival au Desert'.
The atmosphere was magical: three days and nights of complete immersion in the local music, surrounded by sand dunes, not far from Timbuktu.
Jannello also describes her journey in a "pinasse" from Timbuktu to Djenné, and relates her several meetings with other writers, historians, native civil servants and peasants. On arriving at Bamako, she chanced upon yet another fascinating local festival called 'Les Voix de Bamako'.

AFRICULTURES - 'The Festival in the Desert ':Spotlights and Stars. An article from Intagrist El Ansari, the Press Manager of the Festival in the Desert. "I must have been approximately six years old when one day we had pitched our tents in the desert near the village of Gargando, west of the city of Timbuktu, heading towards Mauritania. As I stood outside our nomadic encampment on a high spot, I was puzzled as I watched something move through the entire camp. The image I saw was of a groups of men arriving on the backs of proud faced camels, walking in caravans or at a gallop. The men of our camp welcomed the guests and led them to the reception tents, a few metres away from the houses. The women got busy, some organizing inside the tents, others striking their tambourines to announce the event being prepared and to send a call to the neighboring camps."
