T...SAMBA TOURE

He sang this to me as he drove me across Bamako in 2011 after the Festival Au Desert in Timbuktu. Fantastic to see him performing this in his video. Fantastic groove from one of the maestros from Mali. Thank you Samba.

In response to: Msg #189517

Welcoming Jo Trouble to our Malian dance party...and in she walks with Toumani & Sidike Diabite that she met in Auckland recently...the former recorded and played with the late Ali Farka Toure...further evidence Mali is the centre of African music...and Jo has been thus coverted!!! Reply to this
