In 2011, the posthumous album Ali & Toumani, a duet with Bamako korist Toumani Diabaté, won a Grammy. And seventeen years after the death of the great Malian master Ali Farka Touré, his label World Circuit delivers nine original tracks.
Ali Farka Touré is well known as one of the most influential and talented guitarists that Africa has ever produced. His legacy and impact are hard to overstate: Ali's sound merged his much-loved traditional Malian musical styles with distinct elements of the blues, resulting in the creation of a groundbreaking new genre, now well known as the desert blues, earning him three Grammy awards and widespread reverence.
Voyageur is the first release of previously unheard music since 2010's Grammy-winning Ali & Toumani and features a collection of recordings captured at various points in Ali's illustrious career.
The album, which features fellow Malian superstar Oumo Sangaré on three tracks, reaffirms Ali's status as a globally revered legend of African music.
