Rokia Traore's homeland (4)

I believe the answer is:

mali

(Other definitions for mali that I've seen before include "African country, once French Sudan" , "African country, former French colony" , "Country of West Africa" , "Send mail out to Africa" , "A state" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
