Ali Farka Touré
I just discovered that the great Ali Farka Touré died last March. I never knew. Although Satch mentioned it in his recent "Those No Longer With Us Thread" noting deaths in 2006 (which I never really went through until just now when I found out Mr Touré was dead).
I'm sad for the fact that he's gone, I love his music, and also that I didn't discover this at the time. I'm dumbfounded.
Be well, Mr Touré.

Yeah, not exactly what I expected to find opening this thread, that's for sure.
Back on topic, I was not familiar with Ali Farka Toure, but I have heard a little bit and I am going to check out more. Go figure he would have to pass for this

I would have started a thread for him and the others on the list, but it bugs me that it usually ends up being only you, Roivas, Jazzfromhell and myself who even bother with them.

A small vigil is better than none at all.

To keep the spirit of this thread going, does anybody dig other kinds of African music/musicians? I find isicathamiya and mbube music fascinating.
I remember, Jazz, that you mentioned a long time ago that you saw a Salif Keita show. Gotta love the griot.

I actually got invited to the Salif Keita show, so had no idea who I was seeing, and still don't know that much about him. When it comes to Africa, I'm a big fan of Fela Kuti, although I only have one CD. One of these days, the number'll go up.

I really love the Nonesuch Explorer Series. Specifically
Kenya & Tanzania: Witchcraft & Ritual Music
West Africa; Drum Chant and Instrumental
Some names of specific musicians I dig are D'Gary, Cesaria Evora, Fela Kuti, Franco, Master Musicians of Jajouka and Jali Musa Jawara.
I used this list to remember my mind on the subject
http://africanmusic.org/alpha.html
And one album I swear is so cool is Juju Roots 1930's - 1950's. And of course King Sunny Ade.
