Ali Farka Toure 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 ground-breaking new genre, now well known as the ‘Desert Blues’, earning him 3 Grammy

awards and widespread reverence. Voyageur is the first release of previously unheard music since 2010’s Grammy-winning Ali and

Toumani, and features a collection of previously unheard gems captured at various points in Ali’s illustrious career. The album,

which features fellow Malian superstar Oumou Sangaré on 3 tracks, reaffirms Ali’s status as a globally revered legend of African

music.
