Ali Farka Touré - Ali Aoudy (Mali, 1984, Disques Esperance)

Father of the "Desert Blues" genre, Ali Farka Touré was a very well known Malian artist (considered as one of the greatest African guitar player ever), who recorded many albums during his life (his last from 2005, "In the Heart of the Moon", recorded with Toumani Diabate won a Grammy award) and who collaborated with many national & international artists.   Ali Farka Touré died in 2006 in Bamako at the age of 67.   For today, I wanted to share with you "Ali Aoudy", a bewitching Afro Desert Blues track from this legendary guitarist, Malian answer to the American bluesman John Lee Hooker - Close your eyes, and enjoy !
