The Exile Of Music From Mali

You know that the days are evil when even music is exiled from a country. Music is thought to lift the human spirit and propel human beings into ecstasies that throw them into the realm of the transcendent. One African philosopher and statesman even described Africans as people whose very lives are characterized by music. God is even believed to be a lover of music! However, in the African country of Mali today, music has been exiled. A musical festival that has come to partly define the Tuareg culture, has been deemed evil by the Islamic terrorists who are now transforming the lives of the people into hell. This year, the festival will be held in Burkina Faso instead. Given that Islamic terrorists hate music, it is no wonder that they live very sad lives characterized by all sorts of brutality.  There will be no peace in northern Mali until music comes back home. Enjoy below what Mali will miss this year.
