A United Nations observance marking the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the dignity owed to every person.
A day for the thing remembered at the door, bought before closing, delivered before supper, or rescued just in time.
Not the June music day, but the December gathering in Bamako where musicians from across West Africa come to play in the clubs and open-air venues along the Niger. The music starts at 10 PM and ends when the musicians fall asleep. Ali Farka Toure used to play here, and his spirit is in every guitar riff and every ngoni phrase that echoes off the river.
