45 kms away from Bamako, on the road to Guinea,                          Siby is a true haven of peace , serenity and            escape for all kinds of artistic creations.        The history of Mandé, through its legendary heroes, such                  as Soundiata Keita, has deeply marked the culture of              Mali and of Western Africa. Many artists have taken their                                 inspiration from this heroic history.                    Siby also has a contemporary history:                             The first African anti -globalization              meetings were held there in 2002 and 2003.
