Greetings, fellow curious minds! Today, we're going to delve into the fascinating life of Mansa Musa, Mansa Musa was the wealthiest person in history, and we're going to find out how he got there.
Mansa Musa was the ruler of the Mali Empire, located in what is now West Africa. But he wasn't just any ruler. He was the kind of guy who had so much gold that he made Scrooge McDuck look like a penny-pincher. And we're not talking about a few gold coins here and there. We're talking about so much gold that he caused inflation wherever he went. That's right, folks. Mansa Musa was the OG influencer. He could walk into a market and throw around so much cash that the price of goods would skyrocket for months afterward.

But Mansa Musa wasn't just about showing off his bling. He was also a devout Muslim and made a pilgrimage to Mecca in 1324. And when I say pilgrimage, I mean the kind of pilgrimage that puts a European backpacking trip to shame. He travelled with a caravan of thousands of people, including soldiers, scholars, and slaves. And he didn't just travel light. He brought so much gold with him that he had to hire a team of camels just to carry it all. Can you imagine being that rich? "Oh, I'm sorry, I can't come to your party tonight. I have to go hire some camels to carry my gold."
But Mansa Musa wasn't all about showing off his wealth. He was also a patron of Islam and built numerous mosques and madrasas, or Islamic schools. He was a true leader, both in his empire and in the wider Islamic world.
So, get ready to take a journey back in time to the days of camels, gold, and Islamic scholarship. Mansa Musa's story is one for the books, and we're about to uncover all the juicy details.

Mansa Musa was born into a wealthy family in the year 1280. His father was the ruler of the Mali Empire, which at the time was one of the wealthiest and most powerful empires in West Africa. Mansa Musa was not the firstborn son, but his intelligence and charm quickly made him a favourite of his father and the people of the empire.

As a child, Mansa Musa was educated in the ways of Islam and was trained in subjects such as law, history, and administration. He was a quick learner and showed a great deal of promise from an early age. However, his path to the throne was not without its challenges.

When Mansa Musa's father died in 1312, the empire was in a state of turmoil. There were several contenders for the throne, and it was not immediately clear who would succeed the previous ruler. Mansa Musa's older brother was initially chosen to be the next ruler, but he proved to be an ineffective leader and was eventually overthrown by Mansa Musa himself.
Now, let's be real. Overthrowing your own brother to become ruler of an empire is not exactly the most honourable thing to do. But in Mansa Musa's defence, he did it with style. He gathered a group of loyal followers and staged a successful coup, declaring himself the new ruler of the Mali Empire. It's like something out of Game of Thrones, only with less incest and more gold.

As soon as he took the throne, Mansa Musa set about consolidating his power and expanding the empire's territory. He was a savvy leader and quickly realized that the key to success was controlling the empire's vast resources, particularly its gold mines. He also developed a strong military and established trade relationships with neighbouring kingdoms.

La danse africaine désigne les danses dansées en Afrique et faisant partie de la culture africaine.
Il y a plusieurs sortes de danses africaines énumérées dans la liste de danses. Ces danses ont toutes un contexte géographique, historique et social différent1. Elles servent à exprimer chaque étape dans la vie d'un homme africain. Elles sont pratiquées par des hommes, des femmes ou même des enfants qui dansent au rythme du djembé. Traditionnellement, ces danses sont effectuées lors des mariages, des fêtes et de célébrations.

Elles sont un moyen d'expression c'est-à-dire qu'elles servent à exprimer des émotions car le corps entier est suscité. Il faut donc beaucoup d’énergie et, à ce titre, elles sont recommandées pour les personnes souffrant de stress. Depuis le début des années 2010, ces danses sont un phénomène de mode. Elles sont de plus en plus pratiquées aussi bien par les hommes, les femmes que les enfants. Ces danses sont inspirées par la faune et apportent de la souplesse et de la résistance car les hommes réalisent des sauts et des acrobaties tandis que les femmes travaillent leur agilité des hanches. Le son du djembé est rapide et tonique. Il est réalisé par des professionnels mais peut être aussi enseigné.

The Kora is One of the most Sacred Entertainment tools that was believed to be invented by an unseen being in exchange for a sacrifice. Since then it has been the most significant musical tools in the Mandingo History as it was one the tools used the day when Mansa Musa was enthroned as The king Of Mali downwards to the day Mansa Janke Wally Sanneh Was Enthroned as King of Kabu as well.

Performance 2 July 2017
The Malinese diva, Oumou Sangaré, returns to the Africa Festival in Hertme after 24 years. After years of silence she is back: West African diva Oumou Sangaré is celebrated for her bright voice, her fresh, sensual songs and her power.
On her 18th, she still sang on the street in Bamako, Mali, but three years later Oumou Sangaré celebrated her great international breakthrough with her energetic, danceable songs. The success of her 1990's debut album Moussoulou ("Women") was partly due to her lyrics, which were openly taboo-breaking.
In 1993 she was a 25-year-old young woman at the stage in Hertme.
Anno 2017, Oumou Sangaré is a diva and a role model for women in Africa. She dares to challenge controversial subjects such as polygamy and female circumcision, but she also denotes female sensuality. With her bright voice and her unique, fresh approach to traditional music from hunters from the Wassoulou area, she also enjoys enchanting a Western audience. Beginning 2017, her new album will appear on the French label Nø Førmat!
