Festival history

Renowned for fishing, the Bozos detain all the secrets of the river. They have a connection with the spirits of the waters which the other communities don't have. Because of the fish missing and the modernization, the Bozos come in Bamako (the capital of Mali) for the sand extraction. This sector faces severe problems bound to the drastic decline of the river, which prevents the extraction. When rocks appear and the Bozos stop working, all the process of modernization is stopped.

will discover the road of the sand in the life of Malians.
