Fila Dambé from Djilly Kawral by Inna Baba Coulibaly

Fila Dambé Milk and meat are essential in Fulani culture, serving as a vital link between herders and consumers. Milk represents purity, cleanliness, love of neighbor, and communal living. In traditional Malian society, the Fulani exchanged milk and meat for rice and millet from the Bambara through a system of barter. Each group depended on the other, making peace essential for maintaining the stability of this traditional economic system based on interdependent trade. This system reinforced the Fulani's values of sharing and generosity, which were crucial to their way of life.
