Mais peut-\u00eatre ne connaissez-vous pas l\u2019histoire de Mireille Keita-Gilgien\u00a0?
N\u00e9e au Mali, cette femme remarquable a \u00e9pous\u00e9 un Suisse et elle est venue vivre dans le pays de son amour. Mais elle reste Malienne jusqu\u2019\u00e0 la pointe des cheveux ; son p\u00e8re aussi revendique le fait qu\u2019elle conserve sa culture. <\/strong>
But maybe you don\u2019t know the story of Mireille Keita-Gilgien? Born in Mali, this remarkable woman married a Swiss man and came to live in the country of her love. But she remains Malian to the tips of her hair; her father also claims that she preserves her culture.

Traumatis\u00e9e dans son enfance par la mort d\u2019un enfant qui n\u2019a pas pu \u00eatre soign\u00e9 \u00e0 l\u2019h\u00f4pital, faute de payement, elle a pu sauver la vie d\u2019une jeune fille, quelques ann\u00e9es plus tard, en payant les soins n\u00e9cessaires. Mais elle a d\u00e9cid\u00e9 d\u2019en faire plus pour aider son pays, elle a cr\u00e9\u00e9 \u00ab Solidarit\u00e9 Afrique Farafina \u00bb<\/a>.<\/strong>
\u00ab Le but premier de l\u2019association est de financer des soins aux enfants malades du Mali et de soutenir des projets de d\u00e9veloppement socio-\u00e9conomique afin de rendre tout un village autonome en rendant la dignit\u00e9. \u00bb<\/strong><\/em>
L\u2019association SAF demande aux villageois de s\u2019impliquer dans le projet, de le porter, de le r\u00e9aliser. L\u2019association apporte l\u2019aide n\u00e9cessaire, savoir-faire, mat\u00e9riaux, etc. Ce n\u2019est pas un hasard si le prochain projet est un Centre de Formation Professionnelle pour les adolescents. <\/strong>
Traumatized in her childhood by the death of a child who could not be treated in hospital due to lack of payment, she was able to save the life of a young girl, a few years later, by paying for the necessary care. But she decided to do more to help her country, she created \u00ab Solidarit\u00e9 Afrique Farafina \u00bb<\/a>, \u00ab Solidarity Africa Farafina \u00bb.<\/span><\/strong>
\u00ab The primary goal of the association is to finance care for sick children in Mali and to support socio-economic development projects in order to make an entire village autonomous by restoring dignity. \u00bb<\/span><\/strong><\/em>
The SAF association asks villagers to get involved in the project, to support it, to carry it out. The association provides the necessary assistance, know-how, materials, etc. It is no coincidence that the next project is a Vocational Training Center for adolescents.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Plusieurs personnes sont venues du Mali \u00e0 l\u2019occasion du festival, pour voir comment cela se passe de ce c\u00f4t\u00e9, et pour t\u00e9moigner des r\u00e9alisations d\u00e9j\u00e0 effectu\u00e9es : une maternit\u00e9 o\u00f9 sont d\u00e9j\u00e0 n\u00e9s deux cents b\u00e9b\u00e9s, qui sont tous vivants, ainsi que les m\u00e8res. Une belle r\u00e9ussite, tr\u00e8s encourageante.<\/strong>
Several people came from Mali on the occasion of the festival, to see how things are going on this side, and to testify to the achievements already made: a maternity ward where two hundred babies have already been born, all of whom are alive, as well as the mothers . A great success, very encouraging.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Et c\u2019est comme \u00e7a que Paul et moi avons achet\u00e9 bien \u00e0 l\u2019avance nos billets d\u2019entr\u00e9e pour assister au septi\u00e8me festival, \u00e9couter la conf\u00e9rence nous plonger dans la culture africaine.<\/strong>
And that\u2019s how Paul and I bought our entry tickets well in advance to attend the seventh festival, listening to the conference, immersing us in African culture.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Les buffles sont \u00e0 moiti\u00e9 fous d\u2019impatience, Mireille a peur qu\u2019ils ne cassent tout. La conf\u00e9rence, riche en \u00e9motions, s\u2019ach\u00e8ve pour leur laisser la place. L\u2019une des deux femmes malienne se met \u00e0 chanter, mais bient\u00f4t, n\u2019y tenant plus, elle confie le micro \u00e0 sa camarade pour danser elle aussi. Si tu veux danser, tu danses, tu te laisses entra\u00eener par la magie. Car il y a de la magie et aussi quelque chose de mystique dans les danses, la danse du buffle, toutes les danses. <\/strong>
