Boubacar "Kar Kar" Traore & Ali Farka Toure

Quel bonheur!!

slaves took their culture and music with them when they came to america and it gained popularity.

what a song!

MUSICIANS!!!!!!

this is the root of the blues my friend

Am I the only one getting tired of people calling this music "desert blues" or "mali blues" etc? I personally think they are two styles that developed fairly independently of each other, and beyond the pentatonic scale and plaintive nature of both genres, it's a stretch to try to reach for common ground. But it's a great marketing gimmick.

never mind the hassling over names and styles. Mali may be one of the poorest countries on Earth economically, it is one of the richest countries when it comes to music!!!

Iam not from Mali but i rank it 1st in the world when it comes to music.I mean who doesn't shed tears when Salif Keita opens his mouth?

yeah westa african music is the shit

I don't known the lyrics but, for me, this is a peaceful music. Great Music! Great Performers!
