2003 Smithsonian Folklife Festival
June 25 - 29, July 2 - 6, 2003
on the National Mall
The 2003 Smithsonian Folklife Festival will celebrate the living traditional
cultures of the Republic of MALI, Scotland, and Appalachia.
Appalachia: Birthplace of Country Music
Scotland at the Smithsonian:
Mali: From Timbuktu to Washington, D.C.
Mali has been known since ancient times as the location of the Mali Empire
and the fabled city of learning, Timbuktu. Trade in gold and salt made
Timbuktu a center of the trans-Saharan trade. From the 12th century,
scholars from throughout West Africa gathered at the Sankoré mosque to study
the Koran, literature, history, and law. Timbuktu and many of the other
great cities of landlocked Mali are along the Niger River, a thoroughfare
for commerce and travelers. Festival visitors will learn of the Empires of
Ghana, Mali, and Songhai, celebrated in the songs of griots (oral
historians). They will see examples of sudanic adobe architecture under
construction, hear music and learn the dances of the Dogon, Bambara, Fulani,
and Bozo peoples, see the jewelry and tents of the nomadic Touareg people,
taste the cuisines of Mali, and learn how mudcloth is made from hand-spun
and hand-woven cotton. In the bicentennial year of the Louisiana Purchase,
visitors also will learn how Malians contributed to the culture and
development of the United States.
