Ali Farka Toure | 2xVinyl LP | Talking Timbuktu | World Circuit

Description:

Seminal Grammy-award winning album now available as limited edition 2LP on 180 gram vinyl. 'Talking Timbuktu' is a groundbreaking record that vividly illustrates the Africa-Blues connection in real time. Ali Farka Toure, one of Mali's leading singer-guitarists, has a trance-like, bluesy style that, although deeply rooted in Malian tradition, bears astonishing similarity to that of John Lee Hooker or even Canned Heat. It's a mono-chordal vamp, with repetitive song lines cut with shards of blistering solo runs that shimmer like a desert mirage. Toure may be conversant with some blues artists, but it is unlikely that artists like Hooker or Robert Pete Williams ever heard these Malian roots, which makes the connection so uncanny. Ry Cooder, well versed in domestic and world guitar styles, is the perfect counterpoint in these extended songs / jams, his sinewy slide guitar intertwining with his partner's in a super world summit without barriers or borders.LP - 180 Gram Double Vinyl with Bonus Track and Download.
