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. <br /><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/GreatWorldAlbums" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>GreatWorldAlbums</span></a>, <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Music" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Music</span></a>, <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/WorldMusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>WorldMusic</span></a>, <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Blues" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Blues</span></a></p>
