Sounds of Mali
Harvesting rice in a paddy field

This is the sound of paddy fields, which are fields under water where rice is grown. Though Mali is very dry, rice can be grown along the rivers and in other places during the rainy season. Rice is a very important food in Mali. Listen to the paddy fields again if you'd like to.
