Description

Double album with full sleeve notes, previously unseen photographs and exclusive unreleased track. 2 x 180g heavyweight vinyl in gatefold sleeve with 28 page colour booklet. A brilliant collection of songs from the father of desert blues on blistering form with his home town group from Mali, available for the first time on vinyl. The classic album stunningly remixed and remastered from the original analogue master tapes with an exclusive unreleased track Takamba.

Toure is a technical marvel, and his delicately plucked clusters and blindingly fast runs gather influences from African hymns to folk songs. Rolling Stone Top 100 Guitarist
