While his son Vieux pioneers on with great West African guitar music, Ali Farka Touré is gone, and we won't be hearing much new music from him. That's what makes the anticipation of the forthcoming album Ali & Toumani such a delicious agony. The second album of guitar-kora collaboration with Toumani Diabaté after 2005's Grammy-winning In the Heart of the Moon , Ali &Toumani promises more of the intricate fingerpicking we've come to expect from these two African masters.

Dirty Projectors picks up where Talking Heads left off two decades ago in integrating the muscularity of rock with the liquidness of funk. It's as if key Projector Dave Longstreth has taken to heart George Clinton's advice, "Free your mind and your ass will follow". The inquisitive spirit that pervades Bitte Orca is encapsulated in "Stillness is the Move", where songcraft, arrangement, and production work together seamlessly. Electronic bass samples and acoustic drums join forces with double-tracked guitar, setting the scene for duelling diva vocals. Painting on the canvas of rock music, "Stillness is the Move" drips [...]

Filed under: Around the World There are many theories as to why Malian musicians have in recent years found such receptive audiences in cultures far outside of Mali, from the late Ali Farka Touré and, more recently, his son Vieux Farka Touré to Touareg rebels Tinariwen .

According to Wikipedia; Ali Ibrahim "Farka" Touré (October 31, 1939 – March 7, 2006) was a Malian singer and guitarist, and one of the African continent's most internationally renowned musicians. His music is widely regarded as representing a point of intersection of traditional Malian music and its North American cousin, the blues . The belief that the latter is historically [...]

Ali Farka Touré & Ry Cooder : Diaraby [ purchase ] I first thought of posting the great Ethiopian singer Mahmoud Ahmed, but then to my surprise I realized that his song "Era Mèla Mèla" was less than 7 minutes long, so I'll save it for another theme.

There are lots of reasons I need to get to know this guy who seems to have interests in Blues and Reggae. On his debut solo album Between Midnight and Day (1995) he investigated the repertoire of Charlie Patton, Booker White, Fred McDowell, Muddy Waters and Sleepy John Estes. In 2002, Harris collaborated with Ali Farka Toure on his album, Mississippi to Mali, fusing blues and Toure's music from northern Mali. Harris has also lived and traveled widely in West Africa, an influence that has permeated much of his work. He helped Billy Bragg and [...]
Vieux Farka Touré will perform at the Cedar Cultural Center in Minneapolis amongst the musician's 2009 North American tour.
This is a tribute from Ali Farka's son using his original guitar. His music is widely regarded as representing a point of intersection of traditional Malian music and its North American cousin, the blues. The belief that the latter is historically derived from the former is reflected in Martin Scorsese's often quoted characterization of Touré's tradition as constituting "the DNA of the blues". Touré was ranked number 76 on Rolling Stone's list of "The 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time".
Thought I'd try something a little different here. Anyone else who takes the time and effort to keep a blog that anything related to music knows how hard it can get to keep up with things. The majority of us aren't like Stereogum , Rock Sellout or The Music Slut . This is just something we do on the side because of our love/obsession/addiction to good music. There aren't going to be any album or concert reviews or such here because, well, I suck at critiquing anything and very rarely will I go to a concert [...]

Ali Farka Toure - Penda Yoro
Here's a brilliant slice of West African blues from the late Malian guitarist and singer Ali Farka Toure. Penda Yoro is taken from his final album, the posthumously released Savane . The sharp fluidity of the guitar as it rolls through the song is a real delight. It's unfussed and joyful. While Toure was undoubtedly a great musician, it seems he didn't much enjoy the celebrity that his music brought him. In his later years he preferred life on his rice farm to life on the road or in a recording [...]

Ali Farka Touré - Savane (2006)
Savane, the great African guitarist and bluesman Ali Farka Touré's final solo studio album, was recorded in his native Mali toward the end of his life, when the artist knew his days were numbered. He spent his last years in his home village of Niafunké, concentrating on farming and family matters, jamming with local musicians of an evening. This impassioned, roots-drenched, mostly acoustic
Ali Farka Touré - Niafunke (1999)
The most important thing to understand about this recording is the genuineness of Toure's claim to be be playing Malian music first, and American blues second. Toure is not the Malian John Lee Hooker. He plays the music of his land, with it's time, steps, paces, thoughts and wishes. It is trite and simple to say that Blues comes from Africans therefore . . . Toure is a deceptively simple
