blues at it's finest. not delta blues,memphis blues,african blues but blues period!!! no labels please. blues are and exist where heavy hearts and weary souls forged in hard love reside.from the americas to africa and beyond. as a native southerner i should know.this man is a master.viv la ali farka toure!barakallah!
Ali Ibrahim Toure is a one time in a century kind of artist. His works are marvelous. There isn't any bad music where Ali was there. His collaboration with Ry cooder and Toumani Diabate are some of the proofs. His albums Niafunke, Svane, Ali Farka Toure and The river ( not in any particular order) are at the top of the specimens of African music.
Our Beloved Ali Farke Toure is sheer magic ... Vieux is certainly doing his father proud with his own amazing artistry ... How great it would have been to have them both performing at the 2010 African World Cup ... sigh ... For many of us ... Ali will live on indefinitely ...
C'est magique.... : On comprend que Ali Farka Touré fasse partie du classement mondial des meilleures guitaristes Et puis j'adore ce qui passe entre les deux musiciens: le plaisir de jouer et de partager: c'est çà l'esprit Africain!
Une musique de thérapie de traitement de toutes sortes de maux ,un éventail de sonorités légendaire d'une Afrique aux milles collines ,empreint d'une générosité traditionnelle, et la terre produit des hommes de tel sérail tel père tel fils un plus l'art culturel est une transmission de connaissances dans le vol vers Lusaka je retrouve ma fibre africaine comme une grâce le rythme man's blues l'Afrique berceau de l'humanité, merci Vieux Farka
Ed Helium Uhhhhh....No! Robert Johnson and others preceded Ali Farka. There are similarities in music from many cultures, however, the blues no more had its roots in Africa than it did in Native American music, Oriental music, Russian balalaika tunes.
Yukon Woman I have been reading & 'hearing' that blues came from Africa,over the 50 years I have been collecting & playing.You are way out on your own, Thanks for discussion. All the best. P.S.No one has ever called me 'simple minded'.
If you like Ali, you should check out his son Vieux Farka Toure. Very different both in musical approach and guitar technique. Much more African...works with traditional materials...but you can also see some incredible resemblances, not least of which is the utter and effortless command of the instrument.
A great artist and a great man! If a fraction of the celebrities were as talented and socially conscious as Ali was, we'd have better music and a better world. RIP, you're sorely missed!
Beautiful.Thankyou.I first saw Ali Farka Toure what must be getting on for twenty five years ago in Aldershot of all places.A great musician, sadly missed.
I don't think anyone is denying that blues grew out of African music. But as a distinct form, it did in fact come together in the US, and European music is also an influence, if for no other reason than the Africans had to adapt their music to European instruments, which had a different set of intervals than the ones that came from Africa. Much of what makes the blues unique is the minor over major tension that resulted. Don't deny the invention of the Africans forced to come to America.

But it is fascinating to hear it having returned to its old stomping ground. A West African musician can at the very least add an extra dimension to it.
Da' blu's is the blu's...no matter be it Robert, Muddy or Skip James...be it B.B or Albert...no matter...like John Lee Hooker say....serve you right to suffer, it serves you right to be alone... in dese's TB sheets...dey's a-killin' me.... have mercy on da' black-man....Lawd have mercy on dese's blu's
I am originally from Asia, never heard this brilliant artist before. Recently discovered him, he is one of the best.

Gone for ten years today... You'll never be forgotten Farka !
Didn't even know. His legacy will live on through me anyway!
Our Beloved Ali Farke Toure is sheer magic ...
Vieux is certainly doing his father proud with his own amazing artistry ... How great it would have been to have them both performing at the 2010 African World Cup ... sigh ...

Ali Farka Toure from Mali is was the best in Africa believe me Sir
Arouna Berry : True, Farka Toure is the best!
saw his son recently at a jazz festival and let me say. His dad would have been proud, Talent certainly did not skip a generation for the toure's
❤❤❤ Ali's sheer magic One love
Gone now. He left us his wonderful music and a very talented son to remember him by.
I did a presentation on him in my guitar workshop class in high school! Ali is a legend!!!!

Ali Farka Toure Rest In Peace. Your music lives on.. Thank u for posting this vid.
Is that Bassekou Kouyate? He is a freaking genius on ngoni. Hendrix on ngoni, appreciate!
Big up! Bassekou
What a huge loss! RIP Toure and thanks loads for all the joy and wisdom you enriched our lives with!
Definitely demonstrates 'the DNA of blues',here. Thanks for sharing this great video
Mali to Memphis

HeavyMental I have never heard anyone deny that the roots of blues are African.

Why insult people by calling them simple-minded, because your views differ from theirs?
Yukon Woman I have been reading & 'hearing' that blues came from Africa,over the 50 years I have been collecting & playing.You are way out on your own, Thanks for discussion. All the best. P.S.No one has ever called me 'simple minded'.
if you enjoyed this music, I suggest you listen to this band called 'Tinariwen'
Oh African music a pleasure from which all musics worldwide are born.
Ali s'en est certes allé mais Ali n'est pas mort!
Det här måste vara ett av dom allra bästa klippen på TH-cam alla kategorier.
Ali Farka Toure deserves a Museum/Movie ( there’s a documentary that could be improved ) in Mali.
This might be my 600th time playing this on youtube. I want to see him live real bad.
briannagelart me tooooooo.
I was lucky enough to catch Ali play live in Boulder, CO.
One of the most amazing shows I have ever seen.
Gifted.
The real African Blues, right from the source!
My GOD!... this is pure greatness!
Chapeau bas ! Je suis à fond dedans !
I adore him ! He just blows me away !
Fabulous, thanks for posting this top music. It's like listening to African version of John Lee Hooker!
A sinda wi, ni ma; i kirikoy sabey; a sinda wi, hal abada!
The bridge between Afrikan and Afrikan-American music....the roots of spiritual hymns... Gospel...The Blues....Jazz....R&B......
I LOVE GOOD MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!! PUTS A SMILE ON MY FACE
The Grande Master Himself! The best.
Sheer genius. Two bad-asses out- badding each other.
One of the best artist in this earth
Miss him indeed! Looovve his music! Thankful the music lives on.

the root of all modern music is there. But this is pure,pure soul,spiritual,I'm sure Ali Farka is between God playing a guitar and God likes it.Peace.

Ali is the best Allah ya Rahmah, I love his music
RIP king of blues THE BIG ALI FARKA Mali blues is the best

Un grand de la guitare, il est mort, mais les cordes de sa guitare continuent à faire parler de lui. Aly dors en paix.
Fantastic music
Thanks from Greece
Extasy Music !
Allah YrHam ALI
They're making amazing music and loving it. So fun to watch!
Africa coming out!
IS THIS THE ROOT OF BLUES? SOUNDS SO GOOD TO ME!!!
Yes, it is. Originated from Griot, which is a West African historian, storyteller, praise singer, poet and/or musician. Ali was one of the best.
But it is fascinating to hear it having returned to its old stomping ground. A West African musician can at the very least add an extra dimension to it.
Ali Farka tiene una magia especial que nos hace realmente disfrutar y sentir su música
thanks for letting us experience this wonderful music!!
i love ali farka great man !!! the hero die but his legend stell alive !!! blues power
The King of African Blues
Saugeil, Grüße aus dem schönen Österreich

Un homme qui est traversé par la musique.
It's called 'ngoni' or 'xalam' and the player is Bassekou Kouyate, aka the Jimi Hendrix of the ngoni.
