TOURE, ALI FARKA
savane

Release Date: 17/07/2006

'savane' is the last solo album by the legendary malian singer and guitarist ali farka toure who died earlier this year. recorded in bamako with his specially assembled down-home ngoni group, 'savane' is a powerful reaffirmation of his umbilical link to his malian musical roots. already acclaimed as his finest album, 'savane' is both one of the most traditional and seemingly the most blues-drenched of ali's recordings.
