This September 22 marks the anniversary of Mali's independence.

60 years ago, the country left the federation it formed with Senegal, just a few months after being liberated from French colonization.

And as on every anniversary date, RFI brings you back to life the musical atmosphere of the time.

Special Culture Rendezvous with the Ségou Jazz orchestra, certainly the most popular in 1960.
