Beautiful cd : Toumani Diabate : The Mande Variations

" "In the Heart of the Moon" (2005) is has become the stuff of legends. The two lions of Malian music - the griot from the south (Diabaté) and the blues guitarist from the north (Touré) - met at the Hotel Mandé in Bamako, on the banks of the Niger river, and without any rehearsal recorded an improvised set that was intimate, gentle and haunting. The partnership was further sealed with a further London recording session, the fruits of which were finally released this year : "Ali and Toumani". "
