[@brianlongshore]

I love the kora music. Mali is the origin of so much amazing music.

Mali 🇲🇱 looks so clean beautiful city I shall visit some day. Thank you for showing us Mali 🇲🇱

[@apriljackson5304]

I really appreciate all the extra effort you put into filming this country. Such a shame because the art scene is so unique and worth exploring. I'm so happy some people consented to your filming them because everything is so worth viewing. I love this cultural content and applaud your hard work‼️👏🏼🙏🏼

[@Gassama-lh3rc]

thank you very much my friend for visiting my city, you are the best, you are doing great job,

[@livencali1]

[@visualpoet1]

@Cassama1225 I see you 😀 Thank you!

[@livencali1]

Thank you so much for recording the beautiful people and country of Mali! I am from the USA and have been following Mali's progress and are proud of my brothers and sisters. Viva Mali and black power is the only true power! I hope that they let you come back and film more.

The Kora the English translation for the string instrument the man was playing at 12:50 is such a healing instrument to listen too. Also, when the artisan was making the pottery he made a very good point, it’s better to place your grocery goods in that which is natural not anything plastic especially something you purchase for nutritional or medicinal value. In the West, we are catching up to that comprehension for a variety of reasons placed in the airwaves.

[@141meagan]

I really wish I knew more about the culture and history of this country! Thank you for showing what you could, it was greatly appreciated! I have only just heard of mali (American education doesn’t teach much outside their own history)… and only found out about here because it’s somewhere in my DNA (according to ancestry DNA) and I have absolutely no idea where that could have landed but it made me curious and wanting to understand more than I do.

[@sorybah6857]

No brother, you don't understand it well, you know nowadays there is a huge insecurity so people are scared that's why they are reticent from the cameras.

[@christopherdainton4224]

It's not a black-white thing. It's a Bamako thing. If anything, it's worse as a white (or at least non-African looking person) because they think you're a French spy.

[@MrResearcher122]

This is a beautiful video. Mali seems to have kept a West African spirit, especially in the market place, despite the challenges of war. By not having the modern things, they have kept the traditional things. Many also look like the West Indians, such as Jamaicans, St Lucians, Antiguans and Trinis etc.

[@ciwoza6985]

I had to stop the vid to say, the artistry from Mali mask to the Tuareg jewelry, had a mid-evil masculinity beauty about them. These were very beautiful pieces. No doubt you went beyond the boundaries, even promoting their work and marketing the region. Excellent work despite the risk. Thanks for persevering yourself by minimizing risk and understanding different feelings and expressions about being filmed. You live to film another day!

[@lalajaiteh7620]

Thank you for sharing such a wonderful beautiful video on Mali. However, you have to understand that documentary video shootings goes with risk. Secondly, the people you mingle with are not from the same culture as you. Thirdly Mali is a country that went through a lot of political instability ranging from European sabotage the french and also from their own neighbouring country senegal and ivory coast. I think we the African should try to love one another ,respect one another that is the only means to stop external penetration from outside.

I like your channel, I understand how it can be difficult to film various people. What you need to say to them, is how you want to Promote their country. Because they don't show things about Mali in the West, and if they do its negative. Your aim is to display Mali in a positive light.
