Mali Experience Tours

Learn the rhythms of the djembe drum -
an instrument played all over Africa and
now by Western musicians too.

BOGOLAN ARTS

Learn the unique art of bogolan
or "mud cloth," an all-natural
eco-friendly art using handmade
dyes from plant leaves and tree
bark. Bogolan originated with
the hunters, but now it is
popular in all kinds of clothing,
decorations and bed covers.

Learn to sculpt wood with African
themes and techniques. Traditionally,
wooden sculpture carried the
traditions and history in its carvings
as a substitute for writing. In Dogon
culture, it was through the sculpted
staff that people knew their history.
Today it is a way to carry ideas and
for aesthetic decorations.

Learn the vibrant
art of indigo
dyeing. Indigo
cloth is made
from 100%
hand-spun cotton
and dyed using
natural grass. It
is used to make
women's and
men's clothing.
