Description

“Radio Mali” features material originally recorded for broadcast on Radio Mali from 1970-78. It was these tapes that introduced Ali Farka Touré's unique guitar style to the attention of his countrymen. Once available in France on vinyl, these were among the very first commercial records of Malian music.
As a single collection, this is the finest yet of Toure's slow-burning music, characterized by nimble, expressive guitar playing and strong, expressive singing.
Half the tunes feature Toure alone on guitar and vocals; elsewhere he is backed by the ngoni's beautiful rattle-buzz, a full choir, a smattering of percussion, and a violin player whose sliding, high-pitched notes echo the fiddle playing of Appalachia. Throughout, Toure's singing has a wider range than you'd expect (considering that he's known as the "African John Lee Hooker") and his bluesy guitar playing is always melodic, modal, and meditative. The connections between American Blues and the sounds of the Sahel are clearly apparent.
This is some mind-blowing stuff, a hypnotic master class.
