The current session is an opportunity to discover the habits and customs of the town and surrounding neighborhoods through concerts, shows, exhibitions and workshops, in addition to the footprint of the territory through camel races. .
The director of the Festival Nomade, Noureddine Bougrab, declares: “The Festival Nomade is back in force this year, with a varied program, lyrical performances, exhibitions, and activities that touch on nomadism, such as camel races, the preparation of the bread of sand and cooking on sand.”
“Thanks to the camels, Arab and Islamic culture spread in the desert, from Essaouira to Cairo, and from Tangier to Timbuktu”, explains Issa Dicko, director of the Tomast Cultural Center in Bamako.
Issa Dico adds: “For me, the role of the camel is important, and since the year 2000, it has been considered an intangible heritage by UNESCO. Today, all countries that share the culture of the camel must make this factor their property and make it a unifying factor.”
“This region sends a message to the whole world, despite globalization,” said Lebanese singer Jahida Wehbe, who attended Nomad Festival activities and sang in front of her fans.
Artist Jahida Wehbe adds: “Since my first visit here, I still remember the beauty of these people, their hospitality, their love of simple things and their joie de vivre.”
