#GreatAlbums1990s - #SalifKeita – #TalkingTimbuktu (1991). Mali’s Keita was joined by Carlos Santana and Weather Report’s Joe Zawinul on this rhythmically adventurous album showcasing Keita’s incredible vocal range and power. Themes of wisdom and knowledge on tracks like “Kuma” and “Lony” translate via the emotional conviction in Keita’s voice, supported by the music’s infectious groove combining African rhythm with elements of funk and jazz.

#GreatAlbums1990s - #AliFarkaToure with #RyCooder – #TalkingTimbuktu (1994). The late Ali Farka Touré conquered the “bad energy” of a Hollywood studio on this brilliant guitar-driven set, quietly supported by Ry Cooder. Although the music springs from Touré’s Malian routes, its affinities with American blues are strong on tracks like the haunting “Amandrai” and slow-burning “Ai Du.” Essential listening for guitar and African music fans alike.
