Festival au Desert 2007, Essakane, Mali

The Nomadic Touareg clans have held desert gatherings for centuries to listen to each other’s music, feast, race camels and more. The Festival au Desert manifests what was envisioned in the 1996 “Flame of Peace” monument in Timbuktu built to memorialise a truce declared in 1996 when 3,000 guns were publicly burned to signify the beginning of reconciliation between the nomadic and sedentary communities of the southern Sahara.

Festival au Desert welcomes audiences from around the world to join them at Essakane on the outskirts Timbuktu, Mali, and deep in the magnificent sand dunes of the Sahara Desert. Over 35 musical groups perform for three days and nights in one of the greatest cultural events on the planet.
