Ali Farka Touré
“Baliky Lalo“ and “La Drogue“ and “Cheri“
RIP, Ali.
Ali Farka Touré was perhaps the most influential and widely celebrated African musician in history. He adapted his ancestral music to the 6-string guitar. The results are brilliant. I won’t say much more, there’s been more than enough written on Ali in the last while. I’m too lazy to link most of it here, but you can get a good start with NPR’s tribute piece and Banning Eyre’s Village Voice obit.
Side note: this tape reminds me of John Fahey, another enormously influential late folk/roots guitar hero.
A good record that includes music from this era of his career.

i could die for the ali farka and toumani record – though i don’t it! 1 or 2 weeks ago the awesome karl lippegaus brought a 2 hour feature about toure on the german deutschlandradio berlin. i nearly cried with this beautiful music.
maybe you want to check out my side on http://mr-lucky.blogspot.com, but I just have one post so far – a early Material record: “Memory Serves”.

Very cool blog. I found it while searching for info on Alhaji K Frimpong — I heard him on the radio in a taxi in Tamale and was immediately hooked.
Hope to see some more posts.
