Fun and entertainment Bamako

Many concerts, theatre pieces, puppet shows, art exhibitions, photography, painting, take place. There is also a library and cinema. Visitors can come and enjoy a drink and read recent Malian and French newspapers. A programme is published every month. Initiations and computer animation are available at the library's multimedia workshop.

On the ground floor of the CCF, a Mali K 7 shop offers a wide range of Malian music (it is better to buy the Cds in this place rather than on the street, because Mali K 7 prints copyright to artists). You can know about culture in Mali and know the news of the CCF by logging in to its very complete site. You can take a pot on the Patio. A concert is scheduled on Thursday evenings.

Certainly the most cheryth box in Bamako. One of the few places where the boss, Laurent, gives you his tour!

Little maquis under a paillotte. Musical atmosphere and concerts. The price is correct. A nice place to drink a beer or eat skewers.

With some of the most interesting musical programming in the capital, Le Savana is one of the most popular addresses in Bamako. Many concerts take place every week, especially the Djibee 5 group on Wednesdays. Giant screen karaokés are also organised on Saturday and Sunday evenings. Possibility to dine on site (pizzas, grills…).

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The clientele is rather chic and excellent music.

Finally, the box is wide enough so that you don't choke it like most other clubs, even at weekends. A good address.

Good groups come there regularly. Good atmosphere.

Camp at the foot of the Falaise cliff. The rooms are simple, clean, authentic and comfortable: single rooms (or terrace) with mosquito nets, showers and toilets.

This is undoubtedly Mali's highest-tech box. She fureur on Saturday evening.

Set on the street of thirst, this hotel impresses first with the space allocated, where the throne is a huge bar. The DJ, slightly elevated in the ornate decor of candlelight, goes through salsa and African music. Concerts are held a few nights of the week. There are lots of toubabs, expatriates or tourists who have had a drink or dance on the track.

Repaire des expatriés de Bamako. The decoration, very original, entirely made from local materials, is particularly successful. The entire location is now air-conditioned. Chic and trendy. However, beer is more expensive than others. It is possible to eat, the dishes are rich and fine. On the welcome side, it is regrettable that the smile of servers sometimes'optional '. Pictures of photos or paintings are very often organized there.

It's been fashionable for a long time. Malian young people, and especially expatriates, find themselves in a caring setting. African and Western Musics. Many girls in light moral values attend the place.

Two stereo stereo rooms worthy of the most beautiful European rooms (most modern in West Africa) offer relatively recent films, mostly American, but also a number of French films. 

This space transforms itself into the event of the events in the TV plateau, theatre hall, disco. A good initiative!

Concerts, theatre plays and other shows (count between CFAF 1 500 and CFAF 2 000).

It is a very pleasant place where one comes less for the kitchen (suitable) and service (very long) than for orchestras. From 23 p. m. we can hear Malian music often tinged with Cuban sounds. Behind the garden (which is more an inner courtyard), there is a more fashionable nightclub in Bamako. The average age is high, and it speaks business and politics.

In addition to the traditional games, the Casino de l'Amity, adjacent to the hotel, includes a restaurant that is part of the good tables in Bamako. Concerts are scheduled every evening.

This is the favorite box of bamakoise youth.

Very nice maquis to drink a beer. Some claim to be eating the best Bamako chicken in Bamako!

A little eccentric in the area of Faladié, (at the roundabout of the Tower of Africa, take direction Kalaban and a few hundred meters on the left, a light sign will tell you the place), the Parc des Princes organizes concerts every night. «Sizes» of Malian music occur regularly.

Komoguel is the name of a neighbourhood of Mopti where, during the colonial period, Africans resided. This is absolutely incredible: It looks first like a large three storey building under construction (which is still a little bit). Once you have passed the grid that gives access to a long naked corridor, you arrive in a large inner courtyard. This is the heart of the Komoguel: the bar, the dance track and the stage on which groups occur twice a week (Wednesday and Friday) and all around, the terrace. But it's not finished, this place, huge, has many rooms (some of which are still in work), many atmospheres… On the floor of the rooms. On the terrace on the top floor there is a bar where you can come and enjoy skewers from 18 am and admire the sunset. This place, which breaststroke people from all walks of life, is one of the high places of the bamakoises nights. A guaranteed festive African atmosphere.
