In Mali, the Niger River, Djoliba, is called in many different ways. The Great Mother, the blood that flows through the veins, the great river that gives life.

That’s right, in Mali life is born from the river and flows slowly along with its waters. Everything revolves around its banks. The river gives water to irrigate, gives food, thirsts herds, supplies mud to build houses and pottery, clay to dye fabrics, is the main transport and communication route, it is even the greatest source of inspiration for Malian musicians. Postal postcard river landscapes, indescribable colors, shades of burgundy, yellow and brown, emerald green, up to the bright color spots of traditional pirogues that, dragging their nets, parading peacefully in front of groups of women who do laundry or wash their children, to small clay mosques and the mud houses of the villages Bozo, Somono and Peuhl, in small strips of sand where the hippos rest.
