Vinyl LP pressing. Ali Farka Touré 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 groundbreaking 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 2006's 'Savane', and features a collection of recordings 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.
