Music enthusiasts drawn to Mali desert for tenth annual festival:
"TIMBUKTU - The tenth edition of Mali’s popular Festival in the Desert kicked off Thursday evening on the outskirts of the legendary city of Timbuktu in the Sahara desert.
Close to 10,000 music fans - some from as far away as Japan and the United States - joined local Tuareg, nomads in the dunes, to hear some of Mali’s and Africa’s biggest music stars perform over three days.
The tenth anniversary of the festival coincides with the launch of Mali’s 50th anniversary celebrations marking its freedom from France."
