ali farka touré & toumani diabaté - ali and toumani (2lp)

Ali and Toumani is a mesmerising collaboration between two of Mali's greatest musical legends—Ali Farka Touré, the master of the desert blues guitar, and Toumani Diabaté, the virtuoso kora player. Recorded in London, this album showcases the profound interplay between their instruments, blending intricate melodies and rhythmic patterns with an effortless grace.

The music captures the soulful essence of Malian tradition while delivering universal beauty through its serene and reflective tones. A fitting follow-up to their Grammy-winning In the Heart of the Moon, Ali and Toumani is an intimate, timeless masterpiece that speaks to the depth and unity of West African music.
