Simply Awesome

 Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: Two great african musician combine to make great produce. If you are a music lover, it is a must album. The collaboration is simply awesome.. Just bought yesterday and I can't stop playing it. Awesome.

Awesome! Really grows on you!

 Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: This is an exquisite album from Ali Farka Toure that presents some of his best work. It grows on you when listening to it again and again. Although other albums are perhaps better known and have some catchy tracks (e.g., "Talking Timbuktu" and "The River"), this album is almost perfect. "Kadi Kadi" and "Gomni" are especially good tracks; "Monsieur le Maire de Niafunké" has an engaging bass riff that stands out. We were very fortunate to have had Ali Farka Toure among us, albeit for all-too-short a time. He lives on forever in this music.

Amazing album, amazing music

 Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: The music from this album will take you to another world. What's even more impressive is when you find out the two musicians recorded the music unrehearsed.

Brilliant

 Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: This album is brilliant - a good choice for those new to Toure's artistry, and those already devoted fans.

BEAUTIFUL MUSIC FROM MALI

 Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: A GREAT COLLABORATION BETWEEN ALI FARKA TOURE AND TOUMANI DIABETE. I HAVE ALMOST ALL OF TOURE'S ALBUMS, AND THIS ONE REALLY STANDS OUT, IT IS UNREHEARSED SPONTANEOUS JAMMING WITH DIABETE, WHO PLAYS THE KORA. I WAS INTRODUCED TO THE SOUND OF THAT INSTRUMENT ON THE CD "MUSIC FROM THE HEARTS OF THE MASTERS" WITH JACK DEJOHNNETTE AND FODAY MUSA SUSO, WHICH IS YET ANOTHER OUTSTANDING RELEASE. THE KORA IS A 21 STRINGED INSTRUMENT THAT SOUNDS LIKE A CROSS BETWEEN A GUITAR AND A HARP. THIS IS A TRULY EXCEPTIONAL, VERY MUSICAL CD THAT ANY MUSICIAN OR MUSIC APPRECIATOR WILL ENJOY A LOT. TWO SUPERLATIVE MUSICIANS.
