“Mali-Malist is a word game mixing Mali and minimalist. I wrote this piece for a “Festival au Desert, Presenza dAfrica” in 2012 where I played with the women singers group Tartit from Mali.

It´s a high-energy piece where I try to make the audience feel what Mali´s people feel when the war siren starts to sound.” [Simón García]
