Biennale Festival

Every 2 to 3 years, there is a arts and cultural festival in Mali in a different region of the country. This year it was in Kayes.
Brandon, me, Spencer, Natalie and Steve all went.
Natalie, Awa (coworker), me, and Fanta (friend)This is at the stadium. His name is Salif and he is a heartbreaker. :)
The President of Mali was in town so there was a lot of extra security.
This is the mascot of the event. It is supposed to be a snail.....
People from each region performed. These guys seemed to have the most fun.
There were 6 skydivers.....

Children performed but I didnt understand the story. It was cute though.
Dancing....
A horse show....
