Album Review
Guitarist Ali Farka Touré has repeatedly bridged the gap between traditional African and contemporary American vernacular music, and this release continues that tradition. The CD features him singing in 11 languages and playing acoustic and electric guitar, six-string banjo, njarka, and percussion, while teaming smartly with an all-star cast that includes superstar fusion bassist John Patitucci, session drummer Jim Keltner, longtime roots music great Ry Cooder (who doubled as producer), venerable guitarist Gatemouth Brown, and such African percussionists and musicians as Hamma Sankare on calabash and Oumar Touré on congas.
Customer Reviews
Less Ry and more Farka Toure
I always thought of this album as more Cooder accompanying Farka Toure than a shared project. I do not think it is as successful as A Meeting by the River which Itunes inexplicably leaves out of Cooder's catalogue (Considering that it won a Grammy and an Indie award).
Magic
This album's tranquil strums had me in a daze when I first heard this album. Its a must buy!
TT from Dubai
This is an absolutely excellent album and we have not stopped playing it since we bought it. It appeals to us as both jazz / blues and alternative music fans. Love it!!!!
