Ali Farka Touré
Internationally feted at the age of 50, Ali Farka Touré's life was not always so easy. Up till the release of this, his first album, he was virtually unknown in West Africa and a non-entity in the world music community. Before this album bought him fame, if not fortune, Touré's life resembled Amos Tutuola's in Palm Wine Drunkard, a mixture of hard ...

by
Various Artists
African rhythms have provided the foundation of so much of the world's pop music, from blues and rock to reggae, funk, and rap, from jazz to salsa to hip-hop. Returning to Africa in their new pop clothes, these strains have, in turn, influenced African musicians, and have been, in effect, re-Africanized. No better example than Ali Farka Toure, ...

The answer, of course, is that you can't, although this compilation does glide over some of the high spots -- but only some. So there are classic performances by Mali's Super Rail Band and Ali Farka Toure, plus Orchestra Baobob, revealing the influence Cuban ...
