about

(name of a region)
Mandé is a region of Mali stretching from the south of Bamako to beyond the border of
Guinea Conakry. In Mandé, the population is mostly Mandéka, Maninka or Malinké. The Dogon people living in the centre of Mali on the cliffs of Badiangara say that they emigrated from MANDÉ to create the Dogon country on these cliffs. Their nearest neighbours were the people of Macina, the Bozo, the Tuareg. There was a lot of mixing between these different ethnic groups, whether as farmers or livestock farmers.
The Tuareg are the “cousins in jest” of the Dogons.
Marriages between Dogon and Peul began early in the fifteenth century; that's why there are many Peul words in Dogon dialect!!
The song Mandé, which is sung in Dogon, invites all these fine people to the ‘Tougouna’ (a hangar style meeting room where people have to sit down to talk because the low ceiling doesn’t allow them to stand) where they join forces to build their common country: Mali.

le "Mandé"une region du Mali qui s'étend du sud de Bamako jusqu'au delà des frontières de la
Guinée Conakry.
Dans le Mandé vit une population à majorité Mandéka , Maninka ou Malinké. Le peuple Dogon qui vivent au centre du Mali sur les Falaises de Badiangara disent qu'ils ont émigré du MANDÉ pour créer le Pays Dogon sur ces falaises. Leur plus proches voisins furent les peules du Macina,les Bozo,les Touarègues.
Il y a eu beaucoup de brassage entre ces différentes ethnies. Tantôt cultivateur tantôt éleveur de bétail.
Les Touarègues sont les "cousins à plaisanterie" des Dogons
Les Mariages entre Dogon et Peule ont commencé tôt depuis le xv°siècle ; c’est pourquoi dans le dialecte Dongon, il y a beaucoup de mots Peules!!
La chanson Mandé qui est chantée en langue Dogon, invite tout ce beau monde sous le Tougouna (hangar salle de réunion où on est obligé de s'asseoir pour discuter, impossible de se mettre debout car le toit est très bas) pour mettre leurs forces ensemble afin de construire leur pays commun : le Mali.