The buffaloes are half mad with impatience, Mireille is afraid that they will break everything. The conference, rich in emotions, ends to make room for them. One of the two Malian women begins to sing, but soon, no longer able to hold it, she hands the microphone to her friend so she can dance too. If you want to dance, you dance, you let yourself be carried away by magic. Because there is magic and also something mystical in the dances, the buffalo dance, all the dances.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Et pourtant, il fait tellement chaud\u00a0! Paul et moi cherchons l\u2019ombre. <\/strong>
Les percussionnistes ruissellent de sueur. Mes photos sont floues et les pas soul\u00e8vent la poussi\u00e8re\u00a0!<\/strong>
And yet it\u2019s so hot! Paul and I are looking for shade.<\/span><\/strong>
The percussionists are dripping with sweat. My photos are blurry and footsteps kick up dust!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Ici ou l\u00e0, de petits groupes \u00e9coutent le conteur Yapi (quand il n\u2019est pas \u00e0 courir \u00e0 droite et \u00e0 gauche comme organisateur), apprennent une danse, r\u00e9alisent de belles calligraphies o\u00f9 je reconnais Kokopelli, personnage pr\u00e9sent chez les Am\u00e9rindiens du nord, parfois aussi sur le continent sud.<\/strong>
Le programme est charg\u00e9, festif et international. Vous pouvez le consulter.<\/a> Malheureusement pour vous et pour nous, nous ne connaissons pas \u00e0 chaque fois le nom des artistes d\u2019autant plus que l\u2019horaire n\u2019est pas tellement respect\u00e9. Au point que deux spectacles sont lanc\u00e9s simultan\u00e9ment de part et d\u2019autre de la grande prairie o\u00f9 se tient le festival.<\/strong>
Here and there, small groups listen to the storyteller Yapi (when he is not running around as organizer), learn a dance, make beautiful calligraphies where I recognize Kokopelli, a character present among the North American Indians, sometimes also on the southern continent.<\/span><\/strong>
The program is busy, festive and international. You can consult it.<\/a> Unfortunately for you and for us, we do not know the names of the artists each time, especially since the schedule is not really respected. To the point that two shows are launched simultaneously on either side of the great meadow where the festival is held.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Pendant la danse endiabl\u00e9e avec Merlin, je n\u2019ai pas pu assister aux acrobaties d\u2019une jeune troupe pourtant tr\u00e8s performante. <\/strong>

Et voil\u00e0 que les marionnettes g\u00e9antes viennent serrer les mains. Le fils de Mireille anime le singe, je lui ai demand\u00e9 si le m\u00e9canisme n\u2019est pas trop lourd, et il m\u2019a montr\u00e9 sur son \u00e9paule la marque laiss\u00e9 par cette charge pesante.<\/strong>
And now the giant puppets come to shake hands. Mireille’s son animates the monkey, I asked him if the mechanism is not too heavy, and he showed me on his shoulder the mark left by this heavy load.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Ne pas oublier le clown Id\u00e0<\/a> et ses bulles magiques. Il est impossible d\u2019emp\u00eacher les enfants de courir les faire \u00e9clater, et Yapi a bien du mal \u00e0 garder assez d\u2019espace pour que le clown puisse \u00e9voluer.<\/strong>
Don’t forget the clown Id\u00e0<\/a> and his magic bubbles. It’s impossible to stop the children from running around and popping them, and Yapi has a hard time keeping enough space for the clown to move around.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Cette rencontre fantastique avait lieu il y a deux semaines. Je vous \u00e9cris depuis l\u2019Italie, o\u00f9 j\u2019ai appris que les petits filles naissent dans les roses.<\/strong>
