Mali Radiosender

Mali's airwaves carry some of the most celebrated music on the planet: desert blues from the Sahara, kora masters in the griot tradition, and Bambara pop from Bamako's studios. The state ORTM broadcasts in French and national languages, but Mali's real radio story is its hundreds of private and community stations — a post-1991 media flowering that made it a continental pioneer. Radio remains vital for security information across the vast, troubled north.
